[ the smile on his face... it's not entirely new to her. she's seen smiles like that plenty of times, after all, in the city's long nights. but it's a pleasant smile, and a warm one, and one she had some small hand in making - and making honestly, at that. no need to hide herself. no need to stay quiet for a secret that's long spread.

her own grin is lazier than his, but no less genuine for it. she's happy to be here in this moment. ]

One of these? My, so bold! [ but her teasing holds no real weight behind it, no real assumptions of intent one way or the other. if he wants to share tea and drink, they can share those; if it's other things he's looking for, they can figure that out when they come to it. ] ...most people wouldn't trust a bloodsucker, you know. If you're willing to offer that, guess the least I can do is to return it, right?

[ is he- teasing her, repeating her name like that? she honestly can't tell. either he's teasing her with a smile on his face, or he genuinely likes the way she's called his name so far tonight, and either way it's a bit endearing. she chuckles, shaking her head with a fanged grin. ]

That means yeah, if it wasn't clear. I don't mind one bit.
