I've never been happy all alone.

...it's not for everyone.

However, being relatively isolated can have certain advantages. *uses a diplomatic tone, not sure what brought such a statement to his lips*

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

*listens thoughtfully and then shrugs* None for me, I'm afraid. It hardly helps that the people that I do manage to retain are entirely useless.

[azraelsdaughter.livejournal.com]

Useless? Oh dear. I had hoped at least one of the estate agents on the Helsinki list would prove useful to you, at least for your current endeavor.

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

That man was helpful, but I am generally surrounded by... Hm. What would a kind description be, I wonder...

[azraelsdaughter.livejournal.com]

That's good, at least. Pembroke's intel is usually solid.

*listens, considering him, and then offers a small smile, thinking of the two or three youthful hangers-on she's been...well, avoiding, and ventures gently,* people of commendable loyalty but limited skills, perhaps?

[mrsharker.livejournal.com]

Nor I.

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

How fortunate then that you are not.

[mrsharker.livejournal.com]

*thin smile*

Is that what you see, Vlad?

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

I see that you are rarely alone, my dear.

[mrsharker.livejournal.com]

'Rarely alone' is hardly the same thing as not feeling lonely.

[humanmapquest.livejournal.com]

Me either.

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

Have you spent a great deal of time alone then?

[humanmapquest.livejournal.com]

I have, actually.

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

How unfortunate. You're awfully young to be so familiar with loneliness.

[french-in-fur.livejournal.com]

You sound as though you need a pack, my Lord.

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

Or a more obedient mistress.

Will you be providing me with one, Wolf?

[french-in-fur.livejournal.com]

No, my Lord.

A pack brings drama and guilt. I daresay you have no need nor liking for that.

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

It would do little for me, that is true. What would you bring me instead?

[sweet-daughter.livejournal.com]

Is anybody really?

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

I know a surprising number of people who seem to prefer it.

[sweet-daughter.livejournal.com]

I can't stand it.

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

It's a rather ghastly fate.

[timeofherlife.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it's not that bad.

[ordo-dracul.livejournal.com]

Really? How is that?

[timeofherlife.livejournal.com]

Sometimes peace is necessary.
