I am sure they take no insult for there is much better in Folkmore than back home. I am glad fresh produce is one of them for you.

[huntedtyphoon]

Well, maybe, I don't know. I've never insulted them.

[whowillmourn]

Rarely is there a need to insult people.

[huntedtyphoon]

Well yeah, but I'm sure people have before.

[whowillmourn]

The number of times I have been insulted is so numerous it is beyond count.

[huntedtyphoon]

Yeah, me too, but I don't care about that so much. I mean, it's not really a big deal, is it?

[whowillmourn]

The insults themselves, no, are no matter; it is only that the only ones 'brave' enough to insult a vampire to his face, where I am from, are also those foolish enough to attack one. The attacks themselves are more of a problem.

[huntedtyphoon]

A lot of people insult me without knowing who I am, it's kinda rough like that, but then if they find out who I am they insult me more and yeah, a lot of people are so violent! I'm not really into that though.

[whowillmourn]

I suppose those first insults are the most honest, based on their own interactions with you. For my part, I cannot hide that I am a vampire back home, and I make no attempt to do so here. I believe most people who know of vampires can identify me as one on sight.

I am a trained warrior, and I gladly protect those who need it, yet I too wish so many people did not force matters to violence. Alas, the world is what it is.

[huntedtyphoon]

Guess you have a point there, I don't think there's any way to get people to stop. It's a rough world so...I think they're all doing the best they can.

[whowillmourn]

In six thousand years, I have not seen a moral way to make people stop. I can handle insults, for most words do not bruise my heart, yet I step in when I must. That is the best course I have determined. You could even say it is simply me doing the best I can, same as anyone else.

[huntedtyphoon]

I hope in six thousand years that things are better on Noman's Land. I hope so anyway.

[whowillmourn]

I may or may not be there to see it, but I hope the same for the Frontier in six thousand years.

[huntedtyphoon]

Yeah, I don't actually know how long I can live? That seems like a long time.

[whowillmourn]

I am not the oldest vampire, but it is a long time to live, and even for someone who can live that long, living that long is another matter.

[huntedtyphoon]

I know. Living a long time is difficult.

[whowillmourn]

Sounds like you've already started it. I hope you find people to make it more bearable, even if only for a time. [ A human lifetime is so short. ]

[huntedtyphoon]

There's a couple of people that I'm close to. But usually, not really. I can't really stick around most of the time.

[whowillmourn]

While I understand not being able to linger in one place, I doubt your reasons are the same as my own. If you do not mind sharing, I would like to inquire why not?

[huntedtyphoon]

I have a bounty on my head and people like to try and collect it and cause a lot of damage to the people around me so it's better not to get caught.

[whowillmourn]

I have repeatedly had a bounty on my head, but as a vampire, most people leave that to vampire hunters. There's no point in them even trying.

It sounds as though you must spend much of your time alone, and I have done the same, so you have my sympathies.

[huntedtyphoon]

I do. I spend time with people when I can. For as long as I can, and when the heat gets too hot I leave. I always come back eventually though.

[whowillmourn]

That is a challenging life, never getting to settle down with people, yet I am familiar. When I came here, I lived alone in the City of the Night, as I have often lived. Alone.

Yet I hope you have some refuge you may return to, to rest and replenish your energy, to have somewhere that is safe or at least safer.

[huntedtyphoon]

I try not to linger there much so that it stays safe. A couple days every twenty years or so, something like that.

I lose track of time sometimes.

[whowillmourn]

[ There's something terrible and possibly worse about the nature of Vash's loneliness. Able to be with people in ways Mayerling cannot but only for a short while, even with those who care for him. So much of Mayerling's existence has been spent alone, but the times he has found people he loves, the times he has people, he truly has them. He is with them for all the time, for as long as they have together. He's sad on Vash's behalf and wishes it could be different, yet that is tragedy. Things are the way they are, and they cannot always be improved. ]

You lack anything to anchor your sense of time, so it makes sense that you would lose it. I wish all my years gave me any insight or advice to make such experiences less terrible, yet nothing that truly makes a difference comes to mind. I can only say that I treasure what good experiences and people I have while I have them, no matter how much losing them pains me later.
