[ A very simple message is on the network, today. Only one sentence, from an anonymous source.. ]

Are there any among the transports who play a musical instrument?

Books about myself and my friends exist in other worlds. Maybe that's what's happened with yours.

[ A slight pause. ]

What an odd coincidence.

[ He has no reason not to believe her. Though, he does have to ask... ]

You showed no reaction to me claiming to be a vampire. Why is that?

Vampires exist in my world, and in other worlds as well. It's no stranger than my being a witch.

I see. And you do not fear them?

There's no reason for me to fear them. If they are hostile, I can defend myself. If they mean me no harm, then I would welcome them as a friend.

You don't find a vampiric diet inherently 'hostile'?

No. I've known vampires who find a way to drink blood without hurting anyone.

The blood has to be extracted somehow. Though, I'll grant you that some ways of doing that are less painful and more safe than others.

True. But whichever method they use, I wouldn't hold that against them. Prejudice and fear just shows ignorance.

You remind me very much of another mortal I knew. Though, she is now a vampire herself.

Is that so...? I hope you mean the comparison as a compliment.

Of course.

In that case, thank you.

You are very welcome. Receiving a compliment from me should be quite an honor.
