005 愛 [Video - Filtered away from Elena and Vlad]

[notquitegeisha]

[Inara doesn't look very happy. In fact she looks tired, like she hasn't truly slept much in the last couple of days - which very well might be true.

She shakes her head and tries to reign in her feelings enough to get this out.]

Something must be done with this Vlad Dracula.

[Yes, that's pretty much all she has to say right now.]

He's the one who attacked Elena... [She pauses, her lips pressing together.] And now she's decided to let him feed off of her in order to protect the rest of us.

[Her expression says just how much she agrees with what Elena's done.]

[notquitegeisha]

I don't think she believes it's a permanent solution, but the fact she's doing it at all, worries me greatly.

Talk to me, Inara. What's the story?

You mean after he came out and said he was the one who attacked her? He's managed to get Elena to offer herself as his food. [She's not happy about that at all.] She thinks she's saving us all, but I think she's really in danger.

Oh, ya think? [He shakes his head, muttering.] God-dammit, Elena!

Look, I'll talk to her, see what's what. Vlad...is gonna take some work.

Good luck with talking to her, she's quite intent on following through with her end of the deal.

There's been suggestions on how to keep him away from her, I can compile them into a list if you'd like.

What has happened?

[She's been away too long to know.]

[notquitegeisha]

Basically, he's the one who attacked Elena and now she's got it into her head that she needs to protect the rest of us from him... So she's made a deal with him and now he gets to feed from her.

[Idiot.]

Do you believe he will feed only from her or that he will feed from her as well as others?

[notquitegeisha]

I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. I think he's going to do as he pleases no matter the deal that he's made with her.

Agreed. [Hesitation? Uncertainty? What's that?]

But all I've really been able to gather on him is that he's ridiculously powerful. That combined with his personality doesn't leave much room for negotiation.

He has to have some sort of weakness.

He seems to fall under some of the vampire cliches -- garlic, holy water, symbols of faith.

But those would probably only be useful if we were looking to kill him; it'd probably just piss him off otherwise.

[notquitegeisha]

Wouldn't he come back if we kill him?

[neurotoxins]

And what do you think you can do about him?

[notquitegeisha]

Me personally? Nothing. Though I'm hoping that someone here has an idea of how to stop him.

[neurotoxins]

I can list you out ways to stop him or to protect her.

[notquitegeisha]

Truly? [She actually looks a little hopeful.] Any help you could give would be most appreciated.
