"Well, Iris is sorta my sister, but she's about my age—she's just bigger than I am. But even if I'm small, I don't have to listen to anyone if I don't want to. I bet you think I'm a baby."
Is that so? That's too bad. There's lots of rides with a height minimum.
[Hmm... he's going to try thinking of an especially depressing memory, just... dragging his entire mood down into the dumps with the hopelessness of his situation, even if he keeps his outward expression neutral.]
She goes kind of oddly calm. But the feelings do just... start receding. It doesn't seem to change her, though. Or at least that you can tell? Maybe she's just good at pushing some things aside.
"I don't know. I guess I'll keep doing what I've always done."
"Eeh—I was trying to be sneaky! The taste isn't as strong as it is with vampires, but it's not bad."
The more you think about your badfeels, and the more she keeps taking them away—you realize that it's not just the bad feelings leaving you. You're feeling more tired the longer this goes on.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
Some other things?
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
"Some other things! Your hair is really cool, by the way."
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
Thanks!
Did someone tell you what you are and aren't supposed to eat?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
How are you feeling now, buddy
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
Really? And you're still going to get bigger? Wow!
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
For a moment she looks very distant and neutral, and then the feeling of surprise... sort of vanishes.
"I don't change."

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
"Well—in any case, I can do what I want most of the time, anyway. There's a lot fewer folks who can make me do anything now..."
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
If all of them go away, what are you planning to do then?
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
"I don't know. I guess I'll keep doing what I've always done."
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
Is it really that tasty, by the way?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
So you prefer to feed off the emotions of other vampires?
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
"Mhm... I guess since they don't change, either, it makes the flavor like... stronger? Like what some of the others say about wine. I dunno."
Somewhere outside—maybe from another room, you also hear a peal of what's either laughter or sobbing, maybe.
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
Ages like fine wine, huh... Ah, what was your name again?
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
When you try to move—well, you can, there's nothing stopping you, but you're feeling very weak.
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
Sam, thanks! I'll be off now, but try not to eat up the others, will you?
[TIME TO GO FIND WHO WAS LAUGHING AND/OR SOBBING.]
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
You think you hear the laughing/crying in... the Emotion section, maybe?
