"Only to those I like. Either that or I was hired to kill you, but you're not in that list."

"So who might you be, dear?"

@abridgedvampire

╚»★ "..Depends, do you usually randomly appear to people?"

"Oh no. If Death wanted you gone, then we would not be talking. You'd be shot through the heart, and it'd be too late for anyone to save you. Then I'd bite you and turn you into a Vampire."

"You may call me... Alucard."

╚»★ "Is that so..? Frankly, I'm surprised it's not death. Though, I suppose the gods prefer to make me miserable, but won't let me die. Very well.."

"You may call me, Iris."

"Does Immortality not interest you?"

"Really? Have a think about my name for a moment and picture it. You'll get it."

╚»★ "I'm not entirely sure what being a vampire would entail, but I'm not particularly interested either. I will give you that your name is quite.. unique, I've certainly never heard another like it."

"Sheesh. Way to bring down the mood."

"For starters, you would be unkillable, and be able to use your Vampire strength to do all manner of things to those who wronged you."

"Well, I could easily do that for you. Be pretty fun too, I've been bored as fuck lately and need something to eat."

╚»★ "Living as I am already is agonizing enough, why would I want to extend such a thing even longer? I don't see the appeal."

While she wasn't particularly intrigued at the idea, she did at the very least try to humor his request.. even if it wasn't really fruitful. Ironic when she comes from a place of unique beings and names, but yet she'd come up short with his.

"Nothing comes to mind."

"Well that'd work in my benefit. I'd make you into a Vampire, so then you wouldn't have to worry about that ever again~"

"Besides. This isn't even my most handsome form~"

abridgedvampire "And I enjoy flustering her whenever I make my advances~"

╚»★ "Awfully bold ones, mind you!! Gods, I could have a heart attack from your antics alone."

"Well. I mean. I saved someone's life for it."

"Their heart plastered over a tree as someone used them as a shield, bleeding on the ground like a blond eviscerated puppy. They were better off with it."

"But, if you're so insistent on remaining mortal, I can dig it. Least with me you have a super powerful potential boyfriend."

╚»★ "I still don't understand why you're so insistent on that. I have no interest in being immortal, undead or not. It's probably thrilling for you, but the idea of it sounds miserable to me."

"Well, when I see a beautiful and dashing woman like yourself? Better get it all out of the way. I'm a fuckmothering Vampire after all."

"Besides. There's something about you that interests me. You interest me. So why not throw caution out the window? Not like I can just die from flirting."

╚»★ "...I'm..not even gonna grace that potential imagery with a thought. The way you described it was deterrent enough."

"And.. are you always this audacious and forward when you try to flirt with mortal women?"

Alucard stepped forward, gently planting his gloved hands onto her facial features, brushing one of her hair strands out of her eyes.

"Listen. Any other woman, I would probably of just complimented them, attempted a rude joke and moved on. But you?"

"There's something about you that makes me want more. You talk about how being a vampire would not fix anything about you, and that's got me curious. On the outside, you're an attractive woman. On the inside, I see similarity."

"I doubt that you'll drop from being interesting. And no, before anyone else decides that I'm going the 'I can fix her' route, fuck off with that. I do genuinely find you fascinating. Can't falter a guy for taking an interest, can you?"

╚»★ "...But, if it only hinges on my looks, and how much I intrigue you, will you not eventually get bored should that interest wane? I can't imagine myself being that interesting, even to someone like you."

"You had a bad upbringing, right? You mentioned that."

"I had a similar childhood. I was enslaved by the Ottoman Empire as a child. I was a loyal follower to the Catholic Church, praying to God for salvation like all the other good boys and girls. Until I eventually got promoted and led a war against the Turks, to which I lost and had my home burned, and people I called friends murdered. Ever heard of the name; Vlad the Impaler? You're looking at him."

"I would of perished, too. Until I drank the blood of everyone on that battlefield and became a True Vampire."

"So trust me. I know what it's like to have a shitty life."

He caressed her cheeks gently, not to provoke violence, but as reassurance.

"So in a way, I feel your pain. Not quite the same way, mind you, but enough to make me want to ensure you don't have to suffer anymore."

"That, is more worth to me than just your smoking hot bod."

╚»★ Her instincts kicked in, tensing at the touches, ever gentle they were yet her subconscious had expected violence to follow. As she had grown accustomed and conditioned to in her younger years.

"Similarity.. I'm not sure I follow."

"I don't really understand what you see, but you seem pretty dead set that your interest will not change or wane. I cannot fault anyone for their interests, I just cannot see the appeal."
