ISADORA: Why hello, brother! Fancy seeing you here.  ATTICUS: Isadora? I specifically told Mother not to invite you! 

ISADORA: Ah yes, but you forget that I have always been our father’s favorite, so he of course begged me to come bring you to your senses. He complains to me often about your fondness for lesser creatures, among other things.

Sweet Atticus, still ever the humanitarian. You must wonder whether he thinks you a disappointment, no? To think how much more powerful you would be were it not for your soft heart. Truly—

ATTICUS: Are you quite finished? You know your demoralizing monologues no longer work on me. 

ISADORA: Well anyway, I’ve made my assessment of your wretched little mortals.

ATTICUS: That’s quite interesting, as I have no memory of requesting your input. Where have you even managed to hide yourself all night?

ISADORA: I’m even better at observing from the shadows than Father is, you know. What’s your special ability again?

ISADORA: My assessment is: you should just do what I do and keep a cellar full of thralls. It’s much less involved. 

ATTICUS: Isadora, do you have anything useful to say or are you just here to antagonize me and my company? ISADORA: Both, of course. They are all three not worth the effort. It’s a shame the colorfully-dressed one was born mortal; were they born a vampire I may actually see myself enjoying their company. 

ATTICUS: They have no interest in being turned that I’m aware of. 

ISADORA: I have little respect for turned vampires as they are inferior to those of us with pure bloodlines, but they should consider it nonetheless. Regardless, they would never be loyal enough to you to be useful.

ISADORA: Oh, and when your little pet tires of or rips apart his new chew toy, I know plenty of suitable vampiresses with questionable taste in men similar to yours who would replace her.

ATTICUS: I sincerely doubt I would approve of any of the feral nosferatu that associate with you, dear sister. 

ATTICUS: Not that your opinion holds any weight to me whatsoever, but…what of the other one? Did you observe him?
