"Ah, ah, good morning. I am Elaine Viralaine ... don't ask me who gave that name to me" smiled the girl, as she held out her hand, using her other hand to brush her messy hair down. She seemed to be older than she initially looked, despite being quite short.

"Don't mind me. You came here to use the forge, right?" said Elaine as she looked at Victoria.

Aeorin didn't pass any comments and just folded his arms.

"So you like Iori in that way, and I can understand, for she is a very beautiful girl. But you must know that unlike you, she is destined to live on far longer than a normal human, or even an elf. To her, your lifespan is but that of a butterfly's. You must know that when Iori rejects you, she is actually rejecting the thought of seeing you age and die. She doesn't want to cry when she sees you go before her" said Vylliara, as she shook her head at Tristan's confession.

"A lot of mortals don't understand why we are so selective about who we accept into the family, and why so many vampires. Truth is, a lot of our kind are scared to see loved ones die. Members of our family aren't just obliged to find love ... they are obliged to have more children. And the pain that results from both your wife and your children seeing you wither and die is not worth it, no?"

"It will also lead to depression in the mortal partner. They know their spouse and children will never age, and they just crumble back to dust. How depressing. It is safer for their ego to never be allowed into the family. It's also why we cannot accept the ugly or untalented. Because they will suffer amongst us, feeling like they can never match up ... always inferior. It is for the good of those others we can't accept any of them as part of our family. Although you can also blame it on seeing so many beautiful and talented people, it seems like the norm and one won't settle for less. Either way it's hard to bridge such a gap."

Vylliara seemed to lean forward and cupped her head in her hands. She sighed and said "the only reason many Fontaines can keep on living is because they have loved ones to think about. Crush that spirit, they will also decide their time is up and leave. Of course, I am not the sort who will block any form of love, but do remember that should you persist, you will cause Iori untold amounts of pain. And should you have children, your children will suffer as well. If you can see past that, or I have mistaken an immortal for a mortal, then you can ignore me and try seeking your true love. Although I doubt Iori will see it your way unless you are indeed immortal."

(Vyl loves to talk.)
