I can only imagine.

I believe the Down has it a little easier. But even still - have you other means of getting around? There are residents in the city who may be able to help - teleporters, mages...

[ If there was anything she needed. How does one ask a vampire about their specfic preferences re: feeding? ]

In the Down, there are means of travel that make it slightly easier to move undetected, but I've been making efforts to try and not raise any official suspicion.

That said, I imagine being cooped up for a long period of time won't necessarily help my unique situation when it comes to requiring a particular diet.

Do you have anyone to assist you with your dietary requirements?

I'm not going to presume that you're offering yourself, but... are you, Ororo?

I am if you need me, Vanessa. You shouldn't go without what you require. And it is not as if we haven't done it before.

If you have other means, however, I wouldn't keep you from them.

As I'm sure you can understand, my options at the moment are limited, due to the new restrictions that are intent on keeping me largely indoors.

That said, I would always welcome you into my home, regardless, and certainly not strictly for any satisfaction of hunger.

Satisfaction of other kinds is permissible, then?

I should visit with you more often. I find myself slipping into old habits of neglecting friends while busying myself with other matters. My apologies for that.

But - yes. Whenever you are in need, let me know. There are many ways to get between the Up and the Down despite the new restrictions.

Of course. I never want to presume anything in particular will occur, but I won't deny my gratitude for whatever you choose to share with me of your own volition.

I suppose the passage of time is a different construct for me these days, given my attachment to immortality. All that is to say that you need not worry about any great length passing between our meetings. I have forever ahead of me now.

How would you feel about visiting tomorrow night?

Forever is certainly a concept, isn't it?

But I'll be there, Vanessa. The same place as last time?

And if you happen to miss anything from up here, I'll be happy to bring you something you might want or need.

At one time it might have been more daunting. In some ways it still is, especially when I was only ever in possession of the opposite before.

Same as last.

Is it too cliched of me to only request you bring yourself?

Immortality can be daunting. The endlessness of it can make what life you have feel shapeless. Unless you find reason or purpose.

Though it seems to me that you have no trouble with that.

And it is very cliché to request that, yes. But I am quite fond of you, so it fortunately cancels out. I'll simply come over as I am, if that is all.

To a point, I believed I had already fulfilled what I was meant to in my mortal existence. Served the role that I was destined to play. Now, the future is determined by however long I am intended to remain here.

You're kind enough to not hold such poor or unimaginative sentiment against me, but truly, Ororo, the best thing you could bring to me is your presence, which I am grateful to have bestowed on me for any duration.
