[ Hey, folks! I'm still on hiatus but I wanted to put up a few prompts for this month's event. I'll be tagging in and out throughout the week, so please be patient. If you would like to plot with me, feel free to drop me a DM or hit me up on devillady. I'm always more than happy to make a starter or two. So don't be shy. Also, you're welcome to make your own starters as well. ]

[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.

[He states with a bit of a smirk.]

That is unless you mean to cut me down still.

[The casual declaration (and subsequent skirting by) of the mention of friends surprises him. They have not really had any major disagreements, and yet.

It is strange to him all the same.]

I would only need to kill you if you hurt someone, or killed them.

[He isn’t particularly worried about Augustine doing that intentionally, so there is no need for the violence on his end.]

I don’t have anything to offer you in that way. Aren’t there better friends here for you to make? Many of them don’t seem to mind dhampirs at all. It isn’t like our own worlds.
