"...Ah. Well, yes. I understand that totally. Obediah has often said how he would want nothing more than to return home to care for his mother, but that's not possible for him either. He helps with the running of the Society; does all the boring work behind the scenes that keeps it running smoothly. I'd be lost without him, actually. So yes, it's probably best you stay here and he returns with me-- though the invitation remains. If you ever find yourself eager for a little adventure in the big city, the door to the Sangruis Society is always open to you," he nodded with a faint smirk on his lips, tapping his fingers against the wood of the armchair he was sat in. He only invited in men to join the Society who a) were informed about the existence of vampires, and b) wanted to become one themselves, abandoning their old lives in the process. Inviting Forrest along without informing him of what the Society actually stood for amused him to no end, though he only extended the invite because he knew it would be rejected.
That wasn't to say he would retract it if Forrest did accept it - he hadn't lied when he said he found the man interesting. In fact, if anything, he was more drawn to him than he was to any human he had interacted with. With most humans, he got close to them if it benefited him in some way, whether that was financially or to settle his thirst. He had no reason to interact with Forrest when he planned to do nothing to him, yet here he was, unable to stay away from him. Sure, the other's blood was far more tempting to him than most humans' blood was, and it was becoming gradually more difficult to force back how tempting it would be to taste it for himself, but that fact also unnerved him a little. He had never been so drawn to a single person and their blood before - which only increased just how curious he was with Forrest. In fact, he didn't want to rush back to London without first determining just what it was about the other he felt so drawn in by.
"Now, will I get to meet the lucky woman that stole your heart tomorrow?" He asked to fill the silence he had left, pointing to the ring on his finger. "I'll try not to get jealous that she managed to snag such a handsome man-- do tell me if I'm making you uncomfortable, by the way. I saw your reaction to Padraig and Obediah - I'd hate to make you feel awkward like that when you're so generously allowing me to stay tonight. I'm many things, but I'm not disrespectful."
