Fangtasia is still hiring all positions. Flexible schedules are available, as well as day and night shifts, salaried, non-salaried, and contract work. Sam. I received your work history. If you could stop, let us talk about bringing you on as a member of the team. So to speak

No, no, and yes.

[itextedyou]

Why is the third a yes?

[hundredflowers]

The other two are just facts, because they depend on time. Can it be healthy? No, surely as one of them outlives the other, as the difference between their relative ages tears them apart. Can it be equal? No, one's mortal and what's immortal, and those two traits aren't something comparable, in the way that perhaps something human and something not-human could possibly be.

But can it be fulfilling? I think so.

Love doesn't depend entirely on time.

[itextedyou]

Love isn't a part of this equation to begin with.

[hundredflowers]

You asked if it could be fulfilling. I feel like the hardest requirement to fill that you generally hear when it comes to 'fulfilling' relationships is love.

Unless you want to think about things like... being good business partners or having satisfying intercourse, but once again, my answer would be yes there, and probably more firmly so.

[itextedyou]

Maybe that's why I've never had a relationship.

No. The relationship that I am addressing is an irrational one. What's 'good' doesn't seem to apply in the circumstances. I'm sure that there might be love on the human side of it, but not the other. So what is the glue?

[hundredflowers]

Forgive me for being so bold, but. I doubt it.

And you did ask about those sorts of relationships in general in your post, rather than specifying the terms of a single one, but I'll play anyway. How are you so sure that love isn't on the vampire side of the equation?

I feel that the glue probably depends on what the vampire's trying to get out of it. There's something that the human's giving the vampire that pleases. Why don't you ask the vampire yourself?

[itextedyou]

You doubt what?

I did. And now I am stating that the relationship I am thinking of doesn't apply to your response. I don't see that there is a problem doing this, as you are offering your advice freely.

I'm sure because we don't feel these things. Not once we're no longer fledgelings, anyway. And believe me-- I've asked. He is a little taciturn; that kind of a man. Very hard to work with.

[hundredflowers]

Doubt that's the reason why you've never had a relationship. I think it's even unlikely that you've never had one before, but that's more speculation.

And nope, there's no problem in doing it. I'm just saying that I think my response is still valid. I even think that the relationship in question probably falls under it still, but being a third party, you have no way of being an accurate judge of that.

Do vampires never develop relationships? And I don't mean the human version, with flowers and affectionate words. In general.

[itextedyou]

Hm. Actually, you would be correct. I don't have relationships because I know where my priorities are at, and on that very ordered list, relationships are somewhere hovering around number ten.

If he planned to turn her, it would be a different story. But in all of my time I have never seen relationships like these happen in my race's community. We develop relationships, but they are of a different quality than yours. There are vampires who I have not seen in hundreds of years whom I still have loyalty to. That is more our speed.

[hundredflowers]

Which is a completely fair life choice to make for oneself. Relationships might be even lower on my own list, but they're tempting still.

Just because something is entirely new to you doesn't mean that it can't exist, however. Or that it's doomed to failure, or that your friend or whatever he is doesn't enjoy it. There are exceptions to almost every rule. Maybe he's just branching out?

[itextedyou]

Or maybe he likes to make my life difficult.

Here is one thing. At home, the costs outweigh the benefits utterly. I can understand the stupid choice on her part. She doesn't have long to live. But I can't understand it from his viewpoint and that is going to cause problems.

[hundredflowers]

If he really does enjoy making your life so difficult, then maybe that's the thing which pushes the benefits into outweighing the costs. Enjoying you being completely flummoxed at his decision.

And what kind of problems is it going to create? If she doesn't have long to live, then it shouldn't be a bump in his road--or yours--for too long, right?

[itextedyou]

He doesn't have that healthy of a sense of humor, either.

Time is relative. To describe the problem this causes for me would be to go into detail about the responsibilities of my job as a Sheriff. I presume these would bore you. Correct me if I am wrong.

[hundredflowers]

From whose point of view?

I don't bore easily. I'm sitting here talking to you when I could be outside doing any number of things, aren't I?

[itextedyou]

Mine.

I enforce the law. Not human law. Vampire Law. Caring for someone in that kind of a desperate fashion makes one behave irrationally. Sometimes they do things that are not in the interest of their own kind.
