[ he snorts at that. ] No idea.

But I don't pay much attention.

I don't think I could get by here by not paying attention.

You'd be surprised.

That's just not the kind of person I am.

Nah, wouldn't think so. You Petrellis are a nosy bunch. [ he says it with no small degree of affection. ]

I wasn't even raised a Petrelli, and I still managed to grow up with that gene. [ Not said unfondly, for how much trouble it's gotten her into, which leads her to... ] So, how much do you know about me, exactly?

[ that sure was a question. he took a second to think about it, followed by an almost audible shrug. ]

The basics? Dunno if you heard, but a few months back we all did something of a memory jam. Got a few of Peter's...and your dad's. Other than that, not much if I'm honest.

Peter mentioned something about it, but... [ She still doesn't want to talk about it. About Nathan. Even if she recognizes that actively facing the unpleasantness of that conversation is something that needs to be done. ] It's just strange, but I guess it shouldn't be. People have known things about me without me telling them for years. What do the basics consist of?

[ Part of her feels bad for grilling him so often, but she has to be sure. ]

You want to know if I know what your can do.

That answers that question.

You're one big superhero family, I get it. I'm a vampire, I'm not about to judge.

[ Wait, what? ]

Wait, what?

Yep. Surprise.

Come on. You're joking.

[ Years of surprises of this caliber and spaceships aside, vampires are still not something she has ever actually accepted as real. ]

If it is, there's no punchline.

You're immortal, right? It's not so different. [ except for how it's way different. ]

[ Yeah except for that one little thing. ]

Did you want to get turned into a vampire?

I didn't ask for it, if that's what you mean.

[ Sorry, Spike, she's sensitive. And burning with questions about this, considering there is a very real chance she's going to turn around in 500 years and be alone in the world with Sylar. ]

How long have you been a vampire?

Around about... A buck twenty, give or take.

[ he has a surprising amount of patience for interrogation. esp if it means she might eventually trust him 8( ]

[ She nods, and it's audible through the swish of hair against the mouthpiece. It's a short while before she says anything, and when she does her voice is surprisingly casual, a careful study. ]

I hate the thought of it.

Of vampires? [ no wait, he's picking up what she's dropping down... ] You mean living forever.

I've never really had to deal with the thought of vampires. [ She pauses for effect, stopping to consider, and to derail that train so that she doesn't have to discuss it any longer than necessary. ] I don't think they bother me too much.

Well, good. Cause you'll probably be seeing a decent amount of me from now on.

[ he'll leave it for now, even if she did bring it up... ]

I'm glad that Peter's managed to make friends despite the circumstances.

[ She will just be over here, continuing to be oblivious. ]

Your uncle's a friendly type, he does just fine.
