Do I agree? Hell yes. But it also happens that confused is a word I don't like, especially when applied to me, because it's generally followed by surprised and dead if one's not careful. (And I am careful. It's not paranoia if the gods really are out to get you, you know?)

I nod and take another look around the swanky hotel. "Yeah, confusing is definitely up there."

I don't need to activate my Faerie Specs charm to see that Leif's brother from another mother is a vampire. The pasty skin alone would give it away - it's very dead chic. I have a vampire unbinding spell ready to go if things go wrong, but for now...we can talk.
