"And I'll hope you just forget about it," but she knew eventually, someday, he'd probably ask for the story. That was just his way of things. "All those things and more." She gave a little smirk before shaking her head. There were moments she missed those wild days. They required less control and less monitoring herself which, by default, meant they also were just an easier time.

"Evidently he caused his last girlfriend to get turned into a vampire." She shrugged. That was the gist of the story he'd told. "Kind of sounded more like she made a bunch of dumb decisions that came from him not being entirely upfront." Just like his situations here. "I think he tried to protect her by keeping her out of things but she was nosy and ended up digging into it." Which was his fault and wasn't at the same time. Maybe if he'd just been honest and upfront with her it wouldn't have happened at all, but it was also her choice to continue pursuing things. "I don't think that was his only bad experience like that either." He'd alluded to losing a lot of people and having several relationships that ended up going shitty due to things like that.

"No. Not really." Talk like a responsible person??? Who does that? "Kind of in a roundabout way. But not deeply."
