Oh, right, yes, he did used to strike fear into the hearts of young vampires, didn't he? While Mitchell collects himself, he just sort of stands there with the rota, awkwardly. Done? Yes? "Thanks."

"Sorry, weren't you--? You know." Dead? Deader? Kicked the bucket? Ceased to be? An ex-vampire? "Before you came here."
With Ivan, he'd assumed there had been some kind of misunderstanding--rumors of his demise had been greatly exaggerated, etc.--but Mitchell? He hadn't connected the face with the name until now, but if this is Annie's Mitchell, from what little he'd gleaned about what happened from Annie and Tom, he sincerely doubted the other vampire had somehow survived. (Or if he had, that would have been quite the shit thing to do.)
