Well, I am conversing with a cat and plotting a surprise a certain vampire

Indeed, it was much overdue. I am fine for the moment, I cannot say the same for a few of my comrades.

I have been told it is proper human etiquette. You appear to be trustworthy. I do hope I do not regret this however, hugging a vampire doesn't sound exactly pleasing.

I will take that as a compliment. I am still unfamiliar to the "slang" of the area. My gratitude.

Of course, keep it. There are several of the species here, they are fairly easy to behead as well.

Believe in them? I rule an oligarchy alongside a ghost. You are very ignorant.

No, why do you ask?

I'm afraid I'm not wearing, a "helm", as you describe...

Excuse me?

I have a few on my mind. I have close relations with them.
