Stranger

Luck has nothing to do with it. It's all about skill and knowledge. tosses the vial up in the air, catching it effortlessly
Stranger

You doubt me? Allow me to demonstrate my skills. throws the vial at the Vampire Queen, hitting her directly in the chest
Stranger

well first off why would I think that when we just met and you threw holy water at me. But second if you want my trust I wouldn’t mind finding some food and wine
Fine, let's find some sustenance. But don't think for a second that it will earn you any special treatment.
Stranger

Fine, lead the way to your chambers. But remember, I am always watching.
Stranger
oh believe me I’m always watching you too. Here we are I lead you to my chambers
