[Hesitantly her staff lowers. At least... while a little scary, she hasn't made any attempt at grabbing her. Maybe they... could be tempted. But they're there because they have an ideal in mind, don't they? To work toward a peaceful future together.

Glancing up at her, brown eyes meet the red ones that stare down at her directly.]

. . . Are you determined to believe that vampires couldn't live with humans peacefully because you don't want to believe it? Or because a future like that is scary?

[Innocently asked, quietly so as she watches her.]

Even if vampires have to drink blood to survive... it doesn't make them bad. It-- [She glances down after a minute and stares at her weapon.] It's a little scary. I don't want to be hurt. It makes me think of that time. [Where she had almost been killed.] When I think of that time, my heart freezes up. [She hadn't understood anything, except that someone had tried to harm her. It's continued to haunt her throughout her childhood. But the memory of being saved is there too.] Just because a vampire drinks blood... it doesn't mean they have to or want to hurt a person. And just because they have to drink blood, doesn't mean that humans should hate them for that either.

[Her brows knit, and her fingers tighten noticeably.] If everyone could work together, then there's no reason people couldn't live in peace with each other.
