Samiyah glances over.
Samiyah says with precision, "There is nothing wrong with Nicholai at all."

Drakar whispers .."It would have been my request for a hug.."

DarkClaw says, 'Nothing wrong indeed.  The epitomy of a perfect Kindred, would you agree?'.

Samiyah sits down and thinks deeply.
Samiyah says (in common), 'he is the epitome of a perfect Nicholai.'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'every Kindred is different and unique and themselves'.

Nicholai rests.

DarkClaw grins evilly at Nicholai.
DarkClaw says, 'Kindred meditation.'.

Drakar grins happily.

DarkClaw says, 'Do you have scars, Drakar?'.

Drakar says, 'None that I would bear anymore..'.

DarkClaw says, 'Curious response.'.
DarkClaw says, 'Sami, we've taken too much of your time.'.

DarkClaw says, 'I do miss him.'.
DarkClaw chuckles, evidently amused.

Samiyah blinks and shakes her head in bemusement

DarkClaw says, 'He's arrogant, but fun.'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'why would anyone value an embrace from me in particular?'.

DarkClaw says, 'Because you are so well-respected and loveable.'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'but why does that make anyone want to touch me?'.

DarkClaw sits down and thinks deeply.
DarkClaw says, 'You exuberate warmth and compassion and bring happiness with you.'.
DarkClaw says, 'Why would it not?'.

Samiyah says (in common), 'this is one of those differences that I fear I will never understand '.

DarkClaw grins evilly at you.
DarkClaw says, 'Perhaps in time.'.
DarkClaw says, 'But then we are also individuals that veer more towards physical touch than yourself.'.

Samiyah sits down and thinks deeply.
Samiyah nods.
