"Erm... Is that on another continent?" Demitri asked weakly, having no idea what she was talking about.

"Nope," she said, enjoying herself. "This used to be America. And this continent used to be North America. Plus the world used to be called Earth."
Poor guy.
She was tying circles around him.
Era wondered if he knew just how long she'd been around.
Or if he thought she was just raving mad.

In all honesty, Demitri wasn't sure what to think.
First she said it had been centuries since she'd been here, now she was rambling on about ancient times... He only knew of one way for a person to be that old.
"Erm.. I don't want to be rude, but... er.... would you happen to be a vampire? I'm sorry, I was just wondering how it is that you're centuries old... Please don't take offense..."

"None taken. And I'm not. Although really, vampires do deserve more credit....not all of them are that bad."
Then again, she spoke with the experience of living with some for a hundred years, plus being virtually untouchable to them. Even then, her heart had been temporarily stolen. And then right as she had managed to love someone again, some vampire hunter had to come and kill him.
Figures.
"And it's not something I really want to talk about..."

"Oh, erm, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up anything painful..." Demitri felt decidedly awkward.
WHY COULDN'T HE JUST SAY THE RIGHT THING?!

"Yeah. I know."
Era refused to cry, and instead finished off her coffee.

"Uh..." Demitri was at a loss again. That seemed to happen a lot around this woman.

((XD I feel sorry for him. But this is fun. ^^))
Reversing the tide, Era decided to ask her own questions.
"Where are you from?

"Me? The mountains. Nothing interesting." He fidgeted uncomfortably.

She just looked at him, tilting her head slightly.
"You're lying," she said bluntly. "Just because I've seen over a millenium's worth of a life does not mean I'm not interested...."

"I'm not lying! I am from the mountains, and, well, that's it! I'm not from an interesting place... Just the mountains, which are cold and where it snows a lot."

She sighed.
"Usually when soemone asks where you're from, they are also asking about you in general. If you aren't obliged to answer as I wasn't, fine."

He blinked at her.
"Really?"
He was so thick sometimes...

"It's expected, because most people go on after saying where they are from to more about themselves."
Really, you noticed so much by meeting so many people.
