( Louis repeats the words, his surprise turning deeply introspective for a moment, though he can appreciate the humor in a two-century-old vampire being called by such a juvenile name.
He's even more surprised to see a gift. Birthday or no, he feels vaguely guilty about accepting something from a stranger, even if nothing here costs any money. Still, it's a touching gesture, and Louis accepts it gratefully, without looking too much like he wants to crawl out of his skin. )
Oh, I hope I don't seem sad. It's all just a bit overwhelming. I don't attend many parties, and especially not ones where I'm meant to be the guest of honor.
( He's glad that people are doing their own things, really. )
Thank you for the gift. I truly didn't expect anything... it was so kind of you to go out of your way. My name is Louis — I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting you.
