[While she picks up on that, she doesn't comment. There are more than a few smiles sent in Brigade's direction, though, until they're both settled.
Yes, Barbie and Raura can eat just fine. Some vampires can't.]
Anyway, I invited you over here so that we could talk properly. I need to go on a bit of a business trip, and I would very much like it if you could come with me.
I need you to be my bodyguard, together with Inquisitor Hawke! Of course, that also means that the two of you will have to be my enforcers whenever negotiations do not pan out as planned.
[Ah, such a politically correct way of saying it...]
My shields are ready, Ma'am. [ "Diplomatic" as they can be. He remembers the vampire that took Hawke down in the past. He was one hell of a talker. ] It's been awhile since I last shut up vampires who needed shutting up.
A couple of years, give or take, Ma'am. There were some engagements for Aegis Kai Doru where I had to go up against a couple of vampires. There were the Russian Cold War Years doing commando work taking out a couple here and there for political motives, but those were years I try not to count even though my body remembers the things it did. My last major engagements with Kindred were a good century ago back in the War; against the Nazi vampire division.
[ Brig remembers them all very clearly. Like it were yesterday. He pushes his edginess into the back of his mind. ]
I disliked the Nazi thinking back then, Ma'a; I still do. But I felt the Nazi vampire division were degenerates worse than the rest. On par with the Nazi's Slashers. [ A pause ] Will we be meeting any vampires of the sort on this trip?
That's good to know, Ma'am. [ It really is for Brig ] But if you're bringing Hawke and I as muscle, Ma'am, I take these ones we're visiting are still the type to cause some trouble?
I'm on board, Ma'am, and hopefully things go smoothly. [ A pause, then he adds ] I'm actually curious to see more of the Kindred community because of some reading I did on them in the Arcanum.

I'd be glad to, Ma'am. What do you need of me? [ He remembers her mention "big, scary, and reliable" earlier before they went into the dining area ]

I'd be a pleasure, Ma'am. Diplomatic mission?

[Chuckling at that. 'Diplomatic' and 'vampires'. That was always a fun mix.
Yes, at times, she means that sarcastically. Sigh, Darkest Vigil.]

[And she LOVES stories.]
Please just tell me if there's anything I should edit or delete.:D

it's all good!
Then, when you're done:]
Oh, I heard about those guys. Hawke had a lot of unkind words about them, as did Riley.

[And good riddance to them, no doubt.]

[Rolls eyes.]
Seeing me and the two of you should be enough to cow those ones.

[Yeah, she's saying that even if she knows you're a soldier. Vampires are interesting creatures.]
