[ Krul next to never bothers with this form of communication. But with the season coupled with recent events and the constant tugging of emotions that seem to be bringing certain memories back to the surface more than she would like them to, she finds the need to finally ask what's been on her mind as of late. And it's not anything close to being merry and bright. ]

You all seem to enjoy talking about things such as family and the like here, so then I have to ask.

Would you betray every single person around you if it meant you could save your family or someone you care for? What about death? Would you kill every single person that stood in your way if it meant saving your family? Saving someone you care for?

[ There's a heaviness to her voice, as if she speaks from personal experience. ]

How far is too far when it concerns the well-being of your family? Of someone you care for? Or is too far just not possible when it comes to family and the ones you find yourself caring for?

[ He could lie, and pretend to be a sweet and cheerful person, but he figures that since she's already seen some parts of what he's really like, he might as well tell her the truth without being anon. ]

For family? Hardly, they can all die for all I care. [ He does not have a good relationship with his family. ] Thankfully my father died just an hour or so before I got here so at least that's one more gone. [ Yyyep. ] Killing people is not anything new to me, I've killed far too many for it to be of any concern to me but for them? Never again.

[ When it comes to Michael-kun, though... He doesn't know, but that guy is the only person he's ever trusted even a little. He's already broken some of his personal rules for the hacker, he'll probably do it again. ]

[ Well, here's a voice she recognizes. ]

My, you sound like the type who would kill a human without batting an eyelash. [ That amuses her a little and yet she finds it to be so typical of humans at the same time. ] Cast aside your conscience so early in your life?

More or less, yes. If it's necessary. [ As the strategist, he is the one that decides where and when to kill people. He doesn't just kill needlessly though. ] I was raised to do so, so I'd say it's their own fault that I have turned on them. But being at the top of a criminal cult and having a conscience is just a hindrance no matter if one chooses to stay faithful to it or not.

Raised to be a killer. [ There's a touch of amusement in her tone. ] And does that leave you with no room to feel anything whatsoever then?

Among other things, yes. [ He doesn't only know how to kill. That's not everything a terrorist does. ] Lacking a conscience does not equal lacking emotions.

What an insightful thing to say. [ Impressed? No. Intrigued? A little. ]

I wonder about that. Though many seem to think there is no difference.

After a couple thousands of years, you more or less lose the majority of your emotions.

[ There she goes saying peculiar things again. Though by now he's learned that he's in a magical world so it's a little easier to accept. It's still odd though. ]

Even the feeling of enjoying something?

The most pleasurable thing for a vampire is drinking blood. Nothing else quite compares to that.

[ It's also why a lot of them have a hard time controlling themselves and not killing the one their drinking from right on the spot. ]

So eating is the greatest joy in life, so to speak. I can't really understand that.

[ He likes food - sweets and salty/crunchy stuff in particular - but not so much that it's the most pleasurable thing. ]

The taste of one dying in your mouth as you drain them of the very thing that keeps them alive is pleasurable, yes.

[ Not that she typically drains most to their death but there have been a few times in the over 2000 years. ]

What would be the most pleasurable thing for a human? Something physical? [ She assumes anyways. ]

Ah, I can imagine that it might be. [ Taking the life of another, for one, can make someone feel powerful, or in control. But maybe that's not entirely what she means. ] Although of course, since I have never tried it I can't know how that is actually like.

The most basic pleasures for humans is sex, food and sleep, personally... [ He doesn't really know, to be honest. ] Mmh, petting cats, maybe? [ Very simple for a very complicated person. He also enjoys the sufferings of others, but it's not really the same, because he had also developed that as a coping mechanism... ]

Humans don't typically consume blood for their survival. [ Therefore, it's of no surprise to her that he doesn't understand. ]

Petting cats. [ She can't really tell if he's joking or not with that one. ] The others seem typical for humans.

Some need transfusions, though. And some humans do drink blood for different reasons, even though they don't need to.

The others are. I suppose I don't really know, or haven't found it yet, though that's the best I have.
