The Beast would be trapped with - trapping ? - the Genius at the Embrace... Aοleen wouldn't know. It sure felt Alien to her, and she feared to acknowledge it would be a part of her. But it would be dishonest to wave it off merely because it is an inconvenient thought. If she had learned something in the Ordo, it was the scientific method. "I am not experienced enough in matters of the Embrace, or the Beast, to speculate further. I can't even think of experiments to prove or disprove those theories, because you'd have to be able to feel the Beast, or its potential, in a mortal, if you really wanted a definite proof..." she paused, and wondered for a short while, but quickly dismissed the train of thought. Too unlikely.
Turning back her focus toward David, she commented once again on his words. "Regardless, our... Situation, precarious balance between Lares and Lemures is indeed well known, and it aptly describe ou condition. It is a safe assumption, at least." Though mankind had beasts of their own within their ranks... Nero, Caligula, to name but those of Roman times.
The female Mekhet was even more embarrassed when she saw the state of David after her remark on filial piety. She nearly extended her hand to pat him, and comfort him, but refrained. Physical contact among their kind was usually frowned upon. So instead she tried to lift up his spirits again.
"Ah ! I see !" as if the added explanation changed dramatically the situation. It was somewhat forced, of course, but she still found that perspective unexpected, and interesting. She hadn't considered it that way, and started toying with her hair as she considered it again. She kept to herself the ideas stemming from the relation between Torpor and love. Would her Dreams come from a lack of love ? It made no sense. Did it ? No...
She instead clarified what she had meant in the first place, hoping to appear less cold and unsensitive. "It is true that families still mourn their relatives. It is the feeling of constant proximity, closeness, that has dwindled. Except for the All Saints Day, the departed are often forgotten, in my experience."
"But I can certainly see how, in our case, your family's work has its full sense !"
