Eve nodded, adding the possibility that the family the servant served was not all-male, "Or Mistresses." But that was not what she wanted to ask. "My name is Eve Grey... May I ask which part of this region do you come from? Being stuck with a home-grounded Master doesn't allow me to travel much." She indicated to the maid's dress, which did not seem to be made from local materials.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Kelvyn did not like being used as a messenger boy much so he decided to speak with Kerry for a bit before wandering the manor. "What is it like in the east?"<br/><br/>"Slums, triads, probably one of the worst places to be in. But I'm not saying that this place is perfect. You Westerners have all the good stuff when you're there." Kiritsugu blew a plume of blue smoke and watched as it curled in the night air, "Be yourself. That's all you can do to live on, unless you want to grovel at the feet of people's expectations of you."<br/><br/>Kelvyn was silent for over a minute then he asked again, "Did you really mean humans were treated as equals to vampires in the far east."<br/><br/>"Yes. Word for word. Actually, we are seen as extremely valuable assets for triads... or dangerous threats, depending of you are on which sides you're on."<br/><br/>"So you're a triad member?"<br/><br/>"Good god. So much questions." He growled, "Yes and no. I can work as a triad member for a set of time although I much rather work in small groups. Security in numbers is a false security, I prefer to be an unknown factor because you see, people fear. They fear the unknown, they fear what they cannot control. Like death, what's behind it?" Kiritsugu clammed up pretty much from there, more than convinced that he had given the lad enough to think for the coming weeks. Just as Kelvyn turned to leave, Kiritsugu warned, "Control your tongue."<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Kelvyn was confused to say the least. How could humans be equal to vampires? And the best part was that he did not have anyone to talk to about his questions. Talking to Kiritsugu and his father was completely out of the question and talking to servants was a no-no... for now.<br/><br/>He re-entered the manor and began wandering, what his father had described as a bad habit. When he finally stopped, he found that his feet had brought him back to the grand hall once again. He entered the hall, glancing around to see if his father was around. No, he was not present. Where was he? Kelvyn continued until he saw one of the vampiresses from yesterday, who seemed to be as idle as he was at the moment so he slipped over to her. "Good evening, miss. You seem to like horses, don't you?"
