It's a bit interesting to learn about the more recent traditions of humans. To think that Saint Valentine is associated with romantic love is a bit... peculiar to me considering his history, but I suppose I can see how it may have evolved.
Regardless, the people of Wallachia would celebrate Dragobete on February 24th. There's obviously less interest within the vampire community, but I am aware of its traditions and it appears to be similar to your Valentine's Day for its purposes. Dragobete was the son of Baba Dochia, who herself is essentially the personification of the end of a difficult winter and the start of spring, which in itself is often associated with fertility. Due to this, the day is also known as "the day when the birds are betrothed." Dragobete himself is a character of immense kindness and was chosen as the Guardian of Love.
I suppose in perspective, this will be my first time celebrating either. I would also like to ask if your culture has their own way to celebrate love, or fertility as it can be seen as.
My other question: I would like to know if there is anyone ordained here. I am looking for holy water to be made.

[ Is this guy a honest to the gods vampire, because. Uh. Uhhh. Fjord can't help staring, wary even through the video feed, but then the rest of what he has heard sinks in and he looks less concerned than bewildered as he metes out his words carefully. ]
I've never heard of a vampiric guardian of love, before. That seems ... counterproductive to what would be its nature.

[ Aw, shit. Rule one of vampires: don't make them angry.
Maybe they're always angry.]No more than anyone with some general knowledge of them in Wildemount, I would suppose.

Then I suppose it's worth noting to yourself to make no real assumptions on our nature. A vampire is no more or less wicked than a common human.

[ Sassy blond bastard. ]
You're obviously not the regular sort of vampire we have back home, that was all I was thinking. They are literal monsters where I come from, I wouldn't expect them to just hang out and chat like this.
