Erik inclines his head politely when Klement stands to greet him. This is one thing that makes the Antiquary so pleasant to do dealings with, he has the proper respect for decorum.
"Yes, I had the same notion. Which is why I instructed Max to wait for me here. Great minds think alike, it seems."
Erik slides gracefully into the booth. Max sits down beside him, pressing in close enough that their thighs touch beneath the table. That brings a momentary pitying smile to the Vampire's face. Max had obviously been fretting, he still smelled strongly of fear.
Erik pats Max's arm, above the table where Klement can see. "Yes, Max is incredibly good at making fast friends."
Nothing in Erik's tone or demeanor really seems to perceptibly change, and yet, it's as if the temperature in the room has dropped a degree, "And, it seems he's already gotten quite comfortable speaking with you about certain personal topics."
Through the connection of their thighs, Erik can feel the muscles in Max tense. The human's eyes cast down to the table immediately, as if he's been harshly reprimanded.
