"Oh.." Elliott nodded. "That makes sense.. Well, as much as vampires and supernatural races can make sense, I guess.."
At the lean in and words, he offered the other man a small smile. "I appreciate that, Eric.. I'm not a big fan of my friends getting hurt." Looking over at him, he smirked, chuckling into his cup as he took a drink of cider. "You'd think vampires would want to blend in.. But you're anything but inconspicuous." There might've been something appreciative in his tone, Elliott wasn't blind or deaf and Eric was an attractive man and eloquent. Though, he suspected it had to do with being a vampire and the need to entice prey.
