-Reminder: today's chapter is a little longer than the previous ones because I don't know if you are going to read the previous chapter and this one in a row, so I preferred to put the fragment of the previous chapter relevant to this chapter. Consequently, this chapter will be longer than the previous ones.

It had been a while and he was getting more and more at ease talking to each other especially when there are only the three of them in the room. He, Adelaide and Valery, when it was just the three of them he could relax and talk without much formality. Something he didn't allow himself when all the important vampires were gathered together.
"It doesn't bother you to drink blood being near me?"
