"That usually isn't good enough for murder, sir. If he had attacked you, you could have defended. There would be no question then. This was a simple robbery, one that you could have called the guard to resolve or done so without killing him.
Unless your life depended on that medallion?"

Kaitan speaks in a soft whisper.
"What life?"

Kaitan speaks in a soft whisper. "What life?" "Or lack thereof. Some Undead like to think of it as life. Please answer the question."

Kaitan shakes his head slowly.
"No, my life doesn't depend on it."
There is a slight emphasis on the word 'my.'

*The Cleric seems like he has already decided Kaitan was guilty as sin, but the door opens and Eldaris walks in, closing the door behind him.*
"Thanks George. I'll take over from here."
*George grumbles and walks out as Eldaris takes a seat.*
"Whose life depends on it?"

"The lives of the people near me."

"Can you please be more specific? How does their lives depend on it and who are they? This may be your only chance of getting out of this."

"If I lost the medallion I would lose my..."
He tries to think of the right word.
"My control. My sanity."

"If I lost the medallion I would lose my..." He tries to think of the right word. "My control. My sanity." "So, by him stealing it, you lost it at that moment to reclaim it. So, tell me, do you keep yourself from feeding? Also, why did you call him an "animal"?"

Kaitan nods in answer to the first question.
"I try to... restrain myself from feeding. It's not possible to stop completely. The hunt is as vital as the feeding itself.
I... I try to only kill criminals."

Kaitan shrugs.
"I meant is as an insult to the man, not to people in general. I usually respect my victims and pay my respects to them."
He holds one hand out, palm up, to show the man the deep scars there.
"See?"

"I see. Still, for a vampire, it is a dangerous to say that. It implies the vampire views others as cattle, and have no respect for life, and hence, the laws protecting it.
I will ask you this: was the kill accidental or intentional? A Zone of Truth has just been placed over the room."

"It depends on what you mean. I meant to kill him, yes, but I wasn't exactly... in my right mind."

"It depends on what you mean. I meant to kill him, yes, but I wasn't exactly... in my right mind." *Eldaris sighs. Pleading insanity.* "Ok. Thank you. We will have to keep you here for a little longer."
