@Maxwell Grail smiles softly and says "Is this what you think happened? That I randomly selected the best Decker in the shadows as my companion? This was her ascension ritual, and also her first feeding. Did you really forget your first night child? Or where you too afraid to tell Maxwell the truth? That we both had a pixie that night? "
Grail looks at Amy disappointed and then at Maxwell,unsure whom to answer, after a short silent he picks Amy. "The pixies are for you love, they are going to ease your transition and make it a positive experience. The reason we had them before you were turned is that there were many nights that I wanted to turn you but could not bring myself to do it as I promised you not to do it."
Amy looks at Grail, confused and overwhelmed and starts sobbing "You promised, you promised and I believed you." Grail embraced her and answered "I know... I know."
Amy says, crying "It was all too much and too soon, I remember images and feelings but it feels like a dream - I am unsure what is real and what not." With sadness in his voice Grail noted "You will never dream again treasure - everything is going to be lucid from now on."
Grail then turns to Maxwell and said "Pixies are mainly used for new vampires, they ease the transition as pixies create an euphoria and their body vanishes once they are consumed.
It is only when Amy can restrain herself with a pixie that she is going to start feeding on meta humans. Pixies are also expensive and dangerous to get, to get them is to appear in someone's client list and to leave a paper trail behind leading to your home is never a good idea - but Amy is worth the risk."
He then said to Maxwell "Look Max, I understand that you hate me that you can barely bring yourself not to strike. You are right to restrain yourself as Amy needs me more than she realizes. She also needs you in her life to see her through that transition from a human with human morality, to a vampire that follows a completely different code of morality."
Amy then approaches Max and embraces him she whispers "He makes a lot of sense Max, I cannot explain it, I hate him for turning me - and initially I thought that I'd rather die than be turned. I do not want to die Max, now that I turned I want to survive... I hope that it does not make me a terrible person in your eyes.
I still need to accept myself - and what I became, how can I possibly ask you what Grail ask you when I do not know if I can accept myself? She softly and passionately kisses max (should he go for it) and then whispers "But, I love you Max, that much I know.".
@All Mr Casa looks at Ayato and then say "Money is good, but it is money that we both make as a consequence of your actions. It is not money that I have now to pay you with. You should see the offered deal as more of a partnership than a traditional employment offer.
You bring technical execution capabilities, you can pull off a dangerous job and get out of that alive with your objectives met. I can use my connections and influence to generate value of the dangerous job you make. You are right to observe that you are accepted I background checked all of you - and I believe that you are the right team for the job. I think that you are likely enough to pull it off to invest myself in your success. I am afraid this is as much as I can tell you before you commit."
