So they were the same people that had been spotted within the city. How curious. Dragan wouldn't quite classify these people as a threat yet, but this was definitely something to watch out for in the future. For now, it seemed the coven of vampire lords and this Society were moving in opposite directions, with one leaving Alavaris and the other entering it. Hopefully, it would stay that way until they had more of an idea what these people wanted. Were they acting of their own free will, or were those humans patsies to some greater power? Questions for later. For now, they still had to maintain their charade with these villagers. 

[color=#B5A642][b]"Is that so? Thank you for the information, then. As well as your generous offer of hospitality."[/b][/color] The vampire lord inclined his head towards Giles, resting his hammer upon his shoulder. [color=#B5A642][b]"Food will not be an issue, as we've our own provisions. But a place to catch our breath before we move on would be most welcome."[/b][/color] 

Were he acting on his own, the grateful populace of a village would be a modest first step towards reestablishing his domains, and Dragan would have revealed his aspect in true without hesitation. But Ichor's mission superseded all. Unfortunate for his ambitions, but he would return in due time. Not even for his own sake, either. In this dark age, the protection of a higher being was more vital than ever for humanity to do something more than merely subsist and cling on to life. Regardless, there was one last piece of advice he would give.

[color=#B5A642][b]"Should that alchemist ever return, I would advise that you and yours kill her. You've more than seen that whatever designs she has are for her benefit alone. A person such as that cannot be trusted to remain free to enact their schemes."[/b][/color]

With that said, he turned to Aleksiya, raising an eyebrow at her words.

[color=#B5A642][b]"Oh? By all means, then. Lead on. I'm curious to see as to what exactly that journal we found was speaking of. Shall we gather up the others?"[/b][/color]
