Darla and Vampire in “The Trial”

Ah, how long have you been...

Oh, an eternal child of the darkness? Since, ah...'92.

19 - 92?

[chuckling] I know. It's hard to believe it's already the last century.

And in all this time you've never considered making yourself a mate?

How do you mean?

Well, isn't it true that some vampires choose a mortal, someone they can sire, someone who, too, can walk those lonely nights, hunting with them, feeding with them, joining with them?

No! That'd just be weird.

Weird? It's mythic!

[shakes his finger at her] No, you been reading too much Anne Rice lately! You've got no idea how this thing works!

Then teach me.

Oh, what, you want me to make you?

Why do you think I came into this bar, for the snacks?

Sweetheart, in this bar, you are the snacks.

[smiles] I live nearby. We can go back to my place, you can do it there.

Y-you're serious about this. [Darla nods slightly] So what? I make you and then you'd be like my immortal babe?

Yes.

Ah, well, that kind of sounds like commitment to me.

Then use me for as long as you like, anyway you like, then discard me. No strings.

There is an alley out back.
