Mayerling likes the feeling of Falco curling up against him. His body is warm, and he won't let anything happen to the young man. He could make Falco's heart ache with sad stories, how Mayerling cannot see the colors of day or how lonely he was before he came here. He doesn't want to share that now, when it could one day be necessary.

"I will not lie and say it is easy. It takes great self-control because the desire for blood is always there. Yet my keener senses let me know when someone's had a bad day, a sad day, or something, so I can bring them something to make them feel better. Be a good neighbor."
