Eric was quickly growing annoyed with the detective. He didn't care much at all for the humans of thos house, other than Sookie. He owed Rose for helping him out, and so he felt a sort of obligation to look after her well-being. But this man could jump off the roof for all he cared.

"I dont't really care what your concern is," he said, narrowing his eyes. "If John outed Sam to Lucifer as I heard, then he has every right to exact any revenge he wishes." Punishments in vampire society were quite a bit harsher than humans were used to, but Eric thought Sam was in the right here. "It is bad enough that I have to avoid him so, and I'm physically stronger than the Winchesters."

Eric's tone was sharp and violent, despite that he hadn't raised his voice at all. He looked to Rose, glad that she wasn't taking responsibility for the idiot's cowardice. He would have lost plenty of respect for her if she had.
