[@Earnest Evans] ??? Well, thank you for the compliment but... uh... I'm not sure if you know how a thrall works o3o The oxford dictionary defines it as "the state of being in someone's power or having great power over someone." In this case, I use the former of the definition. In legend, to be [i]a [/i]Thrall to a vampire or a demon (usually of the Succubus/Incubus nature, which vampires are a class derived from it in lore) was to be a servant to the being in question and to enjoy it by the benefits reaped by it. (See: Sex or, as I've used it here, to drink the vampires blood. In some stories that's how someone becomes bound to be a vampires servant or thrall is to actually drink the vampires blood and not the other way around. Vampire bite to kill, or vampire blood to keep alive and as a servant.) And usually, as illustrated by my post a little while back, servants are more than willing to literally kill themselves should the being they have residence under desire it. I'm not going to pretend I understand all the biology of it, it is just lore, but this is how I've always understood thralls to work. In my post, I didn't really mention them saying that they deserved anything or that they felt necessarily good about it, but that it was just a job that happened to come with some good perks. It is true that she asked to dispel any guilt about the whole situation; but the will of a thrall here is free. Some thralls in legend DO have varying degrees of free will, which is how I can see you may have interpreted it, but they're pretty free in this case. Hence, his rather realistic and neutral answer. It's just a job. He can go home if he wants, anyone can really be employed by Avalai if they have what she looks for. (*cough* if they're cute enough and she likes them in bed) That being said, Avalai is still not a good person >3> By any means of the imagination. She's pretty fucked up. It's better to be her thrall and protect your family than to oppose her and have everyone you love die. Thrall Neutrality works well here though because this rp is meant to be a comedy. I'm just glad Avalai can bring a little darkness to it ;3
