Elliot's only response to Rae's shared bit of knowledge and her quip about her faerie ass, was to laugh, heartily and with much amusement. It wasn't every day a vampire got to indulge in a witty conversation with a woman who had butterfly wings poking out of her back.
His eyes narrowed when she admitted that she was trying to get a rise out of him. "I should hope I look nothing like a damn Cullen, sparkly skin or not." Count Chocula, he could deal with. "And in that same vein, I could easily have called you Bug Lady, instead of Tinkerbell." His expression showed that he was kidding.
Elliot inclined his head when she explained that this particular area of New York was not, in fact, home to many of the fae population. He knew of a few werewolves, as well as his own kin, but as far as other beings went, he was unaware of how dense their population was. "Sounds like you got a shit deal in the whole mystical gene pool. The vampire social circle isn't quite that small, but you're right about it being a solitary life, for the most part. We keep to ourselves, my kin and I. There's only about seven of us. The rest have been hunted and killed."
Nice. It had been nice, hadn't it? "Get punched and make a friend, all in one night." He pursed his lips and nodded. "As far as nights go, I've had worse and I've had better. So yeah. Clean slate." He smiled.
The smile grew into another grin at her response to being called saucy. "Absolutely. From what I recall about human food, spicy sauce was the best kind. It suits you."
"See what I mean about vampires being good at disguising themselves? Lohan's a vampire. Trust me." he winked. "Also, Meg Ryan, Tony Danza, and Colin Mochrie. But you didn't hear any of this from me. Wouldn't want to be lynched by the Hollywood vampires."
Elliot shook his head when she made the suggestion that he run to escape the hunters. "Tried that with the first guy, and I was lucky enough to escape him. I'm not as strong or as fast if I haven't fed for a while..."
Feed from her? Elliot blinked. No one had ever freely offered for him to do that before. At least not without a little mind control. "My control is excellent," he said evenly. He didn't want to seem too eager, but if she was willing...
