let me know if any of this isn't okay
[Eric quirks an eyebrow at him. There are plenty of beings here who can smell that he's a vampire. He takes a quick sniff of the air, immediately able to tell that the boy isn't human, but he's also nothing that Eric has ever smelled before. Oddly enough he smells a bit like Eric remembers 'home' smelling in the middle of winter. Immediately, because of that, Eric feels as if he wants to be around the kid.
That doesn't mean he trusts him enough to bare all his weaknesses so he's going to lie about needing to sleep at night.]
At home I run a nightclub. I'm accustomed to sleeping during the day.
[And occasionally he does stay awake during the day here. The sun won't burn him and he relishes his time spent in the sun, but if he doesn't sleep at night on a regular basis, he gets the bleeds: blood flows from his nose, ears and eyes. It's not a pretty sight.]
