*Well, well, look who decided to grace us with their presence. I was starting to think the sun had finally fried your brain. If you’re here for a drink, I suggest something strong. We’ve got a lot to discuss, and I don't want you passing out halfway through.

Let’s be real: the vampire world is getting messier by the day, and if we don’t play our cards right, we’ll end up as dinner for some hungry werewolf. Honestly, if I have to deal with one more human asking about our ‘lifestyle choices,’ I might just start tearing throats out for fun.

And don’t get me started on the Authority. They think they can dictate how we live, how we feed. Please. I’ve been around long enough to know that survival isn’t about following rules; it’s about bending them to your advantage. So, let’s make a pact: you watch my back, and I’ll watch yours.

Oh, and if anyone gives you trouble, just remember: I have a special talent for making problems… disappear. Consider that a friendly warning. Now, what’s it going to be? A drink or another round of pointless chatter? Because I’m in the mood for some chaos, and I’d love for you to join me.*"
