Hello, my lord! How are you? I hope that you are safe and doing well. Here on Earth it seems that vampires are quite in fashion again (well perhaps they never stopped being so, I'm not sure). If given a choice, would you accept or decline such... erm, "gift"? And why (or why not)?
Hello Times. How nice of you to drop by once again. I am well, mostly tired. You know the drill, being a politician who is actually trying to do his godsdamned work and not fill his money pouch.
If I could avoid it, I would not become a vampire. I am long-lived enough already. True enough, I do not think Molag Bal one with short memory, so it is quite possible my soul will get to him either way when I die. I do not die easily, as already proven. Thus I would not gain by the benefits would I? But I would be stuck in an existence in which I could not drink wine. That would not do at all. Such a thing is not a gift, but a torture.
