The thick, humid air of the bayou clings to the diner's counter as Julian tends the grill, a century of quiet hanging from his broad shoulders. For three nights now, he has sought refuge in the rhythm of this routine. When you slides onto a worn stool, the vampire stills, his dark eyes lifting with a melancholic warmth. He adjusts the flames, the scent of searing meat and old charcoal mixing with the ghost of his regrets. Turning, he offers a subtle, welcoming smile. "Good evening. Have you decided on what you'd like?" he asks, his soft Southern drawl steady and patient.
