And so he returns, reentering Sookie's living room, once again in dirty jeans and with muddy feet.
He sits down on her couch, cautiously, and realizes that she must be on the phone with someone out in the kitchen.
Going "Pam? Pam?"
Then she hangs up and reappears with a basin of water for his dirty feet. Apologizing because it's grown cold by now, the water.
"I don't mind," he says, looking intently at her as she kneels down and wrings a washcloth.
Her touch is gentle and he pulls one foot back a little, surprising her with a suppressed giggle.
It tickles.
She seems sceptical as she returns her attention to his feet. As if he doesn't fit.
Like in Milliways.
He suddenly, urgently, wants to kiss her, but you can't. Not just like that.
So instead he leans forward , just a little, and says, "You're very beautiful."
She looks up. Even more sceptical.
"Uhm - thanks?"

So she nods, a faint inclination of her head, a vampire agreement.
And then she looks at Eric, into his eyes. Big and shirtless and awkward and standing in a basin of water with his hair mussed and falling over his brow.
She wants so badly to talk to him. To touch him, to--
But she can't. Not with Sookie here. And Eric is obviously following Sookie's lead now like a goddamned puppy.
"Eric--"
She says his name firmly, but her voice catches, as she tries to pull him out of this.

At Pam. (It's gotta be that Pam. The one they told him about in Milliways).
Wondering if that is how he looks to others.
Smooth and cold and cruel.
(He's never seen another vampire).
He clears his throat.
She is obviously expecting him to do something.
And Emcee did say that he would have to be careful. That there were rules and hierarchies hed have to respect.
So he says, "I'm sorry I pushed you."

What?
For a moment she looks stunned.
No, no, no, apologies aren't what she wants to hear from Eric. It's all wrong. It's all so wrong.
Her expression hardens again, the very picture of a century of undeterred loyalty.
"Eric Northman, you are my Maker," she says, putting the fierceness back into her voice. "And I swear to you, I will find a way to get your memories back."

She's - very intense about this.
About him.
It's a little unsettling. Kinda a lot unsettling really.
"Uhm."
He worries his bottom lip a little. Darts a quick look at Sookie who looks like she really wants this conversation to be over - and says, "Thank you."
Earnestly.

Eric has no idea just how intense she can be about him.
As for Sookie, she'll have one of Eric's daytime people deliver payment in the morning. Cash.
Then with one last look at both of them, Pam is gone, leaving the front door wide open, curtains fluttering in the breeze.
