[The question alone leaves him gobsmacked for a moment or two, especially since he never really gave much thought about this. Even as a dhampir, he can heal twice as fast as any human because of the potency of his vampiric lineage. Blood sorcery isnโt exactly a commonplace practice among his kind but would make sense for a vampire to possess such powers since they can regenerate quickly.
However, his bastardized form of this taboo art makes it far more dangerous than it needs to be simply because he refuses to sacrifice another to perform it. Thatโs why he finds himself in this peculiar predicament. He never had to worry about his own welfare in such a manner since he would always heal quickly afterwards. Now Augustine finds himself struggling to โsurviveโ with more than half of his supernatural abilities voided.]
โฆI suppose you could say that. [He finally answers after a moment or so of uncomfortable silence.] It was necessary for the task at hand lest my acquaintance and I wouldโve succumbed to a harsher fate.
[He chooses his words very carefully as he recalls the events that transpired in the Oakwoods. A little too carefully, honestly. Heโs on the proverbial defense now.]
