Remilia the Elder is a good woman. She knows there are three types of homicide: criminal, justifiable, and laudatory.

That's just plain adorable.

Yep. Remilia hasn't yet put together that Gryph is from a future with thousands of sapient races, and he knows good people from just about all of them and has had lovers from a pretty decent share. Hopefully, when she finally comes into contact with greater galactic society, that may finally disabuse her of the notion that people would consider vampires as something uniquely terrible, rather than just neighbors with odd dietary and skin protection habits.

I really did not even think about the possibility of you including that somewhere. Well done.

All in all, a nice comfy movement, and I can't wait for the next one.
