Honestly, the calm nature of Jean-Claude puts Cooper more uneasy than anything else. He would have preferred it if the head of the Nest had been angry with him. This was more like quiet disappointment than anything else.

"If they want to end up on the top instead of the bottom, they can learn to play nice like we did." Cooper hadn't worked his tail off during the representative election, promoting that the vampires had changed for the better, for nothing. They had lost almost everything when Harris was in charge. It had been a miracle to gain most of it back.

It is easy to be angry. To yell at someone and cause a scene. A fight. But a fight serves no purpose. A learning experience does not stem from an argument. Jean-Claude is getting his point across in the best way that he knows how.

He takes in a long breath and lets it out slowly, regarding the other vampire carefully. "I would ask that you consider the ramifications of such a vote more closely, should such a one come about," he continues. "Not only have you given one group the permission to hold power directly over another, but you have given permissions to Circle Daybreak. The witches are powerful enough as it is, without enslaving fae cronies to do their bidding. I will remind you that vampires are still not permitted to use their own powers over others in turn. Mind control, for example, will still be illegal while these witches get their familiars."

He shifts in his seat, his expression softening. "I only ask because you are our representation on the Council, mon ami. It is a power even I do not have over them."

Cooper listens, really listening without the usual snark and attitude he has with others when they try to tell him what to do. As usual, Jean-Claude has a fair point here. "You're probably right." As usual. Cooper was doing the best he can, but he was still a work in progress.
