araj oblodra Trader in Blood and the sanguinous Arts it is a pleasure to stand before a true soul and your pale companion I'd like to offer my services if you're willing please you think someone in my line of work wouldn't recognize a vampire spawn when they see one I trade in blood and the potions that can be rung from it I'm more than happy to make you one if you'd honor me with your blood with one drop I can brew a rather potent potion for you the rest I keep for myself no idea but it will be unique to you your blood Essence and the absolutes blessing intertwined we can learn exactly what that means together hm research naturally a little experimentation perhaps I have an innate curiosity for all things sanguin just a little prick and it's all over close your eyes there we are all of your very best traits in a bottle use it well although perhaps there's one more thing we could discuss your vampiric friend oh don't worry we're all friends under the absolute I won't bite oh I prefer if you did I assume he belongs to you well I hope you don't mind sharing him for just a minute do you have a name spor staran but hold on good now aarian I've dreamt of being bitten by a vampire since I was a young girl I'm sorry you want to be bitten to feel your life's blood slipping away to dance on the edge between life and death yes I want it I'll even compensate you a potion of Legendary Power that forever increases the strength of the one who consumes it it's not for sale but it's yours if you bite me I will have to decline excuse me this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you're squandering it I gave you my answer can't you talk some sense into your obstinate charge I'm sorry but could you excuse us a moment are you actually asking me to do this trading me for some some some potion because there's something wrong with her blood I can smell it from here it's rank I I suppose you have a point easy for you to say you won't have to taste whatever the sludge is in those veins I don't have all day true Soul fine I'll do it darling I've had a sudden change of heart after all who could resist such a delectable Meck hold very very still incredible incredible [Music] oh hells not your taste you're fed full of corruption I feel Exquisite though so here's my part of the bargain I hope you find it as satisfying as I found this it was everything I imagined and then more I'll be able to put this to good use the way she' Leed at me the blood Merchant I can't get it out of my head I did what I always did I let her use me why does it feel different to all the other times then was it I see next time I won't be so stroppy no point not using all the assets the gods give us yes I think something is wrong I'll drink that potion and never think about it again afterwards but what I had to do to get it is going to stay there's nothing more desirable in the world than a vampire is there huh how when you been through all I have you dwell are going to fight with what few assets the gods give you but a part of me feels sick when I think about getting on my back for breadcrumbs again I forced myself to do it I suppose I'll forget it in time I always do I could have lived eternally in cazador's pleasure Chambers I'm not afraid to die I'm afraid I'll never have a new life after that all the promiscuous jibes paint a picture of someone who had relished the deed you couldn't really have known I had nothing at all for so long not even my body that was owned by Cazador to be sent out to tempt fools into his Palace I have bed thousands of people half of them I barely remember most of them didn't even grant me Temporary Bliss I thought it would be nothing at all to sell myself to that drow fantasies but the price was higher than I imagined I don't want to do it again well perhaps I should say that way after all it isn't humiliating to use myself as a weapon it's degrading that people like her fall for it over and over again charm it's just another spell we cast I can stop using myself stop being used it isn't worth worth the scars anymore I can still taste that vile Dr in my throat for you maybe it's a game I'm tired of playing being used really after something like that you think that's what what I'm looking for I was just defiled by that creature and you let it happen you made it happen I thought I could bear sleeping with you to try and get you on my side now I couldn't stand to do it again I don't know what I am am I spent 200 years using my body to leure pretty things back for my master what I wanted how I felt about what I was doing it never mattered throwing your body at someone becomes second nature and I just did it again yes it was it's all right I uh didn't expect myself to feel anything I forced myself to bite her I'm so used to my body being used as a tool to get what someone else wants but I'm free now it shouldn't be like that so you say huh what a novel [Music] idea I didn't think twice when the moment came but now I can't get it off my mind I've seduced people who repulsed me more times than I can count it should have been just another moment of disgust for greater reward and you pushed me we shouldn't be involved with each other anymore I'll sleep [Music] alone um I'm I'm not sure if I should I don't think I want you to think of me in terms of sex I don't know if I want anyone to as a person would that be so much to ask yes I suppose there's not much point to me if I won't have sex my only Talent I'm fully aware perhaps it's better if we don't continue with whatever this was perhaps we'll both be better for it of course I am look at you you're a vision and you're so much more than that I don't know what to think I I don't know what I want as a person would that be so much to [Music] ask I I would like that I've held more people than I can count an infinite parade of lovers but a friend I can't think of a single one until you I suppose it has felt different with you I suppose if this is what you want then I shall provide [Music] it's almost funny this is all a game to you isn't it no matter what I say it doesn't matter not if you get what you want of course I did I know that dance better than anyone but I always felt nothing not last night though last night I felt miserable and it was a revelation well you got what you wanted an apology doesn't mean much at this point I didn't know how to say no but I do now for as long as I can remember I've been used by others controlled puppeted for someone else's pleasure but not anymore whatever we had whatever whatever this was it's over araj o blra Traer in Blood and the sanguinous Arts it is a pleasure to stand before a true soul and your pale companion I'd like to offer my services if you're willing please you think someone in my line of work wouldn't recognize a vampire born when they see one I trade in Blood and the potions that can be rung from it I'm more than happy to make you one if you'd honor me with your blood with one drop I can brw a rather potent po for you the rest I keep for myself just a little prick and it's all over close your eyes there we are all of your very best traits in a bottle use it well although perhaps there's one more thing we could discuss your vampiric friend oh don't worry we're all friends under the absolute I won't bite oh I prefer if you did I assume he belongs to you ah it's like that do you have a name sporn estaran but hold on good now aarian I've dreamt of being bitten by a vampire since I was a young girl I'm sorry you want to be bitten to feel your life's blood slipping away to dance on the edge between life and death yes I want it I'll even compensate you a potion of Legendary Power that forever increases the strength of the one who consumes it it's not for sale but it's yours if you bite me I will will have to decline excuse me this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you're squandering it I gave you my answer can't you talk some sense into your obstinate charge I'm sorry but could you excuse us a moment are you actually asking me to do this treating me for some some some potion because there's something wrong with her blood I can smell it from here it's rank I can't say it just smells wrong unnatural drinking it wouldn't kill me but it would not be pleasant I don't have all day true Soul all right uh thank you uh it's still a no I'm afraid how very disappointing thank you I appreciated that the way she Leed at me the blood Merchant I can't get it out of my head it isn't like me not like me at all I was being too precious wasn't I we could have used her potion a moment of unpleasantry doesn't matter if there's a fine reward I should have just gritted my teeth as always and let her have me for a bit why I'm simply trying to be realistic no it isn't even if I'm free I can't escape my body and the truth about it I know there's nothing more desirable in the world than a vampire is there and you've been through all I have you damn well are going to fight with what few assets the gods give you but a part of me feel sick when I think about getting on my back for breadcrumbs again I am too pretty you're right enjoyment H that didn't come into it I never had a choice I have beded thousands of people half of them I barely remember most of them didn't even grant me Temporary Bliss it should have been so easy to let the Dr use me for her fantasy but perhaps uh you showed me I have enough strength I don't need to I can stop using myself stop being used it isn't worth the scars anymore I uh I want to thank you unfortunate because you're going to hear it you stood up for me earlier when that wretchard Dr was insisting I bite her I I appreciated it that's all uh excuse me this might be the first honest thing I've ever told you and you're not interested seems I was wrong about you about us perhaps it's better if we don't continue with whatever this was perhaps we'll both be better for it I uh I want to thank you for what you said whilst I was in front of that vile Dr I spent 200 years using my body to leure pretty things back from my Master what I wanted how I felt about what I was doing it never mattered you could have asked me to do the same to throw myself at her what I wanted be damned but you didn't and I'm grateful it's a novel concept I admit and uh a little intimidating don't look at me like that I'm as surprised as you are it's been so long since I've had to make these decisions for myself I won't lie it's a taunting Prospect it would have been so easy to bite her to just go along with what I was being told to do a moment of disgust to force myself through and then I could have carried on just like before well of course I needed protection people don't trust vampires perhaps understandably so I needed to get someone on my side and seducing you was easy frankly so imagine how stupid I felt when I started to genuinely feel something for you trust me I was not happy about it you were a complication I didn't see coming and yet it's a shame but I don't want to risk treating you like you one of his victims it's easy to judge a situation when you're not in it ah I tried to pick beautiful people where I could but there were so many over the years after a while you stop caring the entire reason for my existence was to seduce anything with a pulse and every Instinct I have tells me that nothing's changed I'm still just a means to an end you made me see that I never stopped thinking like I was his slave even in freedom but I'm more than that more than a thing to be [Music] used [Music] really I don't know it's been so long since I've had to decide what I wanted why that a almost sounds like a challenge you you're full of surprises aren't you honestly I I have no idea what we're doing or what comes next but I know that this this is nice do you have a moment I I think we need to talk something like that except not that at all oh yes I'm fine I just feel awful it's nothing terrible it's just well maybe it is a little terrible look I had a plan a nice Simple Plan seduce you sleep with you manipulate your feelings so you'd never turn on me it was easy instinctive habits from 200 years of charming people kicked in all you had to do was fall for it and all I had to do was not fool for you which is where my nice Simple Plan fell apart you you're incredible you deserve something real I want us to be something real I yes all right I can understand of course I was attracted to you look at you for goodness sake you're a vision and you're so much more than that I don't know what to think I don't know what I want I just don't know what real looks like not after 200 years playing the rank of course they did that's the problem or part of it being close to someone any kind of intimacy was something I performed to lure people back for him even though I know things between us are different being with someone still feels feels tainted still brings up those feelings of disgust and Loathing I don't know how else to be with someone no matter how much I'd like to really you you're full of surprises aren't you honestly I have no idea what we're doing or what comes next but I know that this this is nice
