My roleplaying partner and I want to play out the relationship between a Vampire and a Faerie, and had a few questions about how that would work out.
First, can the different races feel each other? Like, could a vampire sense that a Faerie isn't human, or do they figure things out the good old fashioned way? And second, would a vampire be able to drink from a Faerie? Would it taste different from a human, or be poisonous or taste like nothing?
I hope I haven't missed this info somewhere. I don't wanna ask questions that have already been answered. So I apologize if that's what I just did. >n< ;

I'm no magical expert, however, I think I have a good idea of how things run here.
1. To have a sense that someone is magical or inhuman, for lack of better terms, isn't necessarily a power beyond vampirism if you make a bit of sense out of it. Perhaps, Riley catches her scent and its different from that of a human. Otherwise, being able to detect differences is a power either added through apps or given as a racial trait for deities (I'm supposing).
2. Vampires can drink anything that has blood. However, blood will have less nutrition and probably a weak taste if its a regular animal vs. human. Blood substitutes probably tastes like cardboard to a vampire. So, I wouldn't see why a vampire couldn't drink from a faerie.

Ah, thank you so much for the quick response, and I appreciate you helping me out with this! <3 I just don't want to play things out the wrong way. It's awesome that they can't sense it in any way--it provides more opportunities for them to figure things out slowly and progress differently.

So, would fariy blood taste just like human blood? c': Or would it taste different since fairies mostly eat dreams and stuff like that? Just checking so hyper and I can get our plot on without pulling a derp canon-wise. xD

Up to you, really--or up to the fae, because there's a big variety of faeries out there. Personally, I think it'd taste like blood, except different, perhaps sweet or bitter (as opposed to coppery) depending on what sort of dreams the faerie's been eating. I don't think it'd be poisonous or tasteless or anything like that normally, although a starved fae's blood might taste like ash and dust?
