"Mm.." was all Eric replied with to the comment about 'getting around' that John had made. Whomever had been claiming the vampires attention was none of his business, John didn't belong to him nor would he ever. It was just odd that such a drastic shift in temperament could spawn from the influence of another. Or perhaps Eric just didn't know John as well as he thought he had.
"Yeah, they were different," Eric replied. There was no getting around that. Arching his eyebrows, he waited for some explaination. He didn't want to give up on John if there wasn't need for it, but he would do what had to be done.
"I'm glad you came here tonight," the hybrid breathed, honestly. His shoulders slumped some with he weight of what lingered between them but otherwise he waited patiently.
