Indeed, being a vampire does have its "benefits" but it's all an insanely terrible joke. Koln thinks for a moment, severely tempted to lunge at Tony, dig in his fingers, and brutally seperate his head from his neck with his own hands, but decides agaisnt it. It would only endanger Clover and Ruby, plus totally blow their cover... need to remain rational, and keep up the Masquerade."So, 'survival' is the chief beauty? I find it hard to consider that which mere cockroaches excel at to be even remotely beautiful. The truly beautiful is that which is virtuous, and that which is virtuous to 'kindred' is the same exact thing as the virtue of insects? I would be more than happy to properly lecture you about true Beauty and the ultimate Good, but this is a club, hardly a place for philosophic debate. Although, you might be right, the virtue of cockroaches may be the same as 'kindred' provided you grant me that vampires are merely another kind of bottom-feeding insect.""And I do have one last question..." Koln says, raising his hand and leaning in, "Maybe it won't be anytime soon, but eventually perhaps in a couple centuries, when you get bored of your 'little pleasures,' and realize you are ultimately alone, lower than <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> on God's Chain of Being, and frankly, a mockery of all that is truly beautiful, could you send me a letter before you decide to take a walk into the burning sunlight? It doesn't have to be too long, a simple "Vous aviez raison" or "You were right" will do. Oh, and sign it of course, 'Sincerely, Tony' will be fine, so I know who it's from, no need to worry about looking me up, I am very certain I will see you again."Koln sighs, thinking for a moment that perhaps he is being a jerk. Tony is being kind enough to give them advice, he did not have to do this. It is not his fault that he failed, so he shouldn't take it out on him. He crosses his arms and looks away, "I'm sorry... but my question still stands."</blockquote>
