"Not to be smug, but...from what I've learned of your kind of vampire? I think ours is better. In a lot of ways." She admitted with a slight nod. And she really wasn't just trying to be boastful, Hal's former brand of vampire had so many drawbacks. "Oh, I know. Being all...newborn again? It was weird." she said, wrinkling her nose a little. "That's why I wished everything to be what it should. I'm almost five hundred and thirty-eight years old. I should not feel that...new." She understood where he was coming from, in so many ways. "You're allowed to be selfish sometimes, Hal. It's just in what ways you are that matter."
She considered the theory for a moment. It did make sense. Lord Harry, he was creepy-calm, hard-nosed focus and Rippers were pure instinct, absolutely animialistic in everything they did. "Could be. It makes sense. I'm glad, Hal. You deserve every bit of better you feel right now. You struggled for so long with everything and even that struggle was mostly futile because He was like a ticking time bomb, you just didn't know when He'd detonate. And humanity didn't give you what you thought it would. You deserve this." It wasn't that she was trying to push him into feeling entitled, she just genuinely felt that after everything? This was the least he could have, things in his favor just this once.
"There are," she nodded, "there are things to be learned, but I don't think you'll have a problem with that." If nothing else, Katherine knew he was a quick learner and a perfectionist to boot. He'd practice it all to death, if he had to. "Plus," she put a hand on his arm, all bright smiles as she spoke, "that's what I'm here for, right?"
