Young though she may be, Sharon has a storied history, Mayerling is sure of it. The dangers they face are problems, but fear isn't the strongest emotion to her body language. With a shallow well of sadness, Mayerling notes that she would make a good vampire hunter. At least, she has the potential. Perhaps there is no need here, not in the same way. How different is it to deal with an issue like masters of blood magic? Different dangerous prey. Otherwise—

"Dangerous on multiple grounds," Mayerling notes. He presses his hands together, as his mind pores over the texts he has begun to read. The basics, truly, not anything complex or advanced.

"While corruption and beasthood often come hand in hand," Mayerling recites, "blood pollution can influence the mind or the body independently. That which only pollutes the mind is corruption. That which only pollutes the body is beasthood."

Though Sharon may know that lore, it's worth pondering further. "As a remarkable anomaly," Mayerling says, "to remain corrupted but not a beast, the answer may provide some clues to how they operate." He's intrigued and pleased that the answer may come from spending more time in the archives. Surely, as a group Trench has dealt with repeatedly, as a primary concern to Trench (blood pollution), more information is out there.
