How else do you think I'd get away with calling the minions "minions" if they weren't too terrified of what would happen if they tried to lynch mob me?
I'd rather the truth. Never subscribed to that bullshite superiority meself. Bollocks, that is. And if there's one thing I can't stand, it's a fuckin liar.
I've never hurt any of them. I never would. Aside from the "minions" thing and the occasional threat when they seriously over step, I'm not nearly as awful to them as I make myself out to be.
When I was turned, I was left to die and another vampire took me in. He didn't have hired help. He had familiars. I fell in love with one of them. And then the half-breed murdered them all, including him.
If I keep the new ones at arm's length, I won't have to lose them. It's easier for me not to fall in love with people who hate me.
Then you should probably treat them with a little respect now and then. If they think you care, they'll probably like you more.
Probably smart, that. Didn't have one of them mentor-types myself... Didn't even really acknowledge what I *really* was for a few years. Just knew sun hurt and I couldn't get sick or die. Didn't even meet another one for at least a few decades. woulda been nice, really.
Aye, I bet it is. Don't stop it from happenin though, does it?
I got lucky. Without Deacon, I'd be dead. And then the Daywalker came and he destroyed our House. And I lost Deacon and my home. And I lost Scud and without Vlad I don't think I'd have had any reason to go on. Sometimes I still don't. And that's why I won't make friends with the new help. They will be nothing but help.
What made you change your mind? About acknowledging what you are?

You ever think about treatin them with respect? Payin em, maybe? Like a decent fuckin person?
no subject
Wow. I'm spoiled but not so spoiled that I think the help shouldn't be paid. They're probably the most well-paid house staff that have ever lived.
no subject
Then why've you got to threaten and demean them like that? They wouldn't riot if they were happy.
no subject
Do you want the truth? Or the vampire preaching Vampire superiority answer?
