-- again.

He wondered how many nights it would take to find Daniel this time, and with a small amount of horror, he decided he was excited to find out.

-- this entire situation die with this stranger, but his own words echoed dimly inside his head. It would be a pity for this game to end so soon.

Sunrise was not far off now. Armand would need to find somewhere to rest, and then when night fell once more, he would do this all over --
November 29, 2025 at 10:47 AM
-- And by the time he'd collected himself again, Daniel was already gone.

Strange boy. Curious boy. Feeling unsettled, Armand silently directed the cab driver to take him out of the city, to find somewhere empty and quiet for him to leave his bloodless corpse. He had the briefest idea to let --

-- satisfaction in the obvious understanding that this next one could still be his last.

He expected Daniel to bolt off immediately, but it seemed the boy was still determined to be as unpredictable as possible. A flash of surprise crossed Armand's face as Daniel paused to...bid him farewell? --
November 29, 2025 at 10:47 AM
An amused smirk crept onto Armand's face as he watched Daniel scramble to exit the vehicle, the cartoonish flailing of his limbs feeling like a fitting end to this already bizarre car ride. Daniel would live to see another sunrise, and it was clear that he was grateful, but Armand still took --

One more long, studying look was directed Daniel's way before Armand cast his gaze forward. They were nearing their destination now. Only a few minutes left. He wondered idly if Daniel's --

-- and beg for mercy if he was cowardly enough, and though Daniel was most definitely frightened, he wasn't a coward.

As with most things about this boy, Armand wasn't sure how he felt about that. It was as intriguing as it was infuriating, but the sheer boldness of Daniel's answer --
November 21, 2025 at 8:04 AM
There was something to be said about the boy's seemingly endless bravery, Armand thought. And that's exactly what it was—𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺—not stupidity, like Armand had believed originally, at least...not entirely. Was it wise to challenge a monster? No. Of course not. But even a fool would duck his head --

Blinking finally, Armand gave Daniel a slow, appraising once-over.

-- Would he believe there was no true danger? Would Armand have to kill him just to prove a point?

What an unsatisfying thought.

In silence, Armand finished his cigarette and flicked the end out of the window, all while watching Daniel with an intense, unblinking gaze.

𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘴. --
November 7, 2025 at 10:18 AM
-- let him think this conversation had altered his chances of survival. That was good.

The question, though... It was a valid thing to ask, considering the circumstances, but it gave Armand pause. If Daniel felt special, would a sense of safety not follow? Would he feel untouchable? --
November 7, 2025 at 10:18 AM
Though Daniel had never truly settled at any point during this car ride, the sound of his pulse quickening further instilled a sense of relief in Armand. Letting the boy grow too comfortable would be foolish, and to hear his terror so clear and loud was a sign that Armand had not misstepped and --
November 7, 2025 at 10:18 AM

𝘋𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦? Armand thought in reply, slipping his words into Daniel's mind with ease. 𝘋𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭?

-- continuation of their conversation. A fascinating attempt at communicating with a monster in its own language.

A flash of irrational anger washed over Armand before it was swept away by another slow drag from his cigarette. What was there to be angry about? He'd --

-- of fear.

Yet another bullet point to add to the long list of things about this boy that puzzled Armand. His behaviour was so curious. Bold despite the terror still prickling over his skin and tainting the scent of his blood.

That boldness ran deep, as was quickly --
November 1, 2025 at 9:56 AM
The expletive surprised Armand enough to have him turning to blink at Daniel with wide eyes, not because he was unfamiliar with or unsettled by such language, but because he hadn't expected the boy to be so casual with his speech, especially when he followed it up with an admission --
November 1, 2025 at 9:56 AM
-- "Does it frighten you? The things I can do? Knowing what it is you are trying to outrun?"
October 18, 2025 at 8:46 AM
-- vampiric gifts.

"I can also fly," Armand answered, perfectly nonchalant as he flicked the ash from his cigarette out of the window. He'd already shown the boy this much, why not be honest? It would change nothing. --
October 18, 2025 at 8:46 AM
Turning back towards Daniel, Armand once more eyed the boy with clear curiosity. Maybe this was what Louis had liked about him. He was so easy to impress. Filled with the giddy sort of excitement that their kind often lacked. Such a human perspective, this enthusiasm for such simple --
October 18, 2025 at 8:46 AM
-- his eyes zeroing in on the cigarette between Daniel's lips. The end began to smoulder in an instant, and Armand smirked as he turned away to exhale out of the window again, every inch of him radiating a smug sense of satisfaction.
