[And yet something still tells Henry that a “weaker” vampire is still one that transcends the capabilities of a human. That alone is something to covet, not something to scoff at — disdain for immorality or otherwise, another facet of power (or the potential for it) that he will never understand a distaste for.
Strange, how someone can stand so… ill-at-ease with their own abilities like this Louis seems to be. And yet Henry remembers clearly their fight with the Bone Serpent, how the man had bitten and torn and found himself with a mouthful of monster blood. He seems to embrace them with necessary, at least, so it’s not as though it’s an impossible line to cross.]
No. Not just anyone would deserve immortality.
[An agreement with the inverse meaning, at least as Henry speaks it.
He thinks of asking him what he finds so enticing about his humanity that he’d cling to it so steadfast, but the question comes, and he chooses to focus on that, instead. He runs a hand through his hair, an idle gesture; the concoction given to him for “healing” has not only made him nauseous, it’s made him woozy.]
Abraxan magic? No. [He was too new at first; and then he was too kidnapped and thrown into a pit. No chance quite yet.] I haven’t decided if it appeals to me yet.
[(Will it grant him more power, in the end? Then spoiler: it will appeal to Henry eventually.)]
