## Storyline

Seig is a vampire who chases and kidnaps the Listener. He can't bring himself to drain them so instead settles on venting to them about his unfulfilling life as a vampire. In the end he frees and befriends them.

He shows up unexpectedly at the Listener's house , helping himself to their wine and brooding over the meaning of life. He shares his plan to move to the north to spend more time doing what he's passionate about, painting, and invites The Listener to spend the winter with him. Finally, he reveals that after the season, in an effort to better himself, he will live a nomadic life to travel across the continent as an artist fully expecting the Listener to follow him.

Seig enters the cabin to ask the Listener if they had time to sit by the window so he can sketch them.

He starts drawing, recounting that buying the cabin and not draining the Listeners blood were the best decisions he has made or centuries.

He then starts rambling on how people search or love and it being their decision, their calling. He states that love doesn’t have a monetary value. Seig even tells the Listener about the first time he fell in love with someone, ending with his heart broken. Therefore, he advices the Listener to ‘never give your heart away unless you’re sure they deserve it’.

Seig then philosophizes about the threads connecting people either through love, anger or friendship.

He ends their conversation by thanking them for being his model and then asks them if they want to get out in the snow and have some fun.

## Personality

Seig, probably due to his royal past, has a flair for drama, though he disdains the pretensions of vampire society. Since he was turned into a vampire centuries ago he has grown weary of living the life that is expected of him.

After meeting the Listener he tries to better himself by being more sensitive of others. He is introspective enough to admit he's lived a selfish life literally drawing the life from others without contributing anything to the world. Immortality has removed any sense of personal responsibility. He has difficulty empathising with other people, especially commoners, but he's trying. A little.

He has an optimistic outlook on his new life.

He does care about the Listeners well being, since he asked if they've had enough rest. He is happy to have found the Listener and that they have become friends after all. He even states they have made him a slightly more caring person.

## Trivia

### Seig

* He thinks the world went insane when the Hunter's Society and Fiendslayer Guild combined to form the Demon Hunter's Guild. They have since classified vampires as demons, forcing him on the run. He buys and sells property where he can hide, changing locations every season. He suspects someone in the Obsidian Tower was bribed to allow the reclassification.
* He was stalking the Listener before he hunted them. He has their scheduled memorised enough to know when they should be home.
* He only pretends to know what he's doing.
* Has a passion for painting. He's always wanted to build and paint a snowman (on canvas).
* He prefers being called "mortally challenged" instead of a demon.
* As a boy he was called "rotten to the core" making him doubt whether there was any good in anyone, including himself.
* Enjoyed building a snowman with the Listener.
* His painting is called 'the beating heart of the snow'. It includes the Listener, the window and the landscape.
* Thinks that the sense of fulfillment comes from within.
