Kelreth / C/O Jospeh Hartman
David found it interesting how each respondent took to the questions. Each question brought to mind different thoughts, meanings, and contexts. He supposed that nature and experience played a part this, in itself, was illuminating.
People were fascinating.
Joseph's question was answered simply with a gentle nod of David's head, silently reiterating there was no right or wrong answer.
Is there anything that you'd like to say about the subject of Blood and the Hunger, something we did not go over, that you feel might benefit the survey?
Teodor Raluca / Beej
Is this feeling of presence not there normally? David inquires interested in that part of Teodor's answer. The Mekhet studies Teodor's notes, considering his next line of questioning. Though, for those familiar with a Psychologist's way of doing things, they were more nudges to allow the respondents to take as they will.
Once Teo answers, David presses on asking, How do feel when you are Hungry and how do you see yourself during this time? Thoughtful, David assumed the next part of the question would be declined considering past answers, Does the Hunger relate in some way to your choice of vessel or to an intangible that is considered missing subconsciously?
David nearly didn't ask the second half, but deviations from the script would ripple through the rest of the survey. A potential ripple that David did not want.
Chrisie / C/O Martha Villiers
Thoughts emerged, bubbled and blossomed as the Social Scientist listened to Martha's multifaceted answers and clarifications. David fell preternaturally quiet as he concentrated on following her lines of thought, like Hansel and Gretel did breadcrumbs looking for their way home.
The Dragon's Tail was never something Johan spoke about in anything other than the broadest of strokes. In a very faint sense, David could tell his sire was disapproving of the tradition but that was as far as it went. If any of the small coteries attached to the Minneapolis Academy actually followed the tradition, David did not know.
Order found within seeming disorder? A thread to find in the seeming mass of Pandζmonium. The treasure to be found by any aspiring Dragon. The words of Milton came to mind 'As Bees /In spring time, when the Sun with Taurus rides, /Poure forth thir populous youth about the Hive /In clusters; they among fresh dews and flowers / Flie to and fro, or on the smoothed Plank'
A few moments of silence reigned between the pair as David both caught up with his notes and caught up with Martha's thoughts. The Mortician finalized his notes by glancing at his watch and taking a quick note before reaching forward and clicking the recorder off. Thank you, Ma'am for your time tonight.
Rising from his seat, David offers to help Martha from the small meeting space, I hope that I might ask you to read a draft of my work when time allows?
