Late Afternoon--Library

More books! It was Saturday after all, and this time he was definitely in the mood to feed his intellectual hunger. He wandered around, trying to decide what section to look in first.

Mozenrath was in the library looking for something recreational for once. Not that he was big on fiction? But he was kind of hoping to find people he'd met on the Barge within these pages. Might make for some good blackmail material, anyway. Presently, he was contemplating taking either Heart of Darkness or Blood Meridian.

Dracula inclined his head to the young man. He remembered him vaguely as having been arrogant and rude, but having had the signs of an interesting intelligence. Noticing the books, he recognized one of the titles. It had attracted his attention a few weeks ago because it involved blood. He had read it, only to discover he was immersed in a novel about the same sort of ugly realities he had lived through during the Breach. "That tale is relevant to some of our recent experiences," he pointed out of Blood Meridian.

"Hm?" Mozenrath lifted his head to look at him and was a little surprised and shocked at himself for not feeling him coming. He was usually more careful than that. He then looked back down at the book. "Oh, yes. I've read another by this author already. Strange thing to say but he writes rather beautiful violence."

"I was noticing that. I was left wondering if he was a war veteran perhaps, to have such a grasp of these things. But some merely have a prodigious talent in their chosen field." His eyes glinted briefly.

"We have not met formally before now. I am Vladislaus Dracula."

"Mozenrath." He glanced up from the book, where he was reading the inside of the jacket, to afford him full eye contact for at least a moment. "I take it the latter is a family name."

"Well met." A flicker of emotion crossed his face a moment at the mention of family. Technically it is Valerious, he thought with a tiny but noticeable twinge. "It is a sort of clan title passed down to members of the Ordo Dracul within my family. A society of Knights."
