( grandpa, NOBODY says shit like that! you talk like a vampire!!! ADMIT IT!!!
Steve startles. even though he's expecting the guy. how on earth did he end up BEHIND him? playing stage magician is not doing anything to calm a fella's nerves. Steve straightens, turns around. keeps his attention firmly on the fancy vampire man. like he has any hope of keeping track of a guy that can just appear, apparently. he opens his mouth to ask how the fuck that happened, but either decides he doesn't care, or that Lestat isn't the type to share with the class even if he did. so gives up before he gets that far. )
I don't think you're careless. I think you don't care. ( there's a difference! it's not an apparent ineptitude he's worried about. no, it's that there's no love lost between the two of them, even if they coexisted for about ten minutes to share a cigarette once. it puts him on edge. he's never done this before. it might have been nice to know the person doing the blood sucking had even a mild interest in him still breathing when they were done.
so, it should be no surprise that Steve does not seem particularly inclined to getting cozy first. being recently dead around something that is especially good at killing is harder on his state of mind than he thought it'd be. so his expression is incredulous. ) Are you serious? Why can't we just get it over with? ( he can stick his arm out for the chomping just fine while standing, thanks much! )
