[He makes a sympathetic hum of sound at that, his palm stroking along her side in slow movements as they discuss.]

I'll have to make sure you're well attended-to while I am here. I would hate to leave ma belle neglected.

[Which is something he will need to cognizant of, he realizes. Making sure he is attentive to Rip when he is with her, and doing the same for Louis. Looking after them both so that neither feels as though they are being abandoned or rejected for the other.

That second bit gives him a slight pause, since he imagines that that could easily turn into a fight between Rip and Louis if it comes to pass. But then again, if he does go into a coma, it's not exactly like he'll be able to do anything about it.]

You always have taken most excellent care of me when I have fallen into a long sleep in this place. I've always been most grateful for it.

[singinghuntress]

You better not.

[She huffs softly before resting her head back against his shoulder and allowing herself to relax a little. Rip still does not like this new arrangement and already feels slightly agitated over having to be on her own half the month while he's off with someone else.

His acknowledgement on how well she takes care of him during those times do help to partially put her at ease. Besides if it came down to a fight, Rip is confidant she could win. There weren't many vampires trained as soldiers or even snipers that she's aware of so...in her mind, she has the advantage. even if she IS retired]

I'm glad because I do not intend on stopping vhen it comes to taking care of you vhen zhings like zhat happen.

[unwillingdevil]

I won't. And besides, why on earth would I wish to leave you ill-attended when I find looking after you so pleasurable?

[He's teasing, but there is a real well of affection in his voice. Lestat means what he says, and not just in terms of sex. All of this is an adjustment, but he intends to be diligent when he is with her, making it clear that she remains a priority.]

Yet another thing I appreciate from your care. I doubt many could get past you when you're on guard.

[singinghuntress]

[There might be the slight quirk of a smile starting on her lips when she catches the affection in his voice. That seems to be the key to Rip finally, fully relaxing against him as she brings his hand to her mouth so she can playfully nip at his wrist.]

Perhaps you need to remind me just how pleasurable looking after me iz.

[He's also right. When Rip puts her mind to it to guard someone, nothing stops her short of her own death.]

You're right. Nozhing stops me from protecting zomeone important to me.

[unwillingdevil]

[Lestat smiles, at both the way Rip relaxes and the easy declaration of his importance to her. He lets her nip at his wrist with a low growl, his free hand reaching around to glide slowly down the front of her chest.]

Perhaps I do. I wonder how best I should do so, mon cher?

[Running his thumb along the swell of one breast, he murmurs:]

After all, I should reward such a loyal guardian.

[singinghuntress]

[She can't help the little shudder that races down her spine at the sound of his growl. It appeals to her on such an instinctive level that she can't help bit nip a little harder at his wrist. A tease of her fangs and nothing more...for now.]

I zhink you can figure zomething out.

[SHe lays her head back against his shoulder, tilting it just slightly to bare her neck to him as he teases the swell of her breast.]

Vatever revard you zhink is vorthy of my loyalty vill be perfect~.
