Ambivalence...yes, that seemed about the sum of it and still better than it might be otherwise. Even without their history, there wasn't much need to point out the only vampires he'd run across back home were ones he'd needed to fight and kill as well.
Yet here he'd let incubi and vampires and Eye-men worthy of the Abyss feed on him without fear. Happily, even. Not something he'd even consider for a moment back home. The city didn't matter but the removal of stigma and expectation? Maybe. Then again, if he met a vampire or incubus from Faerûn here, would he give them that chance? Would they even have a mind enough to get one? Maybe his prejudices weren't gone, just shifted...it was fine as long as they weren't his monsters.
Grayson's question earns a look of surprise in his direction, though he's quick to clarify it. "In the general premise? No, from you? I...I suppose it makes sense, I know you fear the loss of control of your mind far deeper than death, and now that it's said, I can see the desire to not want that end to be had at the SIN guard's hands, even if they could." His expression turns thoughtful and his posture relaxes that little bit more it hadn't yet.
"In general premise, you'd not be first of a significant amount of dangerous power who expressed a desire for such failsafes. I find those who don't wish to lose what humanity they hold have that sentiment most often, whether the humanity is in the form of their own mind or for the connections they've made. If I were to venture a guess...perhaps you're finding it's not only the one anymore? Perhaps you'd have some measure of concern for those you've grown to trust here as well as a desire to spare yourself the heartache?"
