Cooper raises up his eyebrows, getting an image of a young, possibly nude Clara in his mind. He shakes his head to rid himself of the image. No need to go down that route. It'll only lead to things he does not want. "I'll take it inta consideration."

Cooper does love Clara's positive nature. No need to tell her all about the volatile nature of vampire politics. The Duchess was just as likely to break him into seven different pieces as grant his request. He shrugs and lifts up one hand in a 'Search me' gesture. There never do seem to be enough hours in the night to get the things done that he needs to. "I've been busy. Newborn vampire, hunters, fae, y'know, the usual six or seven things I'm always juggling on my plate."
