Aderyn shrugged, since the vampire feeling didn't matter so much. It was simply that the vampire was not food, therefore the vampire was not a person. To have such a simple and obvious fact questioned made her angry because it was questioning her honor, her ability. Neo saying she was too proud though... well her anger seemed to fade and a mischievous smile grew on her face. Her tone was light and teasing as she mocked words that could have come from Raven's lips, "Well when you're a superior being<span style="font-style: italic">human</span>, it isn't pride, it is fact." Despite the teasing tone it was difficult to tell if she was serious behind it, if that was her belief, or if she was mocking the vampire, or perhaps attempting to incite Neo. What was clear was that conflict did seem to amuse the pair of them.<br/><br/>Islwyn glanced up from the drone and agreed in his seemingly always cheerful tone, "There is that.<span style="font-style: italic">Addy</span>does know what she is capable of I would imagine, and you do not." He seemed quite delighted to call his sister by the nickname Neo gave her, and she rolled her eyes. It only make his smile wider.<br/><br/>Having both supported and annoyed his sister at once, Islwyn turned back to Rattus and the drone. "While this does seem an impressively useful machine, I mean more the future. Or once having discovered that which you are curious about, do feel nothing more need be done?" He tilted his head slightly to the side and his smile shifted from charming to shark-like. "Not that I mind if you leave it to the rest of us to deal with. Information is always a good start."<span style="font-style: italic">If that is all you are capable of</span>his tone left hanging in the air. Once more it was impossible to tell if he was being patronizing or simply trying to tease.<br/><br/>Islwyn did much as Aderyn had done to Yukina, shifted subtly too close, attracting Rattus' aura toward him, though he made no move to touch it. Nor did he seem to be doing harmful, though minor amounts of energy would fall to him. What he was doing, was letting the understanding of the meaning behind the words come to him. They were not the most modernized of creatures, but it would be impossible to tell, because they absorbed so much.<br/><br/>When Beth spoke Islwyn licked his lips and glanced to his sister, "<span style="font-style: italic">Addy</span>?" She narrowed her eyes at him and then shifted closer to Beth. "He wants me to say that we have things that do this. I think it is not one of our things, but we have all noticed missing. If it attracts energy to itself and grows in power... then more will feel it, more will be taken, and it will grow still more in power." She twitched her shoulders, not quite a shrug. "It should be considered that this thing or the person behind it would like it if it were felt from afar." As she moved closer to her brother it seemed the energy that passed between them became stronger.<br/><br/>Islwyn watched the conversation about a gun for himself with apparent amusement. When the senator gave permission he finally spoke, "I confirm that he is, in this case, not a liar. Though if you want that paper... cash.. my sister probably has what you need." The air of devilry about him intensified, and he walked a gold coin across his knuckles, "Or you could have this." Honest and true faerie gold, as substantial as mist in time.<br/><br/>Naturally he didn't feel the need to mention he just wanted it because it was interesting and fun. He already knew guns didn't work underhill. So not being able to practice with a thing, for the sake of involving himself in the 'madness' it was likely not that useful. Still, you never knew what could be useful.<br/><br/>"Does it help or make worse if it is already known I'm not human?" He was after all, looking appropriately human at the moment.<br/><br/>Aderyn answered him dryly, "I'm sure it doesn't help for him, it is likely they didn't write their laws saying that it is only for humans."<br/><br/>Islwyn shrugged and grinned again, seeming to be unaffected cheerful at all times.
