"As I've said to you sometime ago. Vampires are but a handful. While humans arrive by the thousands each day, we are few. But just like humans, we seek to grow and thrive. To combat this, Vampires have evolved to increase our numbers in more ways than one. Why would a Vampire allow a human to become a Vampire? Perhaps it can be attributed to a instinctive need for our race to survive. And that is true." Armata takes another moment to sip his wine and refills his goblet.

"But there is another reason. Just like humans, we hate to let go of people we care. Humans can indeed befriend a Vampire, it isn't uncommon in my realm. Humans have a mutual relationship with Vampires. Vampires control the world and it's land, humans need that land to expand upon. And we need them. So the Vampire council devised a system of give and take with humans who settle our lands. Because of this, humans and Vampires interact often. These interactions have forged great friendships, and sometimes more. It isn't uncommon for a Vampire to offer a mortal friend their own blood."

"For a Vampire, losing a someone is amplified. A mortal loses a friend, they move on and heal. A Vampire dwells, after all, we live infinitely longer with the lose."
