Second Bite [Video]

[Though the setting isn't very bright, barely lit in fact, there was no sense in hiding his identity in such a small, closed off world. Zelman may have caused some trouble, but not nearly enough to warrant him to be concerned of making any real enemies.]

Is everyone making a timely recovery? It was unfortunate for those of us to fall into harms way unexpectedly.

We wouldn't want to have another attack so soon while recuperating.

[A vague threat, perhaps? Or a questionable show of concern for people here.]

Is anyone conducting preemptive measures if this were to occur again?

[Private to Ishtar]

I shouldn't need to remind you what time it is.

[He can and will hunt someone to feed from if she does not present herself. It was the agreement after all, and he was kind enough to humor her with it.]

Of course, I do not disagree with any of your points, but it was not my intention to steer the conversation about my strategies. The point I was trying to make is that whether they can defend themselves or not is irrelevant if the inevitable cycle itself bothers you.

[She shakes her head.]

Of course, I am merely assuming that it does, which was why I asked that particular question. If it does, is that not enough reason to persue a leadership role and help make the change?

Persistent aren't we? Let me make this clear, so that even you can keep up: I've no intention of protecting this city or its fluctuating residents. My obligations lie elsewhere.

If the city cannot defend itself, that is the city's problem.

[Unlike here, he actually did come from a city which could defend itself, and he considered that city his home. Which is why he was willing to lend his aid there in the first place. But here. Here was different.]

Problems such as the hospital event were just an example of how poorly organized you people are, so I will reiterate this again. Until you come clean about your intentions regarding the instability caused by the greater power, you've no hope of making this a safe place to live.

[And that was that. Zelman will merely observe, and only stand in when it threatened his own existence.]

'Persistent'? I could see why you would think that, but it was more of a test to determine if you are less of a waste of time than you are putting on or not.

It would appear I gave you too much credit.

[Satsuki doesn't appear to be particularly annoyed, but she most certainly is. Not by any particular words but more for the fact that he seems content to do nothing, much like how she deems the majority of denizens here.

As for 'coming clean'.. She isn't certain she's even capable of that.]

Perhaps. But I find that doubtful. Best of luck with your 'elsewhere obligations'.

[At the very least, she was entertaining in all of this. Zelman was also aware of her annoying little guard dogs, that followed her. Had they not been here, he might have formally greeted her.]

So you claim, but I'm sure even a woman of your caliber is aware what the stakes are.

[He'll be here...watching...observing...and waiting. Whether he got involved or not was a different story, but so long as actions remained public, he would know what was going on.]

May this luck of yours assist you in this goal of yours.

[Laughable. He hopes failures plague her.]
