Daryl stilled, eyes narrowed as he looked at her. Night time rides were not something he usually did. It was difficult to really see the details of the world. And it seemed odd to him for anyone to want that specifically.
He dropped his hand from his face and brought his arms to the table as he leaned in toward her for the first time. Made it obvious as he took a long sniff of the air between them and his blue eyes shifted visibly from the normal human pupils to the slitted ones of a cat. The change didn't last long. Just enough to confirm the suspicion the request had brought to mind, being as this was an event for those who were not-quite human.
When he leaned back again, he did so with his eyes steady on her. One arm slung over the back of his chair. Daryl didn't have any personal interactions with vampires to sour his opinion of them, nor had he grown up with a group that was particularly wary of their kind. Maybe if his mother had lived longer he would have learned such prejudice. But that lack of social context didn't mean he wasn't cautious. Vampires were dangerous to everyone. It was just a fact. And letting himself out alone with one on a midnight ride into the country could prove very dangerous.
Still, she had been nice to talk to. Which was a first for him in a lot of ways.
"Guess it could," he finally said with a shrug. "Harder to find clear nights so it's easier to see everything, but I don't suppose that would be much of a problem for you."
