[So now you're in a dark, underground city and you're either:

a) a human, something close to human, and tagged with a collar and dog tags, a short robe and pants uniform, and the knowledge you're livestock. You're being brought to a noble's mansion for entertainment at a party.

b) exceedingly not human and visiting a party at a vampire noble's house. Maybe you're from out of town and you've been invited out of politeness.]

Oh I hardly mind the catering, the taste should be the first concern, but presentation is so important.

I hardly want to let you go though.

You bought it.

[makes a gesture, 'and so you can break it', presumably]

So I did. But I might keep you to myself. What do you think?

The less nobles I have to look at, the better.

Oh? Not fond of finery?

[another flip gesture indicating his clothes]

I like to keep it casual.

An attitude of a commoner bred and raised, but that has its own charm.

Shall I spirit you away as my own instead of sharing you?

That's me.

If you want to drag me off somewhere alone, no guards, no lackies... Well, I really can't argue with that.

My my, proposing a scandal or an assassination?

A little old human like me? I'm harmless.

Oh do be a little more subtle, it ruins the game if you're not a bit clever about it.

Sorry. Must be my coarse, commoner blood acting up.

It's hard to find any entertainment if you don't act a little like you think you can outsmart me, dear.

[tilts his head slightly]

I'm not here to feed your ego.

Simply here to feed us?

That's not even a good joke. I guess you don't have to be too clever when dinner's scared senseless.

Oh I much prefer my food to be interesting. I've never enjoyed rabbits as much.

No, I guess you'll eat anything as long as it's declawed first.

It's cute of you to goad me, but really, humans have never been a match for our kind. Though I won't say I don't find humans quite terrifying in your own way. I really admire the stubbornness of humanity.

Not enough to put up with it too long.

Human desires will destroy the world if left unchecked. Really, the rate you've driven us all to obliteration is astonishing. I can't help but be impressed.

You look like humans, act like humans... You think you're any different?

Entirely. We haven't brought the world to devastation for the sake of greed. Certainly we have our similarities, but would you say a cat is a dog simply because they're both predators?

No, I'd say you are what you eat.

How literal.
