"Ahh... I understand.." *So it was similar to a contract of sorts with a deity. Her response to Raizen was a little comical, but also concerning.* "It is far to dangerous for you to bare his child right now, for we are roaming lands umknown. An infant would bring naught but chaos." *Folding her hands neatly in her lap, she'd nod.* "Eh? Usually, romance is pre-determined for us with arranged spouses for the benefit of the colony. How does marital responsibilities function from where your from?" *Obviously there existed a tradition somewhere, otherwise she would be here.*
Esther
"Well my family did try to arrange a marriage once, but I denied that and was summoned to this world, also... I didn't mention anything about baring his children... That must just be on your mind~"

*She giggled as she looked to the two*

"My my... You both are thinking of such lewd thing~"
Charles
*Smiles softly listening to the conversation she didn't really want to be apart of talking about children and the such. It ticked a nerve inside her body in her head which almost made her snap and kill everyone or at least try to but her urges we're suppressed deciding best to just answer ai* `"I feel I must say... Even though I choose not to pursue any romantic relationships, because I am in service to the blood flame. I would rather be dead and serve the blood flame in my grave then be forced to marry someone who I know nothing about, all I hear from the nobles must strengthen the bloodline better position yourselves for the future for the 'Safety' of the house."` 

*She began to mock the nobles, lords and ladies, even the royals.* `"They are less then dogs as even dogs get to choose which dog they get to mate with. There the worst scum of the earth forcing there own children to marry another depriving them of there free will. This is why I study in the ways of the blood flame."` *Kneeling down slowly as blood began to spiral around her slowly a blood book began to form* `"This book is the book of values, honor, loyalty, the ways of the blade the ways of the blood flame."`

*Opening the book as it became a solid object the front cover had a sword that was burning in red blood, with a golden arc between the middle of the blade* `"No one shall compel another wether it is one's own kin to marry another that is unfamiliar. Those who take part in such heresy shall be put to the blade for depriving another of basic free will and choice this being absolute."`

*She nodded while reading the book it would seem as if she was a hardcore fanatic someone who was deeply involved with her own beliefs.* `"Now miss ai from what I read it will make sense for what I'm about to say, marriage is scared among the people who walk the path of the blood flame those who violate such a sacred pact for a sense of gain, protection, or"`

`"Position or exploitation should be put to the sword. This is the way."` *She bowed her head to show she meant no disrespect to ai or her beliefs.*
Alice
*Both? She said both of them? What on earth. She'd instantly cross her arms to form an X. She wasn't going to be having children any time soon... There was a whole world out there she wanted to uncover. That aside, she'd give a small chuckle as Ysildea explained her views on nobles.* "You and Faedon are practically identical. Do all who walk the path of the blood flame carry a hatred for nobles?" *Genuine question. As she listened, she didn't listen with judgement or bias... People were raised or brought up with different beliefs and that was fine as long as they weren't hurting anyone.* "It is good to be passionate about what you believe in."
Charles
*Slowly set the book on her lap, little did ai know this pretty looking face was nothing but innocent, or what she portrays herself to be she had filled streets with bodies, taverns with blood, castles with corpse's. Taking a soft sigh lowering her head before nodding* `"Most of us do. Because we know the struggle of living under said nobles. They care nothing but for there coin. For races that don't come from generational wealth and don't live hundreds of years like vampires no offense to you the chances of ever getting out of your situation of being poor is slim to none. I'm not saying you can't make a simple living or survive. You can you can find jobs everywhere but will it be enough to ever get you out of your standing no, I know this because unlike others I was not coddled away hidden from the world I was thrust into it as a slave."` *She lowered her dress turning her back towards Ai to reveal a slave crest mark on her back it was used with a iron rod to mark slave property.*
Esther
Raizen:*She just pouted and sat back up with a sigh changing back to her normal form, she listened to the two talk thinking of nobles was a headache with what her family were like*

"Are we just telling our stories now?...Come onnn I'm bored~"
Alice
"Ah... I see." *Human nobles sounded less to be desired, but she'd not forget that garbage came in all colors. There were vampric nobles who were less than favorable as well.* "I am sorry you had such a life, but your scars do not-" *Looking over to Raizen, she ceased her words of encouragement and looekd down at her hands.* "Ah... My apologies..." *She hadn't even said anything about her life, but she would try to change the topic.* "Well, what would you like to do for entertainment? I've got a bit of a ways to go until I am fully recovered... So I am not sure how much I will be of assistance." *She didn't really have any skills apart from sewing, and an instrument that she didn't have on hand.* "The night is still young... Perhaps you might gind something interesting to do outside?" *Just a suggestion... She was doing her best here.*
Charles
*Slowly moved her dress back over her back to cover the scars she began to meditate as blood formed around her once more in a spiral to hone her senses she spoke calmly* `"I need no pity, I am not looking for pity. This is just life it is how the world is run I accept it for what it is. I don't cry about I just keep living, killing, getting what's owed to me in blood."` *She spoke as she smiles revealing her sharp two front teeth and bottom ones they weren't to big just minor sharp teeth.* `"Can we skin a noble alive for entertainment?"` *She asked giving her opinion on the matter* `"Or go out and kill people that are trying to hurt those that don't deserve it?"`
Alice
*She would climb out of bed to retrieve ine of the books she had been reading on cooking, and crawled back in and set it on her lap.* "You'd have to travel quite a ways to find any nobles around here.." *She sift through the pages to find where she had last left off.* "But you've got the power of free will, so you can do what you please" *Why even ask? Oh! This one had a section on boiled tomatoes. She could learn how to make pasta sauce! It looked like blood... Therefore she was instantaneously interested. Throughout this whole book her favorite pictures were of medium rare steak or tomatoes. Luckily for her she had fed not too long ago but if she hadn't, this book would make her hungry.*
Charles
`"Your right, I was asking because I don't know anything about this nation was hoping you had anything that may help. Oh! I remember you said in your culture you marry for better position in the colony. Do you have free will to do as you so please? If your forced to marriage?"` *She asked interested in this she wanted to know more about Ai she couldn't become friends with someone she knew nothing about, seeing ai having little to no interest to what she has suggested she would just move on from the conversation.*
Alice
*Quietly turning a page, she would have to correct her on one point.* "My position doesn't improve at all should I marry. Arranged marriages happen for the benefit of the colony... Not one person." *She would lift her head from her book and try to explain with her hands* "For an example, if you're from a large clan, and I'm from a large clan... And the two of us marry, we'd form a huge union that benefits our standing with our allies and against our enemies." *There were more, but she'd give the two most common.* "Or... If your family and my family were at odds or at war, and we were to marry... Then those qualms diminish and it releases the tension within the colony. A single person doesn't benefit from the arrangement, but rather many do."

 *Since arranged marriages within vampiric society was seen as a duty or a high responsibility, very rarely did any make a fuss to avoid it.* "Come spring will be my time where I will be of age to become a candidate.." *She didn't want to, as the world seemed far more appealing.* "There are two ways to negate that from happening. One, I die." *Because you couldn't really marry a dead person.* "Two..." *She'd wave her hand so that she could whisper it into her ear.*
Charles
*She tilted her head confused what was ai talking about? She thought she... Shaking her head she listened and chalked it up to her not being totally direct about her questions.* `"Oh I know I said my question to vaguely."` *Is what she would say but was still good learn about her culture it was basically similar if not completely identical to humans what a stupid thing to do she thought to herself.* 

*As she was being waved over she came closer closing her own book and sitting next to ai with a soft smile she wondered why ai needed to whisper it she began to think about it why couldn't ai say it out allowed all that was here was that succubus and Faedon maybe it was Faedon? She was scared he would find out?*
Alice
*Ai revealed that the second thing, would be to have her petals removed. Once the bride to be was no longer a virgin, the wedding could not be consummated, thusly making it null and void. It was a finicky topic, and she didn't like discussing it, but that was the second condition to excuse her from marital responsibilities within the vampiric society. So, almost exactly like the laws of humans only the humans seemed to fade away from the concept of virgin brides where as vampires remained more traditional.* "And so I was plotting ways that I could potentially fake my death.." *She had the deadline of spring to do it, but she hadn't exactly fathomed how to pull that off. She had tossed around a couple of ideas here and there but nothing was set in stone.* "That will free me of my responsibilities, and I will be able to travel the world unhindered."
Charles
*Was confused her face turned to look at ai she wasn't the best or knew what really to say on the terms of advice why couldn't she just... Not fake her death... Not have her petals remove and just live life and if someone tried to stop her kill them? Maybe she couldn't kill them because they were family... Was killing not a solution for everything...?* `"Uh... Why not kill whoever tries to stop you from living life...? It's what I do..?"` *It was obvious she may need some guidance on being more merciful...* `"I think you will make the best decision for what you believe is right for you. Even if it is wrong entirely to other's. However if you make some decisions I think Faedon... Will question you about stuff and call you out on dumb things you may do or decide I will not. Unless you ask me to. I prefer to just try and be a good support instead of giving advice.."`
Alice
*Her solution was valid she'd give her that... For basically anyone more powerful than Ai which was not hard to find* "I couldn't kill a werewolf Ysildea..." *She'd say with a very deadpan expression.* "That, and everyone I care for around me would die. They would absolutely die, and I'm just not emotionally able to take that gamble." *Ah yes, sure, kill thousands of ancient vampires so far advanced in power and stature. Oh how realistic that was. One elder, just one, would wipe them all out.*

"I appreciate the advice, but if killing them were an option for me I would have no qualms resorting to that. But it is not. So I'm left with two options, and I think my idea was the most feasible." *When it came down to it, she was only able to come this far because they **Let** Her come this far. They knew exactly where she was... It wasn't hard, and news traveled very fast.*
