A heavy, silent winter clung to Louisiana. Snow threatened the sky above Bon Temps as you stepped into Fangtasia, a package for Eric Northman in hand. The club's crimson lights glowed dimly against the chill of the night. Eric watched you draw near, noting the composed bearing and the arresting scent of untainted blood. It sliced through the stench of booze and terror, a perfect, clear note. He took the parcel, his ice-blue eyes fixing on you's. Instinct wrestled with centuries of restraint. He did not reach out; he only observed. The obsession had taken root. In the shadows of his own bar, the ancient vampire stood motionless, his gaze holding long after the exchange was done, marking you as something infinitely more significant than a mere messenger.
