The vampire smiled, propping his chin in his hand. He couldn’t help but wonder how, exactly, their respective ‘gruesome stories’ would match up if compared. Blood, violence, death, grudges... Humans who experienced such things had a better chance of relating to a vampire, he had to admit.

Then Allen chose to get all bratty, and Aidou broke off at the sudden momentum, forced to drop his arm. His butt slid slightly in the chair, thigh bumping the armrest. He paused, debated high-kicking Allen in the chin, but in the end thought Kaname-sama tolerated that damn Kiryu with such grace, and promptly put his feet back on the other end of the table, out of Allen’s reach. "Considering said ‘awful place’, I don’t mind if the staff are insulted," said the noble.

He looked back at Rinali, smiling once more. "Anyway, it means someone who rids a person, place, or thing of supernatural beings. Go on."
