âIs that so? Please. Enlighten me, Yip. What exactly do I do when Iâm angry?â Kaden inquired, arching a brow with sarcastic curiosity written all over his features. Anger was something the kresnik hardly gave into unless he was defending himself or someone else. He was never the type to pick a fight merely because he was pissed. Nor was he actually enraged about this. Annoyed, yes. Anxious, absolutely, though heâd hidden it well. But not angry. This mess was his own damn fault anyway.Â
He huffed once he was released, taking a step back and arching a brow at Yip. âI think youâve missed the point,â he replied, âI lack trust for you not because youâre a vampire who drinks blood. Itâs your position. Or former one.â Kaden had fallen more into neutral territory over the centuries on his stance towards vampires. Heâd learned just like there were bad faeries in the world, not all vampires were terrible either. Some were just misguided, left alone by incompetent sires who didnât properly train their newborn fledglings with control.Â
The council, however, remained on various levels in his shit list for how they shaped the world after the Second War.Â
Kaden slipped his hands into his pockets, stopping the doorway of his opened cell and looking at Yip. âIf it werenât for you and your colleagues back then, I most likely wouldnât be here today,â he pointed out, âThe council spread fear and hatred throughout the world by establishing slavery. And regardless of your vote or not,â the kresnik added, tilting his head to the side a bit, âI still see you here reaping the benefits.âÂ
âOf course, Kaden. After all the things we have been through, you are still going to stick that label on my back.â Yip closed the cell door behind them, leaned back against the bars with no intention to follow the man out. He watched the man, crossed his arms once more. âHave you ever thought about why we do this? We donât born cruel, Kaden. We...Some of us, were made into it. But I see no point in talking about things you might never understand, not even to at least try. Keep seeing us as evil monsters and killers. It will make it easier to keep your world perfectly black and white.â He went quiet, suddenly let out a chuckle, mocked himself for trying to have the man sees a different light on him.
âJust leave. You do not have to suffer my presence a second longer.â
