My, and what a claim. I'd love to hear that story.
[His brows raise at the concept of "pirates," and then further once he considers they would probably have been some sort of cookie pirates, which is just fascinating in and of itself. It's hard not to envision Sparkling's life as having been like living inside of a children's book; pure and innocent, full of adventure, but where no true harm could come to the heroes of the story or the citizens of the kingdom... Then again, he doesn't know much. There's a very good chance he could be completely wrong! He just hopes that one day Sparkling would feel comfortable enough to regale him of more tales from his life back home, but not at the expense of dredging up more unpleasant thoughts.]
Oh, think nothing of it, it's just... the truth. I like you, even if I don't know all of you, yet. I just appreciate you giving me the chance to get to.
[He watches the young vampire with a warm smile, hoping the sincerity would read more evidently than the sadness lining his eyes. This has been... a hard conversation for him, but one he likes to think he's navigating well enough. The gratitude vastly outweighs the anxiety now, at least, since it does seem to be going better than before, but... he can't help but worry that one day soon, that disappointment will come and undo all this trust he's been so graciously given. Surely it's only a matter of time.
No-- don't think like that. He can be good. It will all be fine.]
I'm-- no, no, don't worry. Really, I'm glad you said something. I... had been thinking about you for the last few days, so I'm glad to hear from you at all, especially after all that, you know?
