Vampires?

The only thing I'll say about vampires is. Call me or mine one?

Meet the heel of my boot.

Why would someone do that unprovoked?

[kievduchess]

Merely an advanced warning?

[november_chill]

Would the thought arise otherwise, even without said advanced warning?

[kievduchess]

Indeed.

[november_chill]

How impolite the people of the City are, then. Might I ask as to why they would call you a vampire, if you aren't? False accusations are such offensive things. ♥

[kievduchess]

Those people and my race share similar attributes.

Aversion to sun, for example, and the need to consume hemoglobin.

[november_chill]

I see. How rude of others to confuse the two, then.

[kievduchess]

I know.

[november_chill]

Ah-- forgive my manners. Jack Simon. Who might I be speaking to?

[kievduchess]

The Duchess of Kiev, Astaroth Aslan.

[november_chill]

Duchess? I had no idea we had someone of royalty in the City. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

[kievduchess]

Hardly royalty.

[november_chill]

But still someone of status, surely.

[kievduchess]

Noble, yes.

[november_chill]

The two are synonymous, I would think.

[kievduchess]

Not at all. There's a big difference between a low ranking noble like me, someone like the Duchess of Fortuna, and someone like Empress Augusta Vradika.
