"That's appreciated," he purrs when Harrowheart promises not to tell anyone about their little encounter. In fact, the more Harrowheart speaks, the more interested the vampire looks. It's an expression that is hard to place on his face. The look of a vampire hungry for blood, a scholar starved for new knowledge, or a man reveling in the dose of camaraderie. It all looks much the same on a pale, fanged face like his.
"All men have violence in them, dead or not," he says reassuringly. Though the encouragement may be partly due to the compliment on his cravat which he is clearly pleased by.
Harrowheart's question turns the vampire's expression from amused to thoughtful. "All kinds. It depends on whose classification you work with, but there are ghosts, wraiths, restless spirits, zombies, flesh golems-" He tips his head and shakes it disapprovingly. "Utterly grotesque."
Putting that aside he continues, "But when it comes to the living dead who still have their bodies and their wits it's really down to vampires, liches and some very, very rare cases of animated corpses."
