Salthar regretted having choked the Imperial. It was a violent interrogation tactic, although effective at withdrawing the truth. He noticed Drapor leave and them come back some time later, blood trickling from a corner of his mouth. He felt a tinge of sympathy for the younger vampire. He knew what it was like to not be able to control his blood lust.
He noticed Galten fleeing, looking like he might be about to throw up, cry, or both. Sneering at the weakness of mortals, he listened as the bandit leader read off his suspicions about the note. 'I can see why people would have reason to fear me...' he thought, but all he said out loud was: " Interesting...you may be more useful than I originally thought, survivor" he said, but his golden yellow eyes let the man know, that if he attempted to flee again, Drapor wouldn't be able to save him.
Finally he turned to Ysarth "My brother, forgive me, I have not thought to greet you properly" he spoke in high elven, to avoid the others figuring out what he was saying. He clapped Ysarth on the shoulder in a friendly manner, smiling lightly.
