[It is night, the very earliest of hours in the new day, and Louis is sitting in a dully lit room. The color of the light is a dull blue, and his face is mostly in shadow. The darkness outside and the blue-teal light give his white skin -- what can be seen of it -- a very unhealthy hue. However, his voice is soft and curious in tone, and welcoming in its calmness]

One of my most favorite of memories of my home were the crawfish. Platters full of bright red crawfish, freshly caught, steaming and soon to be bathed in seasoned butter.

[Being in the Water district has brought these distant memories back and they make him smile slightly as he thinks on it. He couldn't now remember what crawfish tasted like but he remembered that he had enjoyed it.]

Do they have here what any of you recall fondly from your own homes? More surprising to me is not what all is different here, but how much is so similar, to what I once knew.

That I am, though it is still such an oddity to conceive of various Earths. Cherrycake sounds lovely.

[He tries to remember if he's ever had any and he doesn't think so. Louis has visited Germany several times but it was always after he was no longer human, without a human appetite.]

Are you German, Sir?

It is quite good. It's a chocolate cake, layered with cherries and whipped cream, and topped with chocolate shavings.

And yes. I am. Have you ever had the opportunity to visit?

It is my pleasure to answer that yes, I have. I traveled extensively along the northern coastline. [In particular Wismar, though he leaves out this detail. Those had been his last months with Claudia when they had been on their great European expedition to find other vampires.]

Such a beautiful country, with such warm people. I quite like to think I will be able to find myself back there some day.

You're very fortunate - the north is particularly scenic. I do hope you're able to visit again.

I understand that the idea of multiple versions of a world may be odd to some, and time here is also unusual. May I ask what year it is you're from?
