*Vlad hesitantly entered, glancing to her near empty glass, the bottle in plain view. Still standing, he offered gently.*
"Would you like me to refresh your glass, my lady?"

*She nodded.*
"Thank you. I'd offer you some, but I imagine you don't drink."

"Not that. No." *Vlad's eyes were gentle as he filled the glass and offered it to her.*
"Though I appreciate your hospitality."
*Vlad sat, keeping his noble demeanor.*
"You say that your husband is missing? Perhaps I might be of service in the location of him."

"I'd be grateful, but it might have been his choice. Being married to me can't have been easy for him."

*Vlad looked deeply perplexed.*
"Why would you say such a thing? Any man to win such a lovely woman...he should could his blessings."

"You would not say that if you knew."
*Irene sighed*
"It's a long and rather unpleasant story, but my husband has had to defend me many times from men- well, men like you."

"Like me?" *Vlad looked a bit surprised by her comment.*
"No offense intended, my lady, but why would you need defense from me?"

*Vlad's body tightened in the unexpected outing of his nature.*
"You...would know of my kind?"
*He found it difficult to understand that a human would notice it on sight.*

"My husband is one."
*She stared ahead at the fireplace*
"It was my fault he was turned. He doesn't blame me, but he should."

*Vlad's eyes were intense.*
"I...I am sorry. I will not inquire further if it pains you to speak on it."

"Thank you. But when you first came, and I was frightened of you...I haven't had good experiences with-"

*Vlad's body tightened, uncomfortable at being outed.*
"I...I did not mean to upset you. It is just...you remind me of my wife."
*He lifted a hand in his defense.*
"I mean it only in compliment. But...when I can see you, I...I feel more alive than I have in a long time."

"Oh..."
*She'd known what it was to lose a loved one, even if her husband had risen from the grave*
"I'm sorry."

*Vlad shook his head.*
"It was...a long time ago."
*He smiled gently.*
"And yet, it still pulls at me. I only want to see you smile. Like she did."
