[It would be so sad for D to snap Liem’s neck like a toothpick in his own house. We can all be glad that this possibility never came to pass.
At D’s elaboration on the blood pills, Liem’s brows draw together in a slight frown. He says Frontier vampires, but that shouldn’t matter in Kenos, should it? It shouldn’t matter, unless “dhampir” means something very different for D than he’d thought.]
For you, as well…?
[Liem rises when D does, ready to be a polite host and show him to the door so he can put all his ominous goth overwear back on. Still, he is troubled by the implications of what D has told him. Is D just… a living man with the powers of a vampire? Also, if Frontier vampires become strong with age, how long has D been hunting them, to be as strong as he is?]
Vampires of my world do not need to bite someone to enslave their will. But— I have never had that power, regardless.
[Just like he doesn’t have most of the vampires’ other powers, even now that he’s gained regeneration and the ability to crawl on ceilings. No will-crushing powers for him, no life-draining claws or bite, no turning into a cloud of mist or a wolf or a bat, no summoning swarms of vermin or packs of beasts. He really has always been, for the most part, just a pointy-toothed guy for most of his life.]
