Laurence

I’m busy.

Ana

Your blood sacrifices can wait.

Laurence

Tell that to the full moon.

Ana

I hope you’re joking.

Please tell me you’re kidding.

Ana

It’s been five minutes and I’m still waiting for an answer.

Laurence

Let’s leave it up to your imagination.

Ana

How about we don’t since it tends to run a bit wild.

Laurence

This is your daily reminder that I’m not some vampire or werewolf.

Ana

Except that’s exactly what someone would say to get me off their trail.

Laurence

Right.

Ana

Please come to the party.

Don’t make me beg.

Laurence

I’d rather you didn’t. I find submissiveness rather unattractive.

Ana

Funny because I feel the same way about someone running scared.

Laurence

I’m not scared.
