[He pauses a moment, taken aback slightly by how Nate just rolls through and past Chris’ dismissal. He’d been expecting pushback or anger and instead, found more tenacious support.]
you’re not mad? yeah, that might work! if you know any warding circles to keep the room protected or to dampen his abilities or strength, i’d be all ears too
of course not, i just want to help however you want that to work, i'll make it work
[ Nate is very opposed to the idea that he needs to be protected, but ultimately, what's important here is supporting Chris. He'll do what Chris needs him to, no matter what that is. ]
i know quite a few most are geared towards trapping demons or other witches, not vampires, but. that said i don't think it'd be hard to tweak them. you said you could control undead? if you cast one of my circles and weave that into it, i think it'd be very difficult for him to break through
plus most vampires are hurt or weakened by sunlight, and if he's the guy that burned up on the network lately, i'd say that's a safe bet
your circle mixed with my necromancy would help immensely
that’s the one. i think he’s hurt by it, i don’t want to torture him, though. not without better cause.
i’ve got mental defense magic and the circle and the control and nick’s making potions for restoring my energy between castings any other thoughts, lovely?
there's runes for that. runes to summon light. like the ones i tattooed on my arm
you could activate them sporadically, to weaken him, if you needed to. i can send you pics. i'll send you fire too, actually, since if i recall vampires don't like that either draw them on the ground, and if you need them, charge them with that radiant magic of yours. i'd say that would do the trick
i'll have my phone and we'll be holed up in the down
[The three little dots run across Chris' side of the screen for several seconds as he briefly considers mentioning who would be with him out of a sense of precaution, but it wouldn't likely ease Nate's mind. The dots disappear and come back before he finally hits send.]
i know i'm being dodgy and a bit of an ass. i'm sorry i'll tell you all after or leave it be after as you wish but meantime? your support means the world to me. i wish i knew better than words how to tell you how much
