Does the government ever take into consideration how vampire society feels?
[In a way, she feels that's half the problem. Certainly they have their own issues and pride to work through. But she doesn't pretend to think that treating them as though they are diseased, or some highly parasitic being helps tensions. It only makes it more tense, which causes more problems for all of them.
The start of a question, though, draws her gaze back to him. She has an idea of what he'd like to ask, but... well-- she'll start with something else to begin.]
. . . Things have been complicated recently, Zero.
[She frowns]
Recently tensions have been high. A lot of it is due to those same selfish individuals who claim reverence and yet act out. [She glances up at him] Because people disapprove of the shared bond between us, there have been those who have targeted you out of arrogance.
[It's ridiculous, and it makes her blood boil all over again to think of it. Zero is not the tainted or dirty one. Those idiotic monsters don't know anything.]
Dissidents even went so far as to target Yori, simply out of frustration because their true target is too difficult of an opponent. [And that had been what caused her to nearly lose her composure. That some would go so far simply because she had no interest in finding a pureblood lord.]
. . . After that, we both agreed that for the time being, until tensions cool, that we'll only meet occasionally at one of the benches at Cross Academy. For the sake of each other and for the people we care about, it's the only option at this time if we want to maintain peace.
