[He will prepare a knife or two... But he'll still be up in his room working on all of this, so whenever Dave shows up at the door, it'll still take Guren time to walk down and answer it.]
[ When Guren answers the door, there’s none of the life in his eyes he had when he came to spar, or even when he was talking about repairing houses and ignoring furniture. He’s exhausted around the eyes in a way he can’t hide, even if everything else about him seems the same, relatively.
He gestures inside, and Dave is free to enter. He’s set two knives on the kitchen table. The whole house is pretty hideous— hot pink patterned wallpaper that only stops when you get to the light green kitchen. ]
I pulled out a couple, just in case. You can take one or both, I don’t care. Let me know if those don’t work.
[ dave's just going to be lifting them up one by one and testing balance / gauging length as he tries to determine which would be best for emma. he's competent about it in the way that a kid who has been around blades 24/7 since birth is. ]
I'm actually not shocked you're a walkin' armory - thanks. Also, wow. This wallpaper?
Haha. Normally I just have the one blade. I killed some harpies, and I came back to a whole pile of them.
[And then he was gifted a second pile of knives. Knives everywhere! As for the wallpaper, Guren takes another look at it, one hand on his hip. He's tired, he's blaming himself for everything, but he still has time to find this ugly.]
Don't talk about it. It's enough of a headache just living with it.
I'd make some wry comment about how we always need more of those but no one here seems prone to murdering other people so it actually should maybe be okay?
Maybe. I haven't spoken to anyone else who's done it, but it could be the violent way my group handled it, too.
[Hmm, they sure slaughtered way too many harpies. He slides his hands into his pockets.]
Anyway, that could change at any time, so don't get too comfortable. [Most people here are good people, but he's met at least one he's not sure about. And... then there's people like him, who are dangerous without telling anyone a thing. If he flipped and lost control, it would be a disaster.]
[That's a horrible thing to say? Guren's answer is to give him a flat look before he brings his fist down lightly on Dave's head— it's not a hit, nothing close. It's a light weight, a thump.]
That's for sounding like you're eighty when you've got that baby face.
[Live and be comfortable!! It's possible, he believes in it. Even if he... is incredibly tired himself and thinking no better from time to time, he still wants Dave to take care of himself.]
Thanks again for agreeing to teach Emma. She's a good kid.
No way. Most vampires are older than you, and I don't hear them saying things like that.
[Well. Some of them do, but he's ignoring them for his point. He's good with the Emma stuff, though, which he indicates with a nod. She definitely is eager... He thinks it's a good match.]
[He's so offended at that question, even if he knows Dave can't know any better.] I'm human. I fight vampires, for the most part, since I don't wanna get killed.
I feel like a requirement for being a god should be knowing that you're a god.
[Or at least having the confidence? Goodness. He can't even be surprised, based on what Dave has told him about what he can do. But... he's tired, and as much as he's glad to see Dave and how he's doing, he has to go back to overworking himself.]
Is there anything else you think you need while you're here? I have to get back to work.

And no problem about Emma. She seems pretty eager to learn, so it shouldn't be that hard to teach her, you know?
