[The video feeds kicks in with the fast blur image of the library. It would seem the comm has taken a leap from the hands of it's owner and is plummeting from the top of a bookshelf to the floor. A voice cuts through the air, speaking in a strange language.]

1Ta! Suto'nmi-- Merce!

[With a thud, it lands, completely undamaged and left to lie with it's lens facing upwards to where it fell from. Perched on the top railing of a ladder with her foot resting on the edge of a shelf is Vie. She leans over to peer down at the comm, hand still outstretched from holding it only seconds before.

There's a short moment of the woman just... looking, expression slightly worried that she might of broken the comm. She nabs a rather thick book from the shelf that her foot rests on and in a swift motion jumps from the top of the ladder. Vie lands lightly and reaches to pick up the comm. Anyone watching will see her turn the comm in her hands and hold it up for inspection. Spying no damage, she smiles before realizing that the video is active and that she's broadcasting to the entire boat.]

Ah... sorry!

[She can't not laugh as she shuts the video feed off.]

(ooc: 1Ta! Suto'nmi-- Merce! means 'No! Come bac-- SHIT' in Vie's native tongue. She's in the library, eager to do some research on some, or rather one of the races she's just met. Can anyone say 'Vampire?' Vie's encounter with Eric has left her determined to know her target and not fear him. Godric has left her plain curious.)

[Sabriel raises an eyebrow.]

You respect him as a vampire even after what he did to you?

I'm afraid I don't understand that.

He is stronger than me, older, and while something I do not claim to fully understand, I know enough that his kind are dangerous enough that I shall not push them.

Is it wrong to respect that which is greater than yourself? I refer to what he is, rather than who he is.

No, of course not. But then, I don't think of vampires as greater than humans. They are powerful and they are immortal. Where I am from, neither power nor immortality makes for greatness. In my experience, it is more likely to do the opposite. Though I think that would lead back to who a person is in addition to what they are, with Godric and Eric as walking examples.

[Offering an opinion on immortality to a stranger whose own traits and abilities she does not know is definitely a good idea. Open mouth; insert foot.]

[Vie smiles faintly.]

You assume I am human.

However, your points are valid. The respect I would have for Eric and that I have for Godric are very different. One more driven by risk [She refuses to say fear.] than the other.

[Sabriel does a quick double-take and then takes a deep breath. No acrid taint. She can smell no free magic. Whatever Vie is, she is no monster wearing a construct. That is all that matters to Sabriel.]

So I did. My apologies.

[Sabriel would not call that respect, but then who is she to lecture anyone on risks?]

In that case, all the more reason to be prepared. The books will give you a starting point at least.

[She steps off the lowest rung and half-turns for the end of the aisle.]

Good luck.
