Cassius looks impressed. "That's quite the power. Then, I have to wonder, would the only way to avoid it be blocking one's hearing, so the words never reach their ears even if they're in range?" He also looks around a bit curiously. "Just how many pets do you have? I only know of Silas and Quinn." - @ask-the-emmettverse

"Hmm, possibly? I was trying to get a deaf human one time, he did not react at all. I wish I knew he was deaf before the cops were called though..."

Charles sighs, "Sadly, Quinn is. not a pet of mine. And I've lost track of the pets I've had, many men over the years, some took well, others didn't and had to be put down. I'm glad Silas took well,"

Silas' answer catches the attention of Cassius, who looks at Charles in intrigue. "Fascinating," the vampire says. "How does this type of enthrallment work? Is it a spell you cast, something you say, a charm activated by eye contact...? And how long do its effects last for before you need to use it again?" - @ask-the-emmettverse

Charles watches the other vampire speak, "Spoken word with intent. I say sit, my pets, thralls or even strangers in the street are compelled to obey, anyone who hears it, but if said to one person they're the only one who's body won't listen when they fight it."

"Silas, being... emotional, often tried to fight. He had horrid headaches, had to starve him so he'd stop."

"Though, my pet's new 'friend'... he responds well to all enthrallment. It's rather cute, I'll be visiting him as much as I can. I'll have to order Silas to enthrall him so he's more pliable, but whatever works."

Silas, tell me more about Charles! Is he one of your thralls? How did you acquire him?

"No, he's my sire..." Silas is visibly uncomfortable, "He has a type of enthrallment that forces the listener to obey so I don't really get to talk poorly of him... I mean, I can, I just have to hope he never hears it."
