Внимание, пойкилотермные комрады!
Немного, как мне кажется, важной информации, коль скоро зашел разговор о чувствах сородичей:
While a vampire might believe
that he feels an emotion, what he actually feels is the echo of
mortal emotions that the remnants of his soul apply to his
current experience. That is, a vampire who feels angry might
indeed be angry at the subject of his ire, but the resonance of
the emotion actually comes from some situation the vampire
dealt with in life. This condition results in many strange situ-
ations. A vampire who has never experienced a given emo-
tion before becoming Kindred might be emotionally confused,
while a vampiric artist might create a work of “art” that is
awkwardly devoid of any true emotional insight.

Так что имейте ввиду.
На мой взгляд, в этом и состоит основная трагедия и пафос вампиров.
