So you see, I cannot truthfully quantify myself as a vampire or not. So I stick with the Vileblood... and even then, it's not something that has followed me to this place. In fact, almost all of my old particulars with my blood were taken from me... and some have been replaced with the particulars of magic here.

[Like, say, the fire blood, that keeps flaring with little flashes of light and fire every time some drips off her knuckles, though that is becoming less and less.]

Though, I wouldn't say it is a conduit for magic. Not like it is here. You alter the properties of the blood itself. All of the "magic" is already within it; and arcane and bloodtinge are two very different concepts. It is another difference between the blood provided by the saints of the Healing Church, and that of Queen Annalise.

But either way, it was a dangerous game we played. [And why she never really liked using it, or calling upon her abilities after a point. Why she stopped liking being a Vileblood.] ... Eventually, I learned to hate the Blood in all its forms; I hated being a Vileblood from almost the start, but I learned how to hate the rest later on. So not having my old abilities here is as much a boon as anything else.
