Hello Eugene.

W-Well done, Vampire. Saying hello is good. But here's a word of advice. You need to say it first thing, before you bite me. You'll come across a lot better if you don't begin every interaction with biting.

Why delay? I already know you'll let me do it.

You're a good and kind person, after all. If I don't drink blood, I'll die, and you wouldn't want me to die, would you?

Oh... You know me better than I realised. I am a very good person... Yes, it's far more ethical for me to donate blood to you than to let it to be taken from some helpless victim. Of course.

Good. Now, I have a task for you.

What is it?

I am about to have a buddy... I do not want a buddy. I hate competition. I hate copycats.

Heh, that's ironic.

Interrupt me again and I'll kill you.

...

I am the one and only ruler of this city, the only heir to the Way-Wind. I do not want a rival.

There is a particular newcomer who I will help you find. Kill her before she can make the contract. And don't let anyone trace it to me.

Look, I can see that you feel very strongly about this new person. But if she can make a contract with your god... killing a potential ally doesn't sound very productive, does it now?

Don't need to think about it, Eugene. Just get it done. It's important. Trust me.

You trust me, right, Eugene? I'm the one that got you into the Company. I look just like you. I'm just a guy like you.

It is hard to say no to a face like that...
