"Yes, Yeoja Avalai?" Taeyang inquired, keeping himself bowed as per usual until she accepted his presence. He always found it odd how his upbringing when human and his now engrained vampiric instincts made him so...docile to those he acknowledged as above him. Not that Avalai didn't deserve it; the length of her existence alone showed her strength, and her seat waiting for her next to Dracula's in his castle said much about her overall importance in this world.

"If I may lend an ear, of course." He finished, raising his eyebrow and keeping his eyes on the ground in respect.
