"I didn't say you weren't going to help me, I just said that you had the option not to. I'm trying not to take you for granted, Lafayette," Sookie says in protest before setting her own cup of coffee aside and tugging at the sheets until they're up to her shoulders. "Even though I know I kinda do already."

Wiggling her toes, Sookie takes a deep breath, and while she wants to do everything she can to make her motivations seem more respectable, they boil down to something plain and simple: a desire for human interaction. Making up for the friends and family she left behind.

"It's just, I've already met wonderful people here, you know? Like this one guy I had a late dinner with, who was cute, and British, and I wanted to stay there talkin' all night, but then I get home and think, well, if I'm trying to leave real quick, why build up these friendships at all? I should put more attention towards figuring out how this place works."
