She had asked Odin if there was a private spot at the swineherd. As he owned it, it wasn't probably all that difficult. Together they headed there and she let him guide her to a empty room if it was necessary. She didn't know very well where to start. So it was probably the best to just cut the case and start about the obvious: "About a month ago I was bitten and turned into a vampire myself." What more could she say, she would be more or less waiting for questions. But well it felt so left in the open that she quickly added a few extra words, "Mabuz is making blood pills. Hoping it would stop the urge to drink blood. Up till now it doesn't work. He suspects it but isn't a hundred percent sure. Nothing has a taste anymore. Eating even became rather difficult. But I try to act as if I am still.. human." It was the first time she said it out loud that she wasn't human and it actually did hurt her own feelings. She didn't see a positive thing in this change yet. Something she did. Most times she didn't. She clenched her first. She felt also kind of stupid. Being turned into one. On the other hand the vampire that did it wanted to kill her, unfortunately for him he was the dead one now.

Vampire, the word felt strange to say, even think, as it echoed in Odin's mind. Sure, he had heard stories, everyone had, of the fearful creatures who roamed the night, preying on the innocent to suck their blood and help sate their insatiable hunger. That was what Odin had witnessed when his partner had opened her door. Corpses littering the room, a crazed animal-like version of Nastasya... feeding on the blood that painted the room.
And now here they both were, the demon and the vampire, having walked back from the quest to a private conference room known only to Odin himself inside the Swineherd Pub. They would not be disturbed while they were here, and this wouldn't be a conversation that one would want to have interrupted.
A month ago, that's how long it had been since she had been turned, before any of the missions the two of them had completed as a pair. All that time, and not once did Odin notice any changes, not once did he ask, not once did she say. The dark mage would sit in silence in the room which comprised of two chairs and a small table. Odin simply waited until Nastasya had finished speaking before opening his own mouth, having known what to ask since she finished speaking.
"Why pretend to be a human when you are one no longer? You're a vampire, you are not a human, Nastasya. Now tell me exactly what this new race allows you to do. I know the negatives: sunlight, blood et cetera, now tell me what you can do."

She had decided from a few days after the change that she wanted to tell Odin. But it never really happened because she didn't take those steps or something else happened. There were moment that she was so close to telling but at the days of their jobs, they walked away too fast again.
She was finished speaking and her lilac eyes tried to look every where except at Odin. She didn't really understand why she was so nervous, she had told someone else. At that moment she had told in anger and stupidity. She had done that a lot but well that didn't change anything at the moment.
His question, came actually as a surprise. She wanted to say something but all she got was a fish effect. "Because.. Because.." she started, not sure what to actually say, how to form her thoughts, which was a weird thing to think. "I thought for now that it was smarter to go with the Human act because it wouldn't be something special. You know, I was afraid I would stand out." She took a deep breath after saying that. He was right, but if she wanted to keep a secret identity, she had to remain a secret in total. But there was more to the question, the positive side of being a vampire. "Oh well the positive sides are that I'm silent. Like most people don't hear me coming when I walk around in the hotel, even if I wear heels. I can see through spells, like I can simply see them, no matter what. I can see people who bleed from quite a distance. I don't know exactly how far. And uhm.. well I now use blood magic?" Which she really had to continue training and make new spells.

Silent moving, enhanced sight, and new improved form of magic, using blood. It seemed that whatever her issues involving blood and the sun were greatly outweighed by the positives of her new abilities, causing Odin to nod as she listed them off, before finally speaking.
"Nastasya, don't be so fucking pathetic, or I'll kill you myself. You have new abilities, and you have become a different person. Everything has a cost, and it sounds like yours was a pretty good trade off, although we'll need to test out this new magic of yours soon. You'll probably need to get Icarus to change your name though, Shadow just doesn't work as well anymore. Oh, and if you ever try to feed on me, I will kill you without hesitation, that is the only warning you'll receive."

She didn't say anything, her jaw simply was shut from remaining to say some things. She ahd hoped he would understand, she had thought.. stupid thoughts. As always she was more disappointed in something she had expected, that would never happen. She should have known, she knew Odin a bit better thanks to the many jobs they had done, why would she expect something else. It was better than crying, that was pathetic, but she wasn't, she was angry.
She rolled her eyes when he was done talking, "Are you done? Cuz that was pathetic too. Warning me to not bite you, no shit." damn this guy, damn them all. She didn't need them, and they obviously didn't need her. She should continue on her own, her own plans, she stared at the white fox that was in the room looking and sniffing around, okay maybe the two of them but Victoire was no human, neither was she herself. "I know that I got a few new amazing abilities, I don't blame that, I don't want to lose that I don't mind being a vampire. I just don't want people to put two and two together. I have been too long in Oak to simply change everything immediately. That would be something that the hotel staff and many people I see in the village might notice. I did it to be careful. However as soon as I go to another town I am no longer going to take on that act." Of course she was simply a thing, simply an object needed for Grimoire Heart, only needed for strength and power and magic. So that needed to be seen. She refrained from sighing, what else had she expected. She always had handled it that way, was she becoming soft simply because of some happenings?
The only thing that she hadn't thought about was a new nickname, Shadow was fine to her. As she was still silent and could see fine in the dark, she was like a hidden shadow, but not entirely the same as she had been before. Did people in Grimoire Heart change nicknames? She would think about it.

Apparently she really liked her new vampire powers, and wouldn't give them up even if she was offered. The reason she had pretended to be human even when she wasn't was simply due to the fact that she was trying not to make it obvious to the people in Oak town that she was now a vampire, because apparently everyone would be able to find out that she was a vampire, which definitely wasn't true. Whatever was going through Nastasya's head, Odin couldn't explain it, nor would he bother trying to. From what he had worked out, she was happy with her new powers, and pretending that she was still human was just a façade. She also seemingly had control over her urges, something Odin wasn't completely sure about, but that was nothing to do with Nastasya, Odin just didn't trust anyone that could instantly turn and attack without warning because of an uncontrollable hunger for blood. It was another reason to distrust her, no matter what gifts she now possessed. It mattered little who she was when in control, she had the potential to become a monster, and so Odin had to be wary, not to mention ready to kill her at a moment's notice.
"Whatever you say. At the end of the day you are now stronger, so that's all that really matters."

She looked at Victoire, "That's all I had to tell you." she said with a shrug. She stood up from the chair and lifted up Victoire in her arms and she walked to the door. Unless Odin had something to say to her she would walk away.
