Okay. Well, I really wouldn't want your brother to sacrifice any more of his life force for you or for anyone. So, I think what I'm really bad at saying is that, yes, you can have some of my blood. And I really wish you well and I hope you find the key to the lock you need.
( But, she has to ask. )
If you did find the solution, what would it look like for others that might want the same thing? Would you need more of mine or my aunt's blood?
Not sure at this point, but probably not. This is more about data points than spell components.
[She takes another sip of her coffee before setting it down on the table.]
So think of yours, Rebekah and Kol's blood as three respective data points. Kol is a magic user as a human who can't use magic as a vampire, you're a magic user as a human who can use magic as a vampire, and Rebekah is in the middle. A human who can use magic who used to be a vampire.
We don't know why the magic that makes people vampires negates most former witches ability to use magic. Like sure, it's a consequence of becoming a vampire, but what does it actually do to you. What does your blood and magic do differently than Kol's? Once I figure that out, then I'll move into the components end of things, but I think it's going to be more about finessing the magic of the original vampire spell versus using your blood every time.
[She pauses.]
And if your blood does wind up being a major component needed, then that's a non-starter for me. I won't put you in that position. You've got enough bullshit on your plate, I'm not looking to make it worse. I'll give you the research and you can decide what you want to do with it.
We share my grandmother's grimoire, did my aunt Rebekah already show you the spell?
( Because, it was also very pointedly made for her family. And it goes even farther back, thanks spell history and lineage. They don't have Quetsiyah's. It sounds like hers might actually be the best point of origin, but again, that's lost to - from what she's heard - a suicidal, slightly crazy witch who once took away her uncle Stefan's memory. )
Well, for the record, I hope you can do this. And even more than that, I hope you can do it in time. There's no good studies on when vampirism is rejected, but I hope you know what your doing with your time table. And thank you, for coming to be in person.
Thank you for considering it. And I was serious about doing a full assay for you. Anything you want to know about your blood and I can probably figure it out.
[It'd be nice to bond with the members of Kol's family who are closer to her own age. They really are ancient, when you spend longer than five minutes around them.]
And yeah, he is. At least for right now. Crash may get called back to their job, and he may go with, but he's at least here through the weekend.
( She doesn't begrudge anybody their identities, but the Crash she met seems very feminine. And quite British. Not that that also... defines anything. )
Crash is a shapeshifter and very genderfluid. Their presenting gender depends on the vibe. That look I think they call "Jolene."
[Yes, that Jolene.]
Most of them are named after famous songs. I don't think that's a shapeshifter thing, though, I think it's just a Crash thing. I've met some who default to different variations on one gender versus the other for day-to-day stuff.

Cool. He can invite Crash, too. However they want to come.
( Nice. )
