It seems that I will be welcoming quite a few others today. Both Muggles. Both scum that will soon be relegated to certain positions. Wonder if this Carolyn Muggle will choose to become one of us. Wonder if she'll cling to her pathetic roots with all the self-righteous indignation that a Muggle can have

You know what? I don't often say this, but here's a fellow who'd look good with makeup on. Like... a lot of it. He could actually pull it off.
"Isn't everybody just a LITTLE mad?" I grin at him.
Then I laugh at his description of Walden. "Sounds like my type of warrior," I add - because he does. Real, straightforward, no bullshit. I mean, sure, the excess testosterone can be a problem, but I SO rather that over the smarmy, fake kind.
I eye him sidelong as we walk.
"Well... that's a good question. What's involved in it? How much of a risk is there that it won't work and I'll just end up with six heads or something? If he's perfected it... gods. How stupid would I have to be NOT to want it?" Really. He gets a dry look to go with that. "IF it really worked... hell. I'd be out of my skull not to take it."

Maybe it IS eeky.
Am I really considering this?
"I'm not afraid of pain, Lucius. If it actually worked... it'd be worth it."
The way of life question is trickier.
His boss didn't like the idea that I hunt vampires for a living; but on the other hand, this "Walden" character is an executioner, so clearly SOMEBODY needs killing.
Probably Muggles. Gods, I want to laugh. Or cry. Or hide.
...do I really want to do this?
"What kind of job would I be able to get?" comes out of my mouth - and because I do'nt mean 'can I be a secretary please Mr. Nice Wizard Sir,' I clarify. "I exterminate dangerous creatures right now, Lucius. That's what I do. Those skills - logically - would travel with me into the new life if that's what I decided. Would there be a place for someone like me, given that?"

"What sort of dangerous creatures do you hunt down? Griffins? Dragons?" There was a multitude of them and I have to wonder if she's seen all there is to see of magical creatures.
If so, then how?
"There's a place for everyone, Carolyn. He makes sure of that."
