"I don't know about that. At least back there I didn't have to pay for anything." Lambert's half-serious about it, but half-kidding, as he amends that easily enough with: "Free shit doesn't make up for free will, but it definitely helps make it easier."

He sizes up the stage manager, casually looking him over to assess how this whole vampirism nonsense has been treating him. Lambert's had a lot on his mind since just before they showed up here, turning the Ringmaster's offer over in his head, but it occurs to him he hasn't really caught up with the man. That he's a vampire is obvious enough, he was probably injured along with everyone else kidnapped.

"You'd like it more if you could actually go out in the sun." Statement, not question.
