Jack Just stares Dan down with a dead look, "...try getting used to being dead…" He might understand.
"Your thing took getting used in a different way." He dismissed the vampire with another lazy hand wave, "You ever eat a hamburger and suddenly you're everything in that juicy burger, and you're a cow living your happy little life until you're brutally handled, killed, and put inside your own mouth? It's trippy as balls man. And that's just the cow. I mean, the vegetables aren't as exciting, but you get the idea. Still a vegetarian to this day."
Jack's face told Dan he'd just realized something, "Dude…sex?" He hastily continued, that statement was WAY to vague, "You literally sleep with everyone that person's slept with and them."
Dan nodded, "Blows you're fucking mind. Especially if they're good in bed or not. Which I can tell before I even roll around with 'em."
"So wait..." Jack put two and two together, "Hold on…" He was still doing the math, "Is that why you're always staring at my ass?" He finished with a suspicious squint.
"I've got some decency! I don't go prying around unless there's a need to, you've just got nice ass."
"...Uh…thanks? I think?"
"You're welcome." Dan enjoyed seeing him uncomfortable, so he threw in a wink, "Stop clenching, I know you aren't swinging my way any time soon, but a man can still enjoy the view can't he?" He motions to the untouched drink still sitting in front of Jack, "So if you're dead, is that alcohol going to waste on you?"
"Yes, here." He pushes it across the table.
"No man, you enjoy it. Unless you can't? Just thinking about things dead bodies can and can't do."
"No, really, can't get drunk or drugged."
Dan looked genuinely upset, "Not even the taste?"
"Sometimes, but I have to focus. Otherwise it tastes like ash."
"That bloooooows!"
"Yes, yes it does." The man's expression showed he missed it. A new and interesting dichotomy had just emerged between the two. Where as one could touch and experience the world and people in it with such intensity and empathy, the other being shut off from nearly everything the world had to offer unless he focused intensely.
The man with the heartbeat looks at the old fashioned sadly and holds it up, "Well here's to still being awesome, gonna enjoy this for the both of us pal." He knocks back a heavy swig.
