Sorine asked me, why I would trust a vampire. I had after all joined a legion that swore to slay them and rid them off the land. And she reminded me of how many vampire lives I had had the pleasure of ending with a well-placed arrow in the throat. But now I had not only put my trust in a monster but even brought it into the fort. When she asked me like that, right in that moment, I didn't know what to reply. I thought I just immediately trusted her, even though it seemed strange. I thought about what she had asked for days. Why would I trust her? And while she was sneaking up on the deer she had planned for our lunch, I observed her from a distance, and then it dawned on me. One of the main reasons for liking Serana as I did was, that she had asked me who my father was because she honestly didn't know. She was the first person I had run into who didn't know of him. And the funny thing was, that when I asked her about her father, she said exactly what had been on my mind "You're the first one I've met who doesn't already think they know something about me because they know of my father." Suddenly like that we had met on a level that was far beyond me being her escort and her being just another job. I couldn't completely shed the possibility that Sorine was onto something. That there was a chance that Serana could be merely using me to get an inside grope on the Dawnguard. But our banishing from Castle Volkihar by her father Harkon, it all seemed so real. She seemed so sincere. Despite the glowing, yellow eyes.
