She rolled her eyes.
"Figures, people back home pay thousands to look younger than they are and all you have to do is drink blood. It just isn't fair."
Her voice held joking sarcasm as she took another bite of meat.

Elexa seemed amused. "Are you envious?"
Her question held nothing but curiosity.

She thought for a moment before replying.
"Not really. I wouldn't be able to.. Well, you know. Besides, living 70-odd years is plenty for me!"

"Your world's humans... they live that long?"
In Elexa's society, fifty was old for a human. Some lived longer, sure, but seventy years? It was amazing...

"Yeah, that's about the average life length now. Advances in medical science and all that jazz."

She nodded. "Your science seems to be a wonderful thing..."

"In some ways it is. There are people working to find cures for diseases and keep people alive longer... But there's also a bad side to it. The technology is being used for the wrong reasons. People are using it for their own personal gains or, in some cases, genocide. Technology is definately a double-edged sword."

Elexa shook her head. "Human nature never changes... if there's one thing to be learned from a long life, that's it."
She smiled. "I'm sorry.. it seems we've run off on a depressing tangent."

She shrugged, smiling.
"Well, it's talked about one way or another. Doesn't change the truth."

She nodded. "Do you like it here in Nerezza?" she asked, changing the subject.

"Yeah. it's great! Decent food, large castles to explore, lots of potential adventures. It's certainly a lot better than the city."

"Even though it's dark here all the time, and the home of vampires and demons?"
She was interested in Faeylinn's reply.

"That just makes it more fun."
She grinned and then took a few more bites of meat.

Elea smiled. "The Prophet was right when she arranged for your arrival. You do not judge others; you are brave. You seek out adventure... and yet, I believe you have a strong sense of justice."
She summed up the positive aspects of Faey's chracter she'd observed since meeting her in rapid succession.

"Uhh..."
She didn't really know how to respond to that, she didn't get compliment often and wasn't good at accepting them either.
"Thanks, I guess...?"
