[ It's not like Gaia was expecting an answer at all. But she does answer a little more quickly. Delay is likely because of the whole 'hard to type with talons' thing. ]
Yes, human. And obviously not.
[ Like she needed to be reminded he's dangerous regardless of options! ]
But it's good to know it's not rude to offer if we happen to run across each other.
[ You know. Because social situations might happen. ]
[D has no idea how Gaia got to 'it's not rude to offer D food' from D saying 'don't bring me food'.]
In small amounts.
[She is right, it's technically not rude. He just won't enjoy any solid food. The only reason D answers at all is to reduce the amount of food he might one day have to politely accept.]
[ Mostly indirect thoughts about how it'd be rude to offer food to someone who can't really eat it. Or a waste. Or some half-thought social nicety. Something like that. Though his response does seem to clue her in there may be more to read into it. ]
It's alright to say not at all. If you don't have interest in it, or there is some other reason, I'll keep that in mind.
[ Another text follows shortly after. And what's probably the real meat of the question. ]
Sorry. I'm probably just being rude. I got to wondering what it must be like to be a dhampir.
But it's probably rarely the best of terrible options to wait and hope. [ Seems she has that much awareness. She also recalls what he said about how people turned vampires seem to lose their compassion- humanity for lack of a better word. ]
I wouldn't envy your position. But I admire that you have such strength to try to hold onto your... empathy, I guess? Whatever your reason that is. Even if it's just for survival's sake.
[ Gaia seems aware there are other, very realistic reasons than 'compassion for humanity' or 'the sake of others'. And there's nothing wrong with being selfish. ]
[There are a number of things D places higher than his own survival. His decision not to bite humans is one of them, even if human lives usually aren't.]
You're welcome. Anyway I'll talk to you later I guess. Well. You're welcome to ask me any questions if you ever have them in return for answering mine.
[ Note this reprieve is probably only going to last until she gets bored again in a day or so. ]

That's what it's like to be a Dhampir.
