"You've got more."

All the centuries Louis wants, to do anything. Everything. Live until he can touch the sun again, live until he can want to see another sunrise. Live until he doesn't sound so dismissive of himself, A rougher thing.

And then a huff of a laugh, and he jostles there hands again, teasing.

"Come on, you've have been sick of me so fast."

Daniel would have made a much better looking vampire in decades gone by, but he'd have been a much more insufferable one. There are reasons he's twice divorced (and none of them are waiting in the swamp for him, no one is holding trials, no one's keeping him locked up in a cage), why he has no friends, why his kids hate him.

"What happened wasn't better," he says. "But now has its own merits."

Silver linings, like skipping Daniel in the early 90s.
