The Devil's Nest [Thursday Evening]

[texted3times]

Eric was opening the club tonight, a move that kind of shocked the DJ when he arrived five minutes late.

After being assured Eric wouldn't eat him this time, the DJ promised to play whatever Eric wanted.

Turned out the DJ didn't have ancient Norse ballads.

The new DJ would be there tomorrow. Tonight you were subjected to the contents of Eric's iPod.

There were plenty of ancient Norse ballads on that.

"Wait, does 'getting dinner' mean ––"

Kate cut Lionel's question short. "Yes." She was raising her eyebrows at Eric. "That sounds potentially huge. Not the getting dinner thing. The him being here thing. That one."

"It's unexpected," Eric replied. "He met the dawn several years ago."

"Yeah, this is all unexpected." Pointed look at Lionel, there. "Still, that sounds like it'd be pretty big. How are you taking that?"

Kate was never going to stop trying to get feelings out of people. Even ones she really knew better about.

Eric shrugged. "We don't have emotions the way you humans comprehend them."

In other words, Eric was dodging.

"That... sounds like a fancy way of saying 'you wouldn't understand'," Kate remarked. "Or even a 'you'll get it when you're older'."

"It does kind of sound like a bullshit answer," Lionel agreed.

Kate shrugged. "But, I know you could snap me like a twig if I got on your nerves so I'm not gonna push."

"Making you a magnitude smarter than most humans I've encountered," Eric said. "There's a thousand years of history between us. 'It's complicated' doesn't come close to explaining things."
