DragonтАЩs Blood

It all started with the party. Which was ironic when he thought about it. He hated parties. Many things
had changed in his life, but that was one thing that had remained true despite it all. He hated the inane
small talk and the posturing, the clink of theWaterford crystal and the clank of the gold-plated
dinnerware, the diamonds and brooches and cufflinks and the insistence on propriety when he didnтАЩt
know what that meant to these people. These people. They were not his people. They were show
mannequins, models, cartoon characters in gaudy attire, caricatures of themselves.

But more than that--they were human and he felt terribly out of place among them.

It had never been like this before, but since things had changed he was acutely aware of the meridian
that existed between himself and this creature that called itself a human being. It was a warm, rosy thing,
short-lived, bad-tempered, and yet infinitely precious. Now it seemed to him almost an alien species. He
had dwelt in the dark for so long, the proverbial light hurt his eyes.

Alek drank some of the rosy champagne and wandered among them. They were pretty in their own
way. Like pictures.

IтАЩll bet they taste pretty, tool.
