Wine and blood, a delightful combination.

Red or white?

Both are good.. Right now, it's red.

Hmm. I can certainly see how it would.

The blood is fresh, right?

It is. Gotten last night..

Well, enjoy it then, I suppose.

Are they? How do they go together?

Quite perfectly.

What sort of situation would they come together in?

Blood from a fresh kill, mixed with a half glass of wine.

Why do you kill?

I'm a dhampir.

That's extraordinary!

Is it?

Yes! I've met a few vampires lately, but not any dhampirs.

We're uncommon.

I would agree. Do you know very many of your kind?

I've only ever seen a few.

Most die in the womb, shortly after, or are killed while young. The mothers of dhampirs that survive pregnancy and childbirth and don't abandon their children are few and far between.

I didn't know. How have you been able to survive?

My mother was a vampire, my father a human, an even more rare occurrence. She could not take care of me, so she paid a couple who owned a tavern in a town to take care of me.

I got lucky.

And yet you were born? I didn't know female vampires could carry children.

You are very lucky. *nod*

...Of course they can. That is how the Nobility preserve their bloodlines. They breed. No different than humans.

I thought it was through the Embrace, but not procreating in a similar means to humans? That is interesting!

There are vampires that are turned, but they are never Nobility. The Nobility are the ones who can trace their bloodlines back to the Sacred Ancestor.

The turned vampires are... much weaker, much lower.

I wasn't aware there was a difference between a vampire and a vampire of Nobility. Who is the Sacred Ancestor?

Compared to ones who are born? Yes, they would be.

Indeed. I often drink wine from the Toreadors. They infuse it with blood.

How interesting..

Why is that interesting? They are vampires. As am I.
