aurthor: (blood best from the source)

That's why I suggested you're from much further in human history. Technologically, and certainly developmentally.

It sounds almost lonely though, the way you do one night affairs. As liberal as I might be with mine, the women I meet can still find me again for another if they choose. Good for the ego.

[A giant grin!] No. Actually, I'm not a greater vampire. And I don't consider myself ethical! [He's a Doctor and yet! He actually does also follow the English knight code of conduct rather deeply. But he only says it so he can keep being a playboy and he doesn't want people trusting him!] But vampires can handle sunlight, garlic, crosses, everything stories get wrong. There's still some -- many limitations. Food isn't sustaining, and as I said: vampires are parasites. They need humans, humans don't need vampires at all.

I lived in a mansion with them, and a few others like myself. I don't know that I'd call the owner entirely ethical either. He's never been human, unlike me, I at least used to be, so his thinking I can't usually understand. But he obtains his blood ethically, that I can promise. And Sebastian is entirely human, but enjoys working as a butler there because of other benefits.

I'm a lesser vampire. [Just daring this "magic" world to come at him.] No capacity to turn someone into like myself, no transformation powers or whatever else have you.

But that's the other reason I can't go asking Sebastian if he's ever been bitten. He knows I don't drink from anyone, rules of the house! But I use it to enhance romance with women who want it. Haven't had a chance with men yet. Most of them wouldn't take such an offer well.
