[ It's entirely likely that they'll all be in for a rude awakening when the patient comes around, considering how unkind his en-sleepening was. That's something he was fairly accustomed to dealing with before, but at the moment he's more than glad to have someone else around to help him avoid any... accidents.

You're not sure what you are..? [ Adrian rubs at his chin, brow furrowed, more puzzled than suspicious. There are some lineages where that might be the case — werewolves, or even plane-touched like Adrian himself, who might present a wide variety of traits or none at all. ] What makes you so uncertain?

[ Adrian inclines his head, even more puzzled now. ] Ah, is magic... not common in London? Or is it ordinarily used for evil purposes? Despite what I might look like now, you have nothing to fear from me unless you have ill intentions toward... [ Adrian wavers. He would have once said the innocent. ] Toward those with less power than yourself. Please do tell me if that's the case. If I make another poor choice of friends, I fear my companion will never let me hear the end of it.
