A cocky grin extends over his face as she speaks of his extraordinary powers, and even the fact that he was 'interesting' in general. His pride got the best of him, like many mages, although he was certain to be subtle with it and not let it interfere with things. But that didn't mean he wouldn't enjoy his abilities or standing being spoken of.<br/><br/>"I am glad you think so highly of me", he begins, "I am far too used to vampires seeing mages as nothing but mortals with magic that are still nothing but food that's harder to catch"<br/><br/>As the light adjusted, the black glow that had overtaken his eyes lessened, his sight now back to normal level, rather than relying on magic, like a mage must do, since they don't have inbuilt nocturnal abilities like a vampire would.<br/><br/>"Indeed....you seem to be one of the more powerful sorts of vampires. I know that the elders are generally less likely to feed first and ask questions later. Unlike several others I met at the same time", then smirking, "But, to put it as you did, they won't bother me anymore", he says<br/><br/>"Tell me...do any of the other elders know you brought an archmage here? I assume that would generally be frowned upon unless you planned to kill me", he says, blinking, "But then I imagine you would have done so when you first saw me if that was your intent, rather than allowing me to prepare"
