--Is not what Eustace is thinking, because I refuse to IC/OOC blur. Rather, he appreciates the gravity with which D is approaching this situation, and the continued patient demeanor he presents in spite of having a stranger barge in on his business. It seems that Dokja hasn't chosen poorly in inviting D to live with them. If only he hadn't been a vampire.
But, well, he's traveled with vampires before in the past. None of them have ever given him any reason to dislike the species as a whole.
The possible future of him wandering around as a mindless husk isn't appealing, by any means, but he's faced worse fates than a potential vampiric seduction. It gives him pause to think, but ultimately his answer remains the same. ]

It only makes sense to take different risks than before. ]
