There are people here worth protecting. I hope not from you.
[ Fear might not be the right word. Sharkface doesn't particularly care what Godric might do to him, but he can't die yet. There's work he needs to finish back home. But there are others among the Displaced that he's started to care for, and they deserve to live with as little pain as possible. ]
So long as I am possessed of my own mind, I pose no threat to the good people here.
However, should I become compromised by this place, I would likely become a threat far beyond what most are accustomed to. I have given your friend Mr. Belmont leave to kill me should such a thing come to pass.
I cannot speak to what silver does to others not of my world, but it restrains me, and burns badly.
I also cannot enter a domicile without the permission of those that dwell there, should you need a haven from me.
[ That's a hell of a thing to say to anyone. And the phrasing is telling. So long as I am possessed of my own mind. Sharkface doesn't respond immediately, turning that over in his head. Of course vampires go insane. They're not human, but they're close enough. Might even suffer some of the same damage. They certainly mirror the cruelties that humans rain down on each other. And it looks like Godric's accepted the possibility that it might come. Madness, insanity, whatever you want to call it. He already died once. The possibility of doing it again doesn't seem to phase him, either. ]
I'll remember.
[ Information is power, as the sergeant used to say. The trick is knowing how to use it properly. He's not sure what he's meant to do with this. Not yet, anyway. ]
I can get you that blood. Won't take me long.
[ Probably. It's been a while since he's tried robbing someone. ]

Do you intend to move against the young one?
no subject
Not on my own. But I'll back the others if they go after her.
[ Honesty again. It feels better than telling a lie, even one that might smooth the edges down. ]
no subject
Who else have you informed of me?
no subject
[ It's reasonable. More so than he was expecting. ]
Only two people know. Trevor and the woman who was bitten. It seemed relevant.
[ He hopes he hasn't put targets on their back. ]
no subject
She is welcome to reach out to me if she wishes to know more about my kind. I hope she was not too badly injured.
no subject
She's strong. She'll be fine.
[ That's what people like them do. They shake it off. ]
no subject
She should not be at risk of turning, if that was a concern you fostered.
no subject
[ They would have dealt with it. You don't leave people behind. No matter what happens to them.
A few minutes later: ]
Thank you.
