D, is ethereal beauty a part of the vampire package or is that just a YOU exclusive?
D hums a little, as if he is thinking how best to answer this. As usual, it is not his mouth which responds, but that of the countenanced carbuncle on his left hand. It is a bit muffled, because D has not lifted it, but the voice is sharp enough to hear.
“Didn’tcha know? D here is a fancy genetic experiment gone—well sorta right—I mean, you got a point there… Eeeeverybody falls for him.” The tone is its usual flippant mockery of human speech, and in fact the parasite does, on most occasions, act more human than its host. It is D’s mouthpiece, sometimes to the dhampir’s chagrin, but the carbuncle is of the opinion that if he didn’t want it to answer for him, he ought to speak up.
“Hotness runs in the family, see, D’s dear papa—”
This is when the voice cuts off as D’s fist curls, almost gently, but firmly enough to silence it.
“Dhampir are usually alluring to mortals,” he says simply. “We are predators.”
He moves his head minutely to regard the stranger from under the wide, dark brim of his hat. There is no malice in that gaze, nor is there condescension or pity. What there is is damn near impossible to read if one does not know D.
And nobody, in truth, knows D.
