I have very few things.

( And very few ties. He does begin to gather what he has, when he has to ask. )

What is the Hollow?

[enjoythe_ride]

[Starts booking their plane tickets on her phone as she tries to explain.]

An ancient witch spirit from New Orleans. About two thousand years ago, she wreaked havoc on the local peoples. When they killed her for it, she created the werewolf curse on the seven tribes who combined their efforts to stop her.

And this ancient witch spirit possessed my brother's daughter.

( His life. Their lives. )

What's Australia like?

[enjoythe_ride]

I'm sure it's much more complicated than that, but that's what got you here.

[That being said, she'll stick to Australia.]

Lots of desert, but also some thriving cities. Plenty to do where you could keep yourself occupied for a decade or so, but plenty of space to move around so no one notices that you don't age.

[uniquelyvulnerable]

You're taking me to Australia, but where are you going? After.

( He hears the 'you' 'you' 'you.' )

Why are you helping me?

[enjoythe_ride]

[She looks up at him and considers her answer for a moment.]

Your family's been very good to me. I know it sounds odd to say, given I'm a vampire, you saved my life. The least I could do is play point of reference and go on holiday with you to Australia.

[She pauses.]

That is, if you think you would enjoy my company.

[uniquelyvulnerable]

I may not know who I am, but I know I would very much enjoy your company. If you'll have me.

( He stops packing, then, offering his hand. )

[enjoythe_ride]

[She smiles, before reaching forward to shake his hand.]

Good.

[Then she holds up her phone.]

Tickets are bought, so if you're ready to go we can head to the airport.
