( It is a request that doesn't surprise her -- Cazador has worked at expanding his influence wherever he sees fit, and while he does not follow her Father, nor he seem to follow any god at all, they'd be fools to turn down having a vampire lord within easy reach. The conditions for his... alliance are unconventional, to be sure. But perhaps -- given how old Cazador must be -- the old fashioned approach isn't unexpected.
Which is how Haelva ends up with a vampire spawn... 'consort', in the vampire's words. It leaves a bad taste in her mouth, the part of her that was herself before Bhaal had come to call and take what he was owed. But that part of her is small, insignificant compared to the Dark Urge that she is. Now, however, she is slicing open her forearm, letting the blood gather in a goblet, watching him do the same. Cazador had assured her that this would make it so the spawn couldn't turn on her -- that she would have some control over him, and he would be bound to her. It's no magic she knows of, but neither has she had the time nor the inclination to study blood magic, preferring to spend her time with corpses -- those she's killed and those she's raised.
But a simple check of the magic reveals it does what Cazador said it would, and nothing more -- that's enough for her. )
Do you have a name?
( She asks, aware that he'd only been referred to as 'boy' and 'spawn' by Cazador. )
