[There is a Sorin standing right in the middle of the Plane and staring up at the stars. He is wearing his default expression (AKA- "oh good god; why do these things keep happening to me?") but he isn't just standing there and looking grumpy, oh no- in one hand he holds two photos- one of a incredibly pretty blonde woman (the books words, not mine) and the other of a rather tough looking woman. In his other hand he clutches his note- it's quite crumpled as if it's been read quite a bit and dissected piece by piece (in a entirely mental way)]

[He keeps darting glances down from the stars between his note and the photos]

...Seeing the future would be a useful skill at the moment; then I'd know if his obsession would destroy him. Then I'd know what exactly the note actually means.

...Why can't the universe give me a fairly peaceful year?

[Because that wouldn't be any fun Sorin; especially when you're being all stalkery! Somebody could get creeped out by him.

...Well, it isn't like he's creeped out everybody already- of course not ~~creep~~]

Peaceful is overrated.

I'd still like to experience it once in a while; to compare it to the insanity that usually seems to occur [Sigh] another sensible relative around would also be rather nice.

Yeah? Unfortunately, life tends not to work that way. Life kinda sucks, when you think about it.

Mm, I suppose I cannot hope for too much- at least life is unkind to everybody; there's little point in complaining about it I suppose...

...Though after all this time at least one break would be nice.

[gazes at him a bit warily] Obsessions don't tend to end well for anyone.

[Wry smile] I've been telling my father that for many years- yet he still doesn't listen to me; it's really quite annoying.

[returns it, with a bit of sympathy] In my experience, you have to wait until they figure it out on their own. Usually involves hitting rock bottom. Then you help them dig up again.

I don't think that'll work with him I'm afraid; I love him but... He can be startlingly oblivious.

[faint, wistful smile] I hear you.

I hate to suggest this, but - if you ever help him with the consequences, try not to.

...Somebody has to take care of him.

Sometimes, the best way to do that is let them fall down.

I don't know what he'd do; it could be disastrous.

Hello, Sorin.

[He freezes for a second and then carefully starts edging his hands to put the photos away] ...Hello, Jonathan- having a nice day?

Yes.

[a smile]

You're not. Would you like to talk about it?

Good for you.

[His jaw tenses for a moment and then he forces himself to relax]

No, it's been a little stressful so far [Pause] I'm sure I can manage on my own though; thank you for the offer but I shan't require your assistance.

You seem a bit tense. Like you feel the need to lash out.

You can't help with that [Pause; his teeth faintly gritted- always fighting against snapping] I don't like you but I certainly don't hate you enough to try and kill you; I can manage on my own.

You don't like me? I must ask why.

Can't I dislike you without giving endless reasons?

...You gloat.

[there is something VERY wrong with this laugh]

Oh, I have never truly gloated around you before. When you hear that, you'll know it.

Or perhaps you won't. Tell me: are vampires very much different from humans biologically?

[Sorin notices and his eyes narrow]

Another thing I don't like about you: I think you're holding something back.

You seem very confident in yourself... Not really I suppose: we're a fair bit stronger, a lot faster and can recover from most wounds not inflicted by a special substance- but otherwise we keep the same body; just upgraded.
