The day ahead is already setting his nerves on fire. Having Jean-Claude there, looking beautiful and serene in the light of dawn wasn't exactly helping. But it wasn't hurting either. It... well, it was nice to see him. To see the vampires that could step up, stepping up. Even with the way Hillingdon was to them, normally. Having their aid was a big deal and a marked difference in how things were being run on Islington's side in comparison to their history of the group.

His people already knew not to attack any of the vampires that came to help. That he'd promised them temporary immunity to the normal rule of none allowed. More than a few hadn't liked it, but when it came down to it, they all understood the need for numbers in this push against Daybreak.

A half-smile briefly played along Daryl's lips as he purred out something to the cats near him. They parted for Jean-Claude so he could approach easily and then wound in behind him. More than a few rubbing up against the back of his legs.
