Quest 015

I'm going to have to be very careful of her. I should've known she'd turn out to be a witch; it's like Lolotte all over again--the way she talks, the orders she gives. And that was always the fear, wasn't it? That if anyone can come here, alive or dead...that she could find me? She swore to have her revenge, but there was little to fear from it back home. A dead witch remains dead...but that's not so, not here.

At least I was careful. With any luck, she'll think me nothing more than a silly peasant girl, just like Lolotte did. And if she thinks I'm useful to her, then maybe...no. I'm not about to start making any elaborate plans, not in a place where no one stays dead for long. Especially when the people who know her far better than I are cautioning others against her. I'll have to be very careful, then, won't I...

I don't like this one bit. But it settles one thing; if there was ever a time or a need to learn about magic, it would be now.

Another curse, is it? At least this one isn't so disruptive as the last. After all, there are far worse things than waking up to find a letter emblazoned on the back of your hand.

H
Still, I don't know what it could stand for. If it's supposed to represent a sin, why isn't it an M? Happy? Helpful...?

And speaking of things that start with H--if a Mr. Harry Dresden should chance upon this, I would like to have a word with you, please, sir.


[OOC: Here's the fun thing about morality in King's Quest--killing is bad and nonviolent solutions are best...unless the person you're killing is evil. In which case, it's all good, 'cause they clearly have it coming anyway. Hypocrisy much? This curse thinks so.]

...You're quite well-mannered, for a vampire.

Dracula is supposed to be evil...but he doesn't seem evil...but he's a--but Sam said they're not all--what do I--should I--maybe

You're...then you have no interest in trying to kill me.

I am an aristocrat, who happens to be very damned. It is my nature to be so. Be kind enough to take note that not all vampires are of the barbaric persuasion.

Not unless you give me a reason, child. But judging by your reaction, I doubt that will be the case.

I...have no desire to interfere with your business. We spoke earlier of grudges and animosity; if you have none against me, then I see no reason to begin one between us now. I will take you at your word, that you are not the Count Dracula my father encountered and slew. Many people come here from many different worlds, and to begrudge one based on name and title alone would be...foolish.

But if I or my friends should ever be harmed in the course of your business...well. It goes both ways, doesn't it?

Very good. Though, I would appreciate not being regarded as if I were planning to wipe out the populace at any given second. After all, I did initiate this conversation, Rosella.

If I had any generalized ill will towards you. You would know it.

Seventeen years' worth of fears and beliefs are hard to dismiss on a moment's notice.

Likewise, I've given my word, and I'll stand by it.
