[Amy is at her piano today, not playing, but she seems to be looking longingly at the keys. Since it's daytime, her manner is sluggish-- as if she stayed up all night, when in truth she didn't.]

People come and go often in this place. I've seen so much of it that it doesn't faze me that much. It seems that there are many new voices on the network, however. It would be a pleasure to make new acquaintances when possible.

I would not mind hearing from those I have met before as well. I apologize for my silence. Things have been rough at the library where I work in.

[Pause. Oh. Hmmm.]

Why are you doing that, exactly?

[graceful_cutter]

Drinking blood? Or depriving myself of it?

[vestalvogue]

Depriving yourself of it.

[graceful_cutter]

I am not certain... there is the possibility that I am ill.

[vestalvogue]

I am not following. You are depriving yourself of blood because you are sick? That seems counterintuitive.

[graceful_cutter]

I think it is the illness that is causing me to not take blood. [She sighs, unsure what to do.]

[vestalvogue]

[Kanaya is silent on the other end, not sure what to do either.]

What happens if you try?

[graceful_cutter]

I... hesitate. [She sighs.]

[vestalvogue]

I don't think that is sickness, I think that is probably psychological.

[vestalvogue]

I don't think that is sickness, I think that is probably psychological.

[graceful_cutter]

Psychological?

[vestalvogue]

Er, yes. It's in your head, not a fault of your body.

[graceful_cutter]

Ah... so that is what it means. Monsieur Davesprite suggested I speak with Mademoiselle Lalonde regarding my disorder.

[vestalvogue]

Errr... yes I think she knows a lot about that...but she is also quite capricious and prone to employing sarcasm at regular intervals.

[Rose she loves you but if you fuck with her friend over this she will be upset.]

We could talk about it if you like?

[graceful_cutter]

Ah... I see.

[Unfortunately, sarcasm always rubs Amy the wrong way.]

I would be comfortable speaking with you.

[vestalvogue]

Then I would ask- why do you hesitate?

[Private]

[graceful_cutter]

I feel guilt over what I have been doing.

[She wonders if Kanaya is aware of her identity among the Teen Titans-- "Blood Rose". She had noticed a certain "Grim Couture" in one of their meetings before.]

[Private]

[vestalvogue]

[She might have noticed, but she also wouldn't say something either. To Kanaya, it's not important enough a matter to discuss; she's using the Teen Titans to try and find a way to help, a purpose now that she's failed everything else, and that's a deeply personal issue. She wouldn't presume to meddle in that way with somebody else.

But this? This shared trait? This she can pry into. Even if she's a troll- the squeamishness is foreign to her, completely and utterly.]

You feel guilty for drinking the blood of others?
