*Dracula's expression grew stern.*
"She will respect you, and you will honor her. It is important that all of my brides can share a house and live in harmony."

*Malefica smiled and looked up at him.*
"I have no problem honoring other people, Vladislaus. It's being commanded into doing things I don't want to do I have problems with. As long as they respect me, I will respect them. Mutual respect. Is that too much to ask?"

"Of course not."
*He answered simply, his mind moving on past it for a moment.*
"But there may be times when I would have to submit to my will. Are you saying you will not do so?"

*Malefica snuggled closer to him and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.*
"There are only one thing I ask of you: Do not harm my children. If you try to do so, I might be forced to fight you. In anything else, I will do what you ask of me. Is that too much to ask?"

"No." *He spoke plainly. If for some reason things were required...there were ways around things.*
"I love children. I see no reason to hurt yours."

*Malefica smiled and nodded friendly.*
"Good. I am very protective when it comes to my children. I will do anything in my power to protect them from harm. I am a mother hen."

*A small smile curled his lips.*
"Then you will serve the household well. I am hoping for a very large family, in the end."

*Malefica smiled and embraced him warmly.*
"I hope I will be capable of helping you out. How large do you want your family to be? And for what purpose?"

*He leaned back to observe her, his eyes curious.*
"Does one need a purpose to have a family?"

*Malefica laughed and looked up at him.*
"No, not really. But many people get large families just to make sure that someone will take care of them when they get old. That is also a kind of purpose."

"I will never grow old." *His eyes were almost sad.*
"And neither will you."
*He smiled, brushing back her hair.*
"But a family is creation...something that dead flesh is eager to do."

*Malefica smiled and embraced him lovingly, looking deep into his almost sad eyes.*
"Never growing old... isn't that a good thing? When we will have to live forever anyway, we might as well be young, and strong enough to take care of ourselves."
*She gave him a smile and kissed his cheek, then allowed a small fingertip to caress the skin of his chest.*
"It is not only dead flesh that is eager to create families...."

*His brow lifted.*
"How do you mean?"

*She looked up at him with a glimpse of humor in her eyes.*
"All creatures are eager to reproduce themselves, in order for their race to survive. Surely you know that."

*He stared back at her, trying to make her understand.*
"My...kind...do not copulate to reproduce. Or at least..."
*He nodded in clarification.*
"It is not required to do so."
