Then ask away.

[wizardsplain]

Oh, it would be terribly uncouth to simply ask the subject of one's curiosities.

Then again, I suppose couth is a tad bit overrated! You've clearly a preference for sapient beings' blood, present company excluded. Why would a friendly neighborhood vampire not choose to subsist on squirrels?

[backscar]

It's quite simple, really. Squirrels are too small, don't taste particularly nice and are less sustaining.

[wizardsplain]

Make it ten squirrels, then. Surely that's enough to quench your thirst. Do you mean to say you'd still find the flavor profile unappetizing?

[backscar]

The flavour would be terrible, yes. Of course, it sustains me, but it is the difference between eating weak soup and a full-course meal.

[wizardsplain]

Fascinating! What about humanoids, then? Is their blood all quite the same to you, unappetizing conditions notwithstanding?

[backscar]

No, they're different. Think of them akin to different vintages of wine.

[wizardsplain]

Well, speaking of wine - are vampire spawns incapable of indulging in more traditional means of food, or is it just my cooking you aren't fond of?

[backscar]

Drinking, yes. We do enjoy a good wine now and then, but food? It upsets the stomach.
