[ He feels slightly anxious when Louis doesn't respond straight away. Maybe there was a lot to tell and he needed some time to put it into words. As he waits for the reply Thomas wonders if they should talk about it in person. ]

I have yet to come across someone by that name, but thank you for the warning. May I ask why he is so dangerous?

[boude]

We're from the same place, he and I. We were [ How to put this... ] entangled. And he has trouble letting go.

He's also a vampire. The one who made me.

[notfoul]

[ 'Entangled' suggests that they were heavily involved. ]

While I don't know a lot about vampires, I can assume that there is a strong bond between a maker and the one they made.

What shall I do if I encounter him unexpectedly? Does he know you have a contract?

[boude]

He doesn't know. If you meet him, don't get too close – and avoid talking about me if you can. He needs to know as little about you as possible.

He can be very charming.

[notfoul]

Right. I'll be sure to remember those things if I come across him. And I can always just make some excuse and leave. Resist any of his charms.

He won't hurt you, will he?

[boude]

I won't let him.

[ Not quite the answer Louis wants to give, but it's the only answer that feels comfortable right now. ]

Will you tell me if you meet him?

You don't have to give me the details. I'd just feel better knowing.

[notfoul]

I promise I will tell you, Louis.

If any of the details are important or relevant, I'll also let you know.

[boude]

Thank you, Thomas. It means a lot.

[notfoul]

Of course. I want us to be honest with eachother.

And I don't want anything to happen to you.
