[An irritated hiss as she grumbles to herself. Water can be heard like she's on the fountain.]

Tch. What place is this to drag me away? Strange scents...This is not home. I do not know of this place at all. Home is where...

[She cries out sharply in agony.]

Master...Master! My sisters! Gone and stolen away. [Some sobbing follows before she screams.] Crawling with humans. [Her disgust over the fact is clear in the way she spits out the word.] All here but no family. [A long pause before she suddenly starts giggling and the device is discovered by her. And she starts to speak sweetly to it.]

Oh~? What is this thing~? Not what I might recognize. [Another giggle.] So silly and pathetic a thing with its little light. [Giggling some more.] But no matter with the little box.

[Her voice seems to coo at those around her as she calls out to them instead. The box is useless to her so there is no need to address if further.] Come play with me~ Show me where you have taken Master and I will make it fun~ For all of us~ [She giggles again as the recording stops.]

To sneak is so dull.

[A pause and she looks at him again, a smile tugging at her lips.]

Unless it is made into a game.

Anything not done freely is dull.

[ He grins back. He likes games~ ]

What sort of games have you in mind?

Hurry to me and I will share.

[ Excuse him a moment. Swooping over to the Fountain~ ]

[Have one soaking wet bride stepping out of the water to look upon him curiously now that he's hear.]

So pretty.

I should be the one saying that~

[ Offering a hand out of polite courtesy. ]

Not bothered by any pesky humans, I trust?

[ There's so many in this City. It's intolerable. ]

They smell so terrible. Water washed the smell away.

[She takes his hand and touches his hair with another. If they're the same kind then they're like family in her eyes.]

Where is this place we will hunt?

It's below the City.

[ He allows the touch. Usually it's something he'd only permit from Diva. But he doesn't mind it from those he likes - or those Diva does. And Marishka did prove most charming company during her last visit. ]

We could hunt aboveground. But there's often noisy humans who call for reinforcements.

[ He hates it. But with Diva here - pregnant - he's learnt to be a bit more discreet. Why risk any harm coming her way? ]

I do not wish to be hunted again.

[She touches her skin as if remembering pain there.]

[ Her hand had felt cool in his. He'd dismissed it as from being in the water. But now... ]

Contemptible.

Who would dare hunt such a lovely lady as you?

A vile man and his pet Holy man.

[She curls her lip in disgust.]

[ Intrigued. ]

A Holy man? A priest?

...What was done to you?

Arrows with blessed water!

[She lets out a cry.]

Stolen from my eternal death!

Holy water.

[ Putting two and two together. Definitely City Dead. And, it seems, a real Vampire from legends. ]

[ The next remark very nearly makes him wince. ]

You as well. The Deities snatched you up. Not letting you rest after death.

[ 8( ]

Master gave me death and life at once. I long to be in that death so unholy and dark.

You were given the gift by a 'Master'?

Who?

My precious Master. Dracula. I am his bride.

[ Startled. ]

Dracula? The Dracula?

[ He lets off a little laugh. At least the Deities have some taste. Maybe things are starting to look up in this dingy City?]

[ He offers a bow. Half-playful, half-deferential. ]

Do forgive me.

I didn't realize I was addressing a Countess~

[ In legend, Dracula had three brides. Perhaps that one he met - Marishka's 'sister' - was one of them. ]

[She watches him curiously.]

So polite.

I serve a Queen. I was taught to defer.

[ Although he reserves the bulk of his deference for Diva. ]

Your Master is a legend, in my world. But only in books.

The only 'vampires' where I come from are Chiropterans.

I do not know of this word...

[She moves past him, water dripping off her and her bare feet silent on the ground.]

I long to dance in blood. Let us hunt.

Agreed.

[ They can compare notes another time. ]

I'm certain we can find some sweet and pretty ones. Ones who make the loudest screams~

[She grins.]

Yes.
