It wasn't until after Sookie had treated herself to a soft strawberry and forest fruit cheesecake that was worth the hearty calories that Godric brought up the celebratory party his second in command was creating in order to both celebrate the fact they were alive as well as remembering those who were killed innocently in the Fellowship of the Sun bombing.
Sookie thought it was a nice idea to remember those who had lost their lives, both human and vampire.
Whether it had been the intention of the Fellowship of the Sun to eliminate their own kind she didn't know. Did they not care simply due to the fact the humans knew vampires by association? Where they that petty?
Being telepathic meant it was hard not to see that some people deserved to be punished for their sins, even if Sookie found it hard to agree with death in any aspect of life. But from the little she knew about the soul killing church, she didn't doubt that Steve Newlin simply saw the human casualties as collateral damage.
That's if he felt at all guilty for what he had done.
Knowing that Godric would still be referring to Isabel as his second in command even after being stripped of his position title, Sookie didn't mention his slip up. As far as she was concerned he should have been thanked for getting everyone out of the church without his nest going through with Stan's plan in slaughtering them all.
It could have been so much worse, and yet he was punished for controlling what could have been a horrific situation.
Nan Flanagan needed to sort out her priorities.
A horrific event that could have put the vampires in a good light, the innocents in the scenario, had been wasted by Nan Flanagan who could see past the fact she actually had to work for a living. Just because she was undead didn't mean there was any excuse for her behaviour, especially considering she had always been raised to respect her elders. She had been under the impression that it was the same case for vampires, but perhaps she had been wrong.
Chewing the corner of her lip, Sookie blushed as Godric paid her yet another compliment. She couldn't help her natural reaction, her cheeks flushing a soft pink. While part of her didn't believe it was completely appropriate considering they weren't technically dating, she found it impossible not to appreciate Godric's comments. He didn't seem like the type of man who would lie about something so personal, nor have sleazy thoughts running through his head like so many of the male humans she had come across in her years.
Bill rarely paid her any compliments, well that didn't revolve around her blood, body or disability.
"Would you be offended if I asked you about your gift?" Godric brought up the topic of her disability when all vampires had decided to vacate the room for various reasons. Godric held no doubt that they wished to physically catch up with their companions, an urge many vampires felt soon after rising.
Asking herself, Sookie wasn't really surprised when she found she didn't mind in the slightest. She was soon finding out that it was hard, if not impossible, to deny Godric anything.
"What do you want to know about it?"
Taking a sip of her sparkling water Godric's eyes seemed to light up at the prospect of increasing his knowledge. It must be a rare occurrence for him to come face to face with something new, Sookie figured, especially when his age was taken into consideration. She figured the same information grew tiring over the years.
"Thank you, älskling. You will tell me if I am getting too personal, yes? My last intention is to offend or upset you in any manner."
It only made Sookie want to confide in him more. "Ok." It only made her more aware of the fact that Bill had never been so considerate, always trying to guilt or hint at her to reveal more than she was ready for.
