"I can honestly say, I've not met enough vampires like you."
"Most vampires don't live long enough to gain the perspective. I am not sure if I am sad for them, or envy them."
Godric met the wizard's hand with his own, returning a firm, but honest handshake.
"I am Godric. My full name is long and in a very dead language, so that will have to do."
Releasing the man's hand, Godric continued to hold the man's gaze with a level of sympathy.
"Your previous assumptions did not offend. Indeed, you were right to question me. I am sad to say that there are still many of my kind...and yours...who wish to see the light extinguished for all time. There are dark days ahead, Harry Dresden. It will not be an easy path, and it will be especially difficult..."
Godric paused to smile.
"...if you don't have a working car. We really should look at that, shouldn't we?"
