Another day, another party. Such was the life of nobility and the upper classes, always plotting, always making connections, making enemies, making allies, sometimes a friend or two amid the veiled threats and underhanded promises and back alley dealings. Such was how countries ran, in spite of...

The ringing of blades echoed around the clearing and bounced off the standing stones. Lionel managed to keep hold of his sword but he was still left open to the blade of his opponent as it aimed for his head. While he was pleased that this human had confidence in the skill of his opponent, to...

It was an interesting blade, while he couldn't guess its exact construction he could sense the silver and enchantments in it, this was a vampire slaying sword, different from his true silver blade that he uses against vampires but similar. He nodded, "I'd be honored to teach you a few things."...

His smile softened. He was touched, even a man who kills monsters has a heart for a woman. And being the heir to a Duchy meant him and his spouse would be well off. Jürgen Kaiser, that was his name. A self proclaimed king of vampires. A final head to add to his list as his crowning glory...

Hmmmm, so powerful vampires exist in Arethil, though not so powerful that a human stood a chance of killing them provided the human has aid. During his time in Arethil he met only one vampire that might have come close to this level of strength, that vampire king with the blood stone. Given time...

He was merely being cordial, but the knight tried to take advantage of the moment he took to politely speak. Their blades were locked but the knightling attempted a thrust anyways, a feint just as easily diverted as it is executed, by simply applying a little pressure to the base of the blade...

Lionel let the knight attack first. Powerful attacks delivered with great speed, still at human levels but Lionel played the part he committed to. He kept up with the attacks, taking the defensive as the slashes came at him one after the other. He knew just how to block to redirect the attacks...

In some situations, such as speaking with vampire hunters, these questions would be traps. Vampire hunters are rarely famous or widely known except among the desperate, their own kind, or vampires. So for someone to know of the existence of a single individual hunter their knowledge would have...

Lionel's reaction to the quick response of the knight of merely stopping the blade was to be impassive. By simply turning his wrist he could have diverted the tip of the sword away, but from one swordsman to another he knew there was no intent behind the thrust and therefore allowed the point of...

Devoted to gods, noted. Bound by duty, noted. He was intent to not allow himself to be distracted and normally Lionel would have happily obliged, as interesting as he knew humans to be he found that he often had little patience for further investigation beyond what he could discern by looking...

Observing... Yes, observing, as his kind was meant to do for some unknown reason... Watchers of the world but untouched by it... He observed from outside the stone circle as the sun began its slow decline of late afternoon. A man who's every aspect was pure white, from his clothes and skin...

No problem, just clarifying!

Jürgen Kaiser Khali is speaking with the ladies, not Jürgen. Lionel is on his way to do that.

He smiled again, it seemed to be an expression that came to his face easily and often if not intermittently. "I'm afraid I'm not the host this evening. Perhaps in the future when I've established my house I will have the location and means to host a soiree of my own. I'll be sure to invite you...
