"My ego'd like to think the latter, but for your sake I hope it's one of those things you can learn to control. Flash freezing your bedroom probably wouldn't end too well." He had to smirk at the thought. Zero to Wintry Wonderland in the space of time it took her to have an orgasm. That would surprise someone. Hell, it'd surprised him, but he was far better at taking these kinds of things in stride.
The smirk fades to a bit of a soft smile as she mulls over the name that used to be. It isn't completely accurate, as he doesn't tend to think about what Eric could have been; he thinks about what Eric was. But he doesn't want to talk about those dark days. That kid had been a monster, and he had never been able to decide if he was worse than the vampires or not. That kid had been like a baby rattler - all of the poison and none of the control of the adults. Baby rattlers would bite several times in self defense instead of just one controlled burst, and he had run around killing who the fuck-ever because he was just one big ball of instinct to feed. So the kid had caused more damage, once upon a time, but vampires did it more knowingly. He guessed it was a tossup as to which was worse.
"You're welcome." She was allowed to romanticize the potential, though. Nothing wrong with that. He never could, but that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy seeing the situation through her eyes from time to time.
((Is your PB the same as the actress in the new Clint Eastwood movie coming out? I saw a preview for that and was like "I THINK I KNOW HER!" But I want to make sure...))
