"I've never met a vampire before. It's nice to know that some of them are nice, and not all scary." It's an honest sentiment. What he's heard of vampires hasn't been particularly good, but the way Adia smiles it's clear they weren't reflective of her friend. "Some days he can have lots of small visions in a day, or none for months. I don't think it's regular for him. I think they're mostly about family. That's where he's put his focus. People come to him to scry about the future or the past, but that's not often. He always says that people are too fond of shooting the messenger."
"I wasn't. Isidor insisted I went home." The thought of it makes him quiet. "I'm glad she did. It all sounded... so terrible." He looks down, palm rubbing his knee. "You were there then? Did you... Did you... stay long?"
"They're all mages, and all married, yes." There's a hint of surprise in his tone. Whether she meant to guess so correctly or not is hard to tell. He can't help but wonder if she's getting a very clear understanding of the kind of world he lives in. "Only people from strong magical bloodlines are considered for marriage. It's, um, all a way to add to the bloodline rather than 'diluting' it."
