“I can’t recall clearly, but I believe it was some sort of bird? Rather macabre thing I remember it being depicted as somewhat skeletal. No idea if it means anything but he spoke about it fondly.” A small creak of the door as it opened, and in walked not one, but two young looking women. Aleksiya and Kordelia, the latter of which had a somewhat sickly looking bird perched on her shoulder. Some sort of crow, perhaps, but its beak was longer and many of its feathers were missing.

“...Ah, you’re back. With an extra. Another friend of yours, miss Aleksiya?” Giles asked.

“Kordelia. Princess. I expect to be treated like one.”

“...Princess…?”

“Uhuhu, yes princess! So go on, give me all the sugary sweets and pastries you have! Oh and if you have any pretty animals around here lemme see ‘em.” Giles didn’t respond, mostly seeming at a loss for words and turned his attention back to Aleksiya.

“Sir Argus and I were just discussing what to do about the village. Its clear that we can’t stay here and leave things as is, but we’re not sure what our next course of action should be. I wanted all of your opinion on the matter since you seem to have some expertise in the area. We had settled on whether or not to move into that old city or simply try and build defenses here…”

“What do ye fuckin’ think you dumb red-headed harlot? Of course it is.” Julene spat back. “ButI only counted one time. I could’ve gotten out of that burnin’ building.” She’d glance towards Giselle, though the other vampire was met with a frown. “Don’t pity me or try to sugarcoat it. Fake nun here is right. I’m strong. For a human. But best I can do is fight some beasts. If whatever that bird thing was that attacked the village again…haaa…what hope do I have to do anything about it?” Julene gruffly responded as she walked over to the training dummy, picking up her blade and giving it a good long look over. It had been completely restored by Giselle. The previous signs of aging and well worn use gone.

She rather missed the small nick in the blade near the hilt.

“...At least half of us were killed just now. Even if we manage to live…not enough folks left to keep the village going.” She glanced back towards Akyasha. “You asked me about power earlier and what I’d do with it. Maybe I was wrong. How do you folks fight those beasts with barely breaking a sweat?”
