"My... Double has agreed to leave the coven alone," he starts, slow and almost two casual. "Not that he's got much of a choice, but that makes Nicholas happier. I guess. He's hard to read."

It was hard to gauge how he felt. His tone was mostly steady, but his eyes never met the other vampire's, and his posture became more hunched and defensive as he spoke. "He wants her to become a vampire."
