[The feed flicks on to show a young woman, bright green eyes narrowed, black hair falling in a slight mess over her shoulders. She is staring at the video with a mix of confusion and something close to hate and pain. A groan of frustration.] Not another hospital.

I’m…I’m supposed to dead… [She scowls, shaking her head, throwing her room a glance

[He's met men with elongated canines. Men with nothing but sharp teeth, himself included. But a woman with those characteristics was something new. Rin didn't stare, but while he didn't want to bring attention to his own pointed ears and teeth it was a part of him that could not be hidden.]

You're the second undead person. [So many undead people. Welp, so long as they weren't zombies.] Welcome back to life! This isn't hell! [That was supposed to be reassuring, honest.] It's some place called 'Aliunde'.

[Violet almost immediately notices his teeth as he speaks. She blinks, brows furrowing lightly.] Are you a hemophage?

[She pauses, inhaling.] Yeah well, sometimes you wish you could just stay dead. [Bitter much?]

Aliunde. Right.

Hemo-what? [Let's see that sounds like a Latin word blah blah blah... yeah he's not getting it.]

[He does, however, notice that pause. He won't make a comment on that remark.]

S'true! It was crawling with demons not too long ago.

Hemophage. [She frowns again.] Guess if you don't know it, it's not really important.

Demons? [She raises a dubious brow.] Seriously?

Back where I come from? We have different definitions for...demons, vampires. What do you mean, demons? [She was a hemophage, but the public new her kind as 'vampires'. She isn't a vampire in the strictest of terms-- she's sick. It's an incurable disease that causes vampire-like symptoms. But instead of drinking blood, they need constant transfusions. The public, of course, twisted everything, according to what the government said, and ergo-- monsters-- used to be just as human as the rest of them.]

[He wanted to know anyway, but if she wasn't going to say then she wasn't going to say. Her doubt wasn't making things any better.]

Demons. Real demons. Where I'm from, demons are created by Satan. They're attracted to the negative energy and emotions in people. Most of them are monstrous but others ... others are a little more complex. Not all of them are senseless. Others are princes and kings. What do you mean "vampires"?

[He says this as nonchalantly as he could but he was as involved with the conversation. Rin counted as one of those "princes", a fact he constantly denied no matter how often it was shoved in his face.]
