[He's on the phone with Pam, while he's flying to see the queen of Louisiana.]

--And I want you to keep an eye on a couple of vampires for me. You know the ones. They've gotten overexcited on multiple occasions and I won't have them damaging anymore of the human patrons. The cleanup alone isn't worth it. If they give you any trouble, you have my permission to correct that mistake as you see fit.

[There's static on the other end.]

Pam? [More static.]

[He notices the environment isn't New Orleans and he lands immediately. Nope definitely not New Orleans.]

Well. This is interesting.

[Eric steps up to her with his hands in his pockets.]

I wouldn't use Godric's death as some cheap ploy to lure you to me.

[ 'I don't think there's a whole lot you won't do' hovers on the end of her tongue, but Sookie swallows it back. Even if she doesn't like Eric-- even if she doesn't trust him-- he wouldn't lie about this. ]

I know you wouldn't. Is he-- I mean, if you don't mind me askin', what...

[ she trails off, biting her lip. 'How did your maker die' is just too indelicate a question, almost cruel. ]

Godric wanted to die. He let the sunlight burn him. [He says this softly but in a matter-of-fact way that only barely hides what he feels about that.]

But he--

[ she wants to ask why, how, what happened. instead eric gets a rush of sympathy through the bond and a small hand, resting lightly on his arm. ]

I'm so sorry, Eric.

[His eyes meet hers and he clearly appreciates the sentiment.]

Thank you.

[ if this were tara or even jason, sookie would have some idea how to proceed. as it is,she stares down at the hand on his arm as if wondering who it belongs to, pats him awkwardly once then snatches it away. ]

Well.

...You should probably find a place to stay, where it'll be safe during the day. Underground might be best.

[He watches her snatch her arm away.]

I've survived this long, Sookie, I'll be fine. [It wasn't meant to be sarcastic at all, just a statement of fact.]

[ eric's not part of her circle of easy physical comfort. he can deal with being treated like he's a hot stove. ]

I'm not sayin' you can't. I'm just tryin' to help.

Then where exactly in the Underground do you suggest I take my rest?

I've never been, but I'm sure they got somethin' you can stay in to keep away from the sun. Everything else is apartments, and unless you wanna sleep in a closet I'd try Underground.

[ she doesn't care if you burn to a crisp, eric, it's called manners. don't read anything into it. ]
