[If he isn't seeking leverage, he has little reason to dig into someone who has his regard. Tears that deep don't come from insignificant sources.]
If you get the ingredients to me by the end of the week, I'll have the draught ready within one week of that. Obviously, don't drink it until the day of the party. Its effects will wear off within a week given your specific...I hesitate to use the word enchantment. It doesn't read like that.
[An entire week where he can sustain injury. Fascinating, and something he knows he’s going to need to be careful with.
It’s impressive, really, that Grayson can take one look at his aura and offer something like being able to hamper gifts from the Devil for an entire week. Whether it works or not feels like an open question, but history holds that the vampire knows what he’s talking about.]
Consider it a favor from the divine, if that helps any in the conjuring.
[He quirks a small, wry smile. This is going to be interesting.]
Takes one to know one. [He's not going to quibble pedantically with Grayson over the meaning of 'divine' when there's a recently returned unlife, disrobed vampire waiting for him back in their suite.]
If you do, I'm sure you won't find any shortage of people with powers looking to limit or enhance themselves in some way. Even the extraordinary is served by a shaking up now and then.
[It's an interesting idea and one he'd happily discuss at a different time, but again, disrobed vampire.]
Now, if you don't mind me cutting things a little short, I've got someone waiting on me.
There's nothing remotely infernal about my energy.
[It's a bit sharp, eyes narrowed. He seems willing enough to let it go, however.]
Something I may consider at least.
[He waves a hand.]
Yes, by all means, get back to your engagement. Let me know when you have the materials. Or bring them by and the homunculus will receive them if I'm indisposed.

I’ll have what you need to you within a few days.

[If it were divine, he wouldn't touch it with a 50-foot pole.]
Excellent. Then I'll be able to get to work. You do provide the more enjoyable challenges these days. Perhaps I should expand my enterprises.
[It would be more satisfying than the piddling work he does for the lab.]

Not interesting enough to hold him up for now, though.]
Perfect. Like I said, I'll have them for you soon.
[And then with farewells said, he makes his way from the suite and back towards his own.]
