-Ovelia presents herself well enough for the mirror. A queen is always a queen, after all, and must look her best before addressing any public, even informally. The Elves have been kind enough to provide her with a new gown, made from delicate white material with silver embroidery about the collar. Even with her knowledge, she could barely tell you a thing about the textiles involved, or the sewing techniques used to construct it. Either way, it was lovely, and complimented the bright smile, the brightest anyone there had likely ever seen, given how dark Ovelia's mood often was prior.-

Greetings to all. It gladdens my heart to know that we've finally found some peace in our journey, even if only for the moment. Gratitude to our hosts, and blessings be to those who are still recovering.

As for why I present myself to you all this evening, ah... -She stops for a moment, eyes drifting from the mirror and raising a hand to her cheek, letting it linger for a moment before she laughs softly, humming...-

Silly though it may seem, there are some matters no book or study may properly prepare one for. Courtly manners are a matter of practice, but this...

Well. Anyways.

I would like to hear thoughts and knowledge from lived experiences, ah... about "love"

The romantic sort. -Now she was definitely blushing.-

...So, uh. Got some things I should probably tell you guys.

[ Kevin seems a little nervous, he has trouble doing "eye contact" with the mirror. ]

I guess like... first of all, I'm Kevin? I'm from New York? I skate? I've met some of you but not everybody so...

[ He shrugs. ]

You ever known somebody who... uh, has a personal problem? But it turns out that if you know 'em and are around 'em all the time it kinda winds up to be their crap ends up being everybody's shit to deal with?

It's kinda like that.

[ Everything about trying to explain this is awful. Everything. ]

The thing with me is... well..

I'm... kind of a vampire?

[ There. He said it. Getting that part out helps him square up and face it a little better, his gaze steadies straight on the mirror. ]

Actually, not "kind of" at all. I'm definitely a vampire. I drink people's blood. I have to. Been doing this shit a good while, too. The Green's got my back with the whole sunlight deal, but I still ain't exactly keeping down regular grindage if you know what I'm saying.

[ Kevin winces a little. He tried. ]

So... here's the deal: I need to drink blood sometimes. Otherwise I get hungry, and when I get hungry I stop... being able to be a person so good? It's bad. Trust me.

[ Please, please trust the self-described vampire. ]

It's not a lot all the time, I can go a bit if I'm full up, and I can stretch it on animals and junk like that, but it's... yeah, dog.

[ He makes his lungs pull in air and breathe it back out in a long hwoo. ]

The other thing is it's probably... if I'm gonna be real with allay'all, I don't want to put my teeth in you? I mean, I got 'em.

[ He takes a second to drop fangs and show the mirror before pulling them back in, which probably does a whole lot of good for his image with the team. ]

It does stuff to people, though? And I don't want to be like that if we're gonna be doing this Lord of the Rings shit together, alright? If we're gonna be real, I'm gonna be real.

[ Kevin's shoulders sink a little as this sudden surge of confidence falters. ]

I don't know what I'm supposed to do about this, but I'm not lying about it and I'm not gonna sneak around. And I mean.... if y'all wanna run me off into the woods, cool, but I'm gonna end up stuck comin' back like any of the rest of us.

If I could just go find someplace else to be, I mean...

[ He smiles weakly. ]

You wouldn't be hearing this.
