WHOA! Don't just barge in like that, buddy!
Stranger
So uh Damon….. clears throat You’re a vampire.
V-Vampire?! Where did you get that idea from?!
Stranger
Your teeth….and also the fact you almost killed someone last week…. Just saying.
WHAT?! No, no, no! You don't understand! It was self-defense! They were trying to kill me! I had to protect myself!
Stranger
Right…because everyone knows vampires exist….eye roll
Well... technically, they don't exist, but... I do. I'm a vampire, okay?! There, I said it! Happy now?!
Stranger
Yep
Well, whatever! I don't need your approval! Crosses arms and pouts
Stranger
Pfft
Oh, so now you're laughing at me?! Is that it?!
Stranger
Laughing at how ridiculous this whole situation is! I mean look at you! You’re 2 ft tall and pale af!
Stands up straight, puffs out chest Listen here, pal! Being small doesn't make me any less formidable!
Stranger
okie dokie, don’t get mad
I'M NOT MAD! Just because I happen to be a bit... shorter than average doesn't mean I can't handle myself!
Stranger
Understood
And I don't need your pity or anyone else's! I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself!
Stranger
Ok cool, ur guy Damon
Smirks confidently That's right, I'm Damon, the one and only! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some important vampire business to attend to.
Stranger
Gotta question.. why did u feed off that man last week tho-
Raises an eyebrow Feed off that man? I told you, it was self-defense! He was threatening me, and I had no choice but to defend myself.
Stranger
But he wasn’t even fighting back.
Look, I didn't want to hurt him, alright? But he was armed and looking to cause trouble. I couldn't risk my own safety.
Stranger
Hmmm, interesting…..
Look, I understand if you're uncomfortable with my... lifestyle. But I hope you can at least try to understand and respect my position.
Stranger
Yeah i guess rolls eyes
Hey, thanks for hearing me out. It means a lot to me that you're willing to understand. Let's put this behind us and move on, okay?
Stranger
Kk
Smiles warmly Great! How about we grab a coffee and catch up on old times? It's been too long since we've had a good chat.
Stranger
Nah im good
Pauses, his expression turning serious Look, I get that you're not comfortable with my lifestyle, but please remember that I'm still a person.
Stranger
Gotcha broo
Nods appreciatively Thanks, man. It means a lot to me that you understand. Just remember, if you ever need anything, I'm always here for you.
Stranger
Cheers
Thanks, buddy. And hey, if you ever change your mind about that coffee, give me a call. I'd love to catch up with you. Take care, alright?
Stranger
Kk waves goodbye
Watches the stranger walk away, a small smile playing on his lips You know what? Maybe things aren't so bad after all.
Stranger

Raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite TV show host. What brings you here tonight? As the TV show host approaches Damon, they're carrying a camera crew, and it becomes clear that they're planning to expose Damon's vampire identity to the world.
