Humans have a distasteful habit of destroying those they don't understand.
That was a fair assessment. Although his upbringing had tried to raise him past such thoughts, Aidou couldn't but agree. It was true. While some vampires killed humans just because they could, most didn't, and yet the entire species of vampire was persecuted for the faults of the minority. But it worked both ways, Aidou knew. The Hunters' Association - small as it was in relation to the whole - had soured many vampires on the idea of friendly relations.
Count D, what an ironic name. Aidou wasn't sure he was keen on this naming scheme.
The explanation D gave was a brief one, and in a different time Aidou would've squeezed this Count D for all the information he had out of pure curiosity, but now wasn't the time or place. Certainly not standing in the shadows of a doorway, watching a beast and a human child fight to the death. Aidou considered asking after the 'sacred beasts', but said instead, "And you... your kind. You had no way in which to defend yourself?" It was a similar story to his, but vampires differed in that regard. They wouldn't be the ones driven to extinction if it came to that.
Although the idea that there were multiple species of non-humans and even multiple worlds was grandiose, commonality of humans and human actions remained a connecting thread between Aidou and his stranger. Somehow, though, he knew the other wasn't lying.
He looked to D. "Then it goes without saying I have no intention of revealing such things either."
