[ Elda please........... Do you really want to see a rebellious Elizabeth...
But ah, people... dying for her. Of course—vampires need blood to live, and so do humans, just in entirely different ways. It's her turn to take Elda's hand, sliding hers beneath her one on the counter and lifting it with a squeeze. ]
I'm truly sorry you've had to consider this. [ And she is; Elizabeth Velveteen is terrible at talking to people, terrible at comforting them, but this. This much she can do, at least. ] But I don't see how this could change my impression of you at all... I've always thought you a kind woman, Ms. Marker.
[ Overbearing at times, but kind. She's a lot like Silver, in that sense. ...She's pretty sure Silver would make a face if she said that. ]
Thinking that you won't have people die for you like that is proof enough. It's always been my belief that who we are in the past—in these memories—don't define who we are now, or who we will be, or what friends we'll have. [ It's a sentiment that's given her comfort, that's given others comfort. ] Regardless of how the previous Ms. Marker fed and operated as a vampire... the way you deal with this will be different. [ ... ] And I think that it's just as pressing as becoming a robot, honestly.
[ Her own changes, not so much. She just doesn't want anyone to know. ]
