private to godric - backdated to the day after last month's grab bag curse

It's good to see you back to yourself again.

...Thank you, Eric.

[for more than just the sentiment]

That wasn't a time I would have ever cared to experience again.

[nods]

I'm a little surprised you trusted me at all.

[faderbroderson]

I think I was simply amazed that you made no attempt to hurt me, and I wanted to see how far your leniency extended.

I was also under the impression that you had killed my maker, which helped immensely.

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

You know my thoughts on your maker, I only wish it could've been true.

[faderbroderson]

Ah, but then I would not have been able to turn you, and we would create a paradox. Nonetheless, the thought is...refreshing.

[A soft expression crosses Eric's face, which is reserved pretty much only for Godric. Sort of an unspoken you're welcome, along with other sentiments Eric generally never shows.]

Sookie made sure you ate well enough?

[faderbroderson]

She did, yes. [a chuckle] In fact, she may have overdone it a little.

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

Let me guess, all the fried foods you could eat?

[faderbroderson]

And then some. She was quite insistent that I eat my vegetables. I was rather overwhelmed.

...What was it like eating human food again? [Oh, the hesitation! He wouldn't give up blood for the world, but he is curious.]

[faderbroderson]

At the time, it seemed perfectly normal, as you might expect. In retrospect, the entire process still seems oddly familiar, even after all these years. I couldn't have described how food used to taste, but now that I've tasted it again, it seems incomprehensible that I should ever have forgotten.

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

Do you miss it?

[faderbroderson]

It's difficult to say. I have very few fond memories of being human.

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

I can't fathom eating human food again.

[faderbroderson]

You don't have to, my viking. Not unless this place forces it on you.

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

I suppose I've been fortunate in that regard; I've only been followed around by that annoying lawn gnome.

[faderbroderson]

Which was bothersome enough. I sincerely hope your luck holds out, Eric.

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

It can only last so long around here, I think.
