An announcement I should have made a while ago.

I'm vampir. If you're ab-dead, undead, living dead, whatever the fuck, I will offer you at least my ear and the benefit of my doubt, particularly if you are young, hungry, or newly-arrived. This is hardly rational of me; just an old man's old habit. Take advantage, if you will, of my extended patience, but don't weigh too hard on it.

I'd also add my voice to that of the Lady Grell, and reiterate the point she made during the Samhain festivities, given that the old god-dog has requested our service. Don't fuck with the Black Shuck. He comes to all of us in time. You will have ample time to regret being disrespectful towards him.

[He sighs, kicks back, presses his fingers to the bridge of his nose.] Finally, I need information on the Sisterhood of Nymphs and I don't have time to squint at the scribblings of ancient scholars and other lunatics. The Pyrii, specifically.

Go. Anything you know. [Eyes closed; he is clearly asking to be regaled rather than engaged in conversation.]

[PRIVATE TO EFFY:]

Don't know how long I'll be free. Do you still want to learn how to fight?

Why the interest, if I may ask?

I have some business with them. Rude, I think, to try to conduct it without the barest thought to understanding their ways.

I'd almost almost hope it was urgent. Unless there was something arranged--and even then--it seems you picked the most volatile of them, if you're not just making a social call.

[A rasping and rather humourless laugh.]

Ah, well. I don't like to make things easy for myself.

I mean no harm to them, I can promise you that.

[well, you're getting engaged in conversation regardless. deal with it.]

Feeling kind today?

[He refuses to move, staying reclined back in his seat, lazily massaging the bridge of his nose with his eyes still firmly shut.

Sighing:]

Few people realise it, but I am an extraordinarily kind man.

[could have fooled him.]

Perhaps all the bloodshed and vulgarities give them the wrong idea.

[Cracking an eye open:]

I said I was kind, not polite.

[Sooo dry, mouth hitched up in a faint, wolfish grin. He's...actually in quite a good mood. He's been spending his nights digging recently, focusing on the hard physical work of shifting what bones he can and thinking over his plans. It's probably worrying that opening graves feels like a pleasant relief, but he'll take his relaxation where he can find it.]

I do. When can we do it?

[now, she's hoping.]

Sooner rather than later. My future plans are uncertain and I could do with some exercise that isn't digging up the dead. It's so terribly fucking morbid.

[Says the dead man.]

[that's ironic.]

Sure. Really not into that, anyway.

No? Squeamish?

What would you like to know, sir?

How does one befriend a nymph?

Better yet, what does one offer a nymph in exchange for her help? I find trade easier than friendship.

[Silence. Lancelot had never been asked this question, before--]

...It certainly is an odd question to ask. What sort of nymph do you need to befriend and why?

Safe to say I could use a favour from the Pyrii.

I left the Black Shuck a bone with the marrow still inside.

[ DID HE DO GOOD BRUCOLAC DID HE ]

He will come even for gods, in time.

[YOU DID SO GOOD YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD GOD]

I'm sure he appreciated it.

You can die, then?

[ YAAAAAAY ]

It was gone when I checked again.

[ With a big fucking pawprint left behind, but whatever. ]

I am not the first god of the Void. I may not be the last.

Not really related [ as far as he knows ], but I found out the Fox has a daughter.

[ And if anyone should know this, he thinks it's the Brucolac. ]

By fuck, what gods of this world let him breed?

What age? Loyal or rebellious?

I don't know, but they'd clearly been drinking too much.

Grown. Loyal, as far as I can tell, with powerful magic. She was with him when the Drabkeeper's was destroyed.

No one has given you grief so far, I hope?

[ It's a rather strange affirmation now, for her, even if the Black Shuck has asked for the bones to be laid to rest. Besides, she's permitted to fret. ]

Who would dare.

[Wry. He's not the presence he once was; he doesn't hide the fact, though, that he's used to more deference.]

No. No grief, so far. I only worry...that some will harm themselves with their defiance.

Then that is their fault, hardly anyone else's.

[ Her approach is much more cynical. ]

They've had plenty of warning.
