[Thankfully, Augustine isn’t so cold not to realize how his words might sting. So instead of following up that statement with more barbs, he states the following instead.]
So you claim but isn’t it customary for…friends to help each other?
[He questions while trying his best to seem a bit nonchalant here.]
I don’t have many friends, D. None of which share a similar lineage to myself.
[He places his tea cup upon the saucer once more before glancing towards D again. Even though the two of them are so different, there’s some similarities here and there. After all, they are both lonely dhampirs trying to find their place in this grand new afterlife. Wasn't easy for either of them when they were alive and it’s not easy now that they're dead. It’s probably never going to get any easier for the two of them either.]
That’s why…I’m willing to try to befriend you, hunter.

That is unless you mean to cut me down still.
