The vampire gives a flippant shrug. Nancy wasn't dead or injured, so clearly it wasn't that big of a deal that he had almost committed vehicular homicide. He had too much guilt involved around the act of killing people when he fed to have any left over for such mundane matters.

Lying and half-truths come easy to Cooper. He does it just about every day of his life. He won't mention how Nancy is out there on the streets, vampires feeding off of her and the dangers that presents. Instead, he gives his own version of the truth, half-twisted and omitting details while still staying true at the core. "It means when I'm friends with someone, that's what I do. I look out for them, make sure that they're safe. I've always been like that. I've gotta be loyal t'something, whether that's people or an idea, otherwise, my word isn't worth shit."
