Oh. My sincere apologies. You started talking about sex and I got thoroughly distracted.

[His eyes narrow slightly and he chuckles.] Oh now you're getting clever on me.

I am the original for my world. I was once a great warlord, and worked for the church. Then they decided I was out of control and sent my best friend to murder me. As I slipped into darkness, I was offered a...deal. And I accepted it.

Let me give you a piece of advice...never do that. You are a vampire without such interventions, and you never ever want to make such a deal.

[A soft smile as he thought of Persephone.] She was magnificent. I still miss her. She gave me two good reasons to start learning to get along with other beings.

...but animals are rather off limits for me. I'd rather save my passions for thinking beings, though I am liberal regarding their race.

It seems that many vampires turn people whenever they kill, or sometimes whenever they bite. We must drain the blood and give some of our own. That allows us to choose our new converts carefully. I admit, I haven't always in the past. But I reserve the right to be...picky.

Your bite is not directly infectious, is it? That can be difficult to manage.

As for the rest, I don't know any vampires who don't fall to sunlight or that which is blessed. But in this case, I heal so quickly that it is quite difficult for anything to put me down for long.

Which reminds me. You're having thirst problems, yes?
