Some things are secret for a reason.

Are they?

Of course. Practically telling all and sundry that you're a vampire isn't usually a good idea. Even if it doesn't matter as much around here than it would back home.

A vampire, hmm? I assume not the imitation Goth kind.

Definitely not the fake kind.

You might have seen one or two vampires making themselves a bit too obvious around here not long ago.

I haven't been here long, so perhaps not.

Is there something more subtle about your status as a vampire?

Do I look undead to you? [She generally only admits being a vampire if someone figures out that something's different about her. And even then, only if she thinks she can trust them.]

I'm sorry, obviously I misinterpreted your insinuation.

It's not a problem.

You just associate with vampires, then.

Well, I know about them enough to stay out of the way... [Well now, how good is this woman at telling if someone's twisting the truth?]

And is challenging them on the status of their secrecy your version of 'staying out of the way'?

[Preeeettty good, I'd say - in a suspicious way that tends to get more false positives than false negatives.]

[She may have a large vocablary and be very intelligent, but conversation isn't her strong point...]

Well... no.

You don't seem very afraid of them.

I can take care of myself. [Being several times stronger than a human helps!]

That's lucky.

[I bet xD]

Truer words are rarely spoken.

I've noticed a couple of fellow vampires... not being very discreet, shall we say. [A smile.] How's things, Mallory?

Things're okay. *smiles a little* How d'you mean, not so discreet?

Well, one was feeding on a dead guy in full view of everyone...

*a little nervous laugh* Shit, that's... pretty much the complete opposite of discreet. Yeesh.

Gives some of us, who don't kill humans, a bad name.

*nods*

It seems like it's always the few instead'a the many who earn reputations for a group.

Yes. Annoying, isn't it?

Very.
