004: [location: Stackhouse residence] & accidental [visual]

Sookie awakens with a gasp. It's not your mediocre strength 'just saw a really big spider' gasp either-- it's a full-on ragged intake of breath that rocks her entire body as she bolts upright in bed, clutching the sheets to her chest. For almost a full thirty seconds she looks around her room, at the moonlight filtering in through her window and believes she's at home again, in Bon Temps. It's only when she lifts a tremulous hand to her eye and finds it unbruised that she remembers where she is. Taxon. Of course. But if she's in Taxon, then...

"What the fuck was that?"

How about no? :D?

"What do you like about this place?" She genuinely is interested in his answer to this question, enough that she'll even put away her bitchface momentarily, to replace it with a look of curiosity. Anybody else, she'd just be able to pluck that information right out of their mind, but with Eric? She has to hear it straight from the... vampire's mouth.

"Serious situations like your personal finances." Yes, that tone is dry.

Why do you build me up, buttercup, just to let me down? 8(

"Well. I have my club and my car here, a multitude of interesting beings to enjoy, a sun that doesn't burn me to a crisp... Pam to help run things, and my favorite telepath." He says that with an appreciative shit-eating grin. But the last is said with such casualness, it's as if he considers it an afterthought. "Godric's presence is also something of a plus."

"Embezzlement is a very serious crime, Sookie." Yes, he can tell. Eric, on the other hand, has an appropriately serious face for the subject.

Sookie does not 'build' anything, tyvm. B(

She listens to his reasons, not passing comment on being his 'favorite', because it's a slightly worrying notion. At least the conversation is distracting her from thoughts of Bon Temps, however. Eric's casual-ness seems to be almost too casual, so she observes, indirectly: "I like Godric."

Serious face, eh? She'll echo that, though she's less than genuine. "All crime is serious, Eric."

Then Eric must be mistaking that brick house of hers. ;D

There's something tugging at a corner of his mouth, but it passes too quickly to really be considered a smile. "I know. You two were on good enough terms when you met him. Or will. Whatever tense." He shrugs it off because who gives a crap about grammar, really.

"True, but even more so when it directly affects me."
