He asks me many questions. About the magic I used, about how to get out of here, also how I can keep the castle clean. It seems he is purposely not asking anything related to my race.
This is surprising. Usually we vampires usually provoke either extreme fear or fascination. The way we appear alive yet are actually undead intrigues or scares many. No, this man is referring to me as a friend. How long has it been since I have heard this word? Far too long.
He has plenty of weird ideas, most of them about how we should start a business together. How silly! But I like it! I show him the rooms of my humble stronghold. When we reach the reading room, he starts going on about how it would be the perfect place to play chess.
At first, I am lost, but then he explains it to me. This turns out to be a really fun yet complex game. I use some magic to create the board and pieces according to his directions. It takes me a long time but he doesn't complain.
