What do you most regret losing?
Not very much, for everything I've lost or given up--my human mortality, my 'soul',my bloodfather, I've gained just as much. Even if I hadn't, it's a bit late for regrets, and that's not my idea of how to spend eternity.
But what do I miss? Sunlight. Dreams. Not 'dreams' as in unfulfilled
aspirations, but those found in sleep. Strigoi pass each day in
a form of sleep/coma,yes. It's not the same. We rest, our minds
roam. We're never entirely unconscious. Too risky, on some level
the blood knows it.
I do miss that sometimes. The mix of feeling utterly safe, innocently
letting ourselves drift, let the world take care of itself.
Nighthawks don't have that luxury.
Ah well--the perks make up for it. And in another century or two,
I don't think I'll mind anymore.
