You enter a room covered in soft pillows. The only light source is a fireplace, and there is some sort of a perfume in the air.
Thick is laying on the middle with a very pretty mare. He is a rather normal looking pony with a light yellow coat and dark brown mane.
Despite your calm tone, he panics and hides under the pillows.
"I didn't do nothin'! Don't take me away, I'm leading a good and chaste life!"

He appears from the pile of pillows and walks next to his whore again.
"Well. Vampires? Right. I usually get paid for this stuff, but I presume I can just leave you a bill."
He takes out a note book and browses through a couple of pages.
"Right. Here. Uhh… some weird casket deliveries at the gates. Weird people going around the stores here. Activity in the grave yards. That's all I know that could be related to your vampire."
