I am the Conundrum

My  Dunmer vampire lord, Relamus, drawn by the extremely  talented Maria!  I LOVE HIM.  MOST HANDSOME (????) GRUMP.  Probably the only  vampire you want me to meet in a dark alley.  Or do you?

I could say the same about you.

[ He feels the vampire on his chest before he sees him– impossible, even with his own heightened senses. But it was here he hoped his strength helped him. He held onto the vampire’s icy cold skin– not unlike his– and tried to brace himself. Relamus would find that Jean-Pierre’s grip was too strong, even for a man of his build. ]

There’s something different about you.

[ his words were even and brave. Perhaps a little foolish, even. ]

[He moves quickly, too fast to be human.  He hardly makes a sound, and his hands are firm on Jean Pierre’s chest.  He tries to shove him backwards, and out of the cave.]

What do you want from me?

I only enjoy a kill if there’s a chase.

[ No, that’s what the other Briarhearts said. ]

You have become the weak.

[ no illusion, but a threat. Jean-Pierre cannot hear a heartbeat. Undead, but what? Vampire? ]

Who are you?
