The immortality of Velvet

Gifts and understanding

Velvet thought about what it would be like to be this man's childer or pseudo childer maybe even adopted, she wondered what the correct term would apply to the situation or if it really mattered. She thought it might matter that she wasn't really of his lineage if her real maker came along and started staking a claim of some sort, the idea made her frown silently, it seemed strange that she suddenly started giving off a severe after just laughing but her thoughts drew her in.

''Hmm?'' She started when he began talking about her memory but she quickly caught up and listened to him talk of the dangers and how he might remove her memories, she slowly nodded. ''I see... I believe you're right, I said earlier that I wanted to go on if I become human with this as a bad memory or a nightmare, quickly forgotten. So the idea that I can go on as if it never happened because I won't be able to remember is a relief, I would like you to do that. Thank you though, for your concern. Your childer are lucky to have you as a sire, you care a lot.''

She took the refilled cup with a smile of gratitude and took to sipping it slowly, raising a brow at his question on 'male attention'. ''Well... yes. Not to flatter myself but I did have a good amount of men wanting to be close to me before, however they've never been so... tenacious in wanting to have sex with me or just wanting to be around me and I found it strange.'' She thought to some pleasant and unpleasant moments with a scoff now that she knew why.

"Of course. I've had to clean up slips of our nature before, so it helps to be skilled in such things. And most of my gifts are those of the mind. Part of being one of my line." He sipped from his own cup, enjoying the warmed liquid as he watched her, listening to her reply and nodding before he set the cup down once again.

"I'm not surprised. There are those lines whose gifts run more towards physical aspects of beauty. Actually, it's a rather fascinating study on whether or not it's a physical augmentation of your nature beauty, of which I am sure you had plenty, or if it's a mental effect that causes perception changes. Each of which has their own schools of thought, each of those schools having several different explanations for how it could possibly come about. Some stem from the purely scientific, while others stem from mystical application. As just as I have certain things I look for in my childer, your sire would have theirs."

He chuckled a bit, waving his hand. "My apologies if I go on a side rant though. As I said, you were a lovely woman in life, obviously. The Blood has merely brought that more to the fore, for whatever reason and in whatever fashion. It would potentially make your feeding easier, as I am sure you are aware of those possibilities. But, of course, you need never use them if you don't wish to. I'm a bit of a paranoid man, stocked for decades, in fact."

''Gifts of the mind, huh?'' She smiled to herself. ''I'm quite sure I wasn't picked for that reason, Intelligent isn't really a word that's been used to describe me often. More to the tune of... cunning, sly and a favourite of mine, manipulative. Believe me when I say they haven't been compliments.'' She let a laugh spill out, as self-deprecating as it was, it wasn't like they had no credit in saying them, she was all these things.

It did fascinate her to hear about how vampirism could cause the increase of physical alluringness on her side of things, though whether it was mental or physical and if either one of those was scientific or mystical was and interesting thought. She was sure that throughout the course of finding a cure, it would all become clear.

''I don't think I'd like to put my abilities into use in terms of feeding. I would have enough trouble doing it right at the moment when there is literally no other goddamn choice than to sink my fangs into someone's neck, or wrist or...'' She cut herself off from finishing her sentence, she was trying to stay calm and pleasant with him, he was being kind to her and didn't deserve to deal with her being emotional anymore than he had. Not to mention finally being fed was making her feel more and more tranquil, she could see herself falling asleep with how good being fed felt.
