[It's true. Elias is an incredibly non-threatening vampire. It's part of why he was more aggressive than he needed to be (than if he were an older, more intimidating vampire, for example), but on seeing Lockwood sheath his rapier Elias is also content with storing his dagger into his coat’s inner pocket again.
He takes a second to look at the thralls and motion for them to come over and stand behind him.]
I apologize if this has… inconvenienced you particularly. Do you desire any compensation for your time?
[Of course, they need to present a united front to the novices and make no appearances that becoming a vampire meant they could stand up to another for no reason. Ideally, this guy's just going to ask for a good vintage bloodwine or some other small platitude. Actually, many vampires ask for sex but Elias’ got a reputation for being a pretty lame bang, so.]
