Arsène's cheerful, easygoing manner quickly eases Julian's fears. The younger vampire soon begins to relax, really relax, for the first time since arriving in London. He accepts the playful cuff to the shoulder, finding himself quite excited at the prospect of having a drinking companion and, perhaps, even a friend.
"Yes, please," he says eagerly. A drink does indeed sound like just the thing, and he could certainly use one after his encounter with the dark one in the park. "I would like that, Arsène. I would like that very much." He pauses and looks down at his bare torso. "Though I fear I am not dressed properly to mix with humans. Going about in winter without a coat tends to attract the wrong sort of attention."
