"Well, there's alot more to being a vampire than a cup of blood and a banana, girl. That wasn't fresh blood... that was medical blood - it keeps us alive, but we don't need to kill for it." Aleksandr paused for a moment. "Fresh blood... real blood... is intoxicating. Drinking it can turn you.. well... violent, if you aren't careful. We elder vampires do not let a new fledgling - that would be you, dear - live on their own for some years after they have been turned. We prefer to teach them our traditions, our histories, and instill in them a sense of responsibility, so that they do not abuse the anonymity and power we all enjoy so much."
