I shifted uncomfortably in my seat . . . not wanting to tell her and yet, at the same time, wanting to more then anything. After a long moment of silence, I reached down, pulled out the blades that I carried, and laid them on the table. They sat hilt to hilt, so that the blades were oposite of one another . . .I looked at them thoughtfully, tracing my fingers over them as I started to speak. "Vel'drav Usstan zhahus inlul . . .Usstan dro'us xuil ussta xinanath, wun natha taur ves feir tarthe dal ghil." ("When I was small . . .I lived with my parents, in a forest very far away from here.") I closed my eyes. "Ussta xinanath 'che uns'aa t'yin . . .lu' udos zhahen loff'ta, ussta lodias zhahen loff'ta." ("My parents loved me then . . .and we were happy, my people were happy.") "But . . .th-then, a . . .a fight, w-with my people . .an-and . . .bad m-men."

I listened to Verin and tried to understand what she was saying the best I could and got most of what she said and then I got out of my seat and hugged her and said "I am sorry, I did not mean to make you remember that."

I began to cry when Tethys took me in her arms, she had not meant to hurt me, I knew that, but, I needed to say these things . . .I needed to tell her. "Vel'drav ussta xinanath tois . . .Usstan grew hasstn lu' Usstan ssinssrinil ulu plynn ussta vharcan." ("When my parents died . . .I grew angry and I wanted to take my revenge.") . . . . "And . . .I did." I touched my blades and tapped them so that Tethys could see . . . ["Olath faer . . ." (dark magic)

As Verin cried I hugged her tighter and then pulled away a bit and listened to her and then embraced her once again and said "Usstan zhaun lu'oh dos satiir whol Usstan ichl inbalus folbol…..indar…sha'nalt ulu uns'aa lu' Usstan ichl aslu ussta…..vharcan"("I know how you feel for I too had something similar happen to me and I too got my revenge") I then released her and looked at her in the eyes and gave her a faint smile and said “Verin, you are welcome to stay with me if you wish too….I will take care of you.”

I wiped the tears from my eyes, it had been nearly a year since I had cried last . . .and to say the least, it felt . . .good. And, it was nice that Tethys was able to understand loss, as she had lost loved ones as well. I smiled a little when Tethys told me that I could stay with her if I wished. "Taknea . . .drill, ele ph' dos ji valyrin?" (thankyou, but why are you so kind?") I looked down "Dos xuat tangis' zhaun uns'aa." (you don't even know me.")

I took my hand and gently brought up Verin’s head so that she was looking at me and I smiled and said “I have been asked that question before and still to this day I don’t know why…maybe its because of my past or maybe its because this is who I am.” I really did not know why I was so kind and this was the fifth time I was asked the same question and did not have an answer.

I smiled at her. I didn't matter to me what her reasons were. "Al, taknea 'sohna. Ouvalyrin zhah folbol nindel Usstan inbalus henotep . . . forgotten."("Well, thankyou again. Kindness is something that I had almost forgotten.")

I smiled and said "You are welcome, but don’t you ever forget kindness....it is something we need in life." I then gave her the book I had and said “Nindol voiry orn xxizz dos screa l' rivvil ooble' 'zil ol xxizz'a uns'aa screa fol d' dossta”( This book will help you learn the human tongue as it helped me learn some of yours) I then smiled again and said “How about I show you the city later on today when the sun goes down Verin."

I looked at her curiously. "Ele z'klaen udos kyorl whol l' sssiks ulu alu harl?"(Why must we wait until dark?) Was there something wrong with the daylight that Tethys didn't like . . . I paused and thought back to our first meeting . . .the strangness that I had felt towards Tethys, like something was not quite right about her . . .like she wasn't human. I knew that she was not Drow but, what then could she be?

I listened and looked at Verin and the hesitated for I did not want to scare her. I then closed my eyes and thought it over if I should tell her or not and then decided to because if I lied and transformed in front of her, it would scare her even more if she was not told. "We must wait because I can not walk in the sun light, it will kill me. Verin I am a vampire" I then did not know if she knew what a vampire was in english so I said it in Drow "Natha sanguine."
