[ WP ] You , a lawyer are literally a blood sucking monster . You 're a vampire and take your payments in blood .

`` Indeed'', Hintriikki said as he descended from one of the shelves of this monstrous library. `` Indeed, indeed, indeed. The numbers are all wrong.'' 
 
 `` *Their* numbers, I presume?'' Thomas tried, but the pale figure shook his head, blond hair whisking around his shoulders. 
 
 `` No, everyone's figures. Everyone's figures are wrong. But theirs are the most, and they are alive.'' There was a faint fire of vengeance to his voice, one which Thomas had never heard before. This faint, pale poor creature truly did not care for anything but his beloved numbers. 
 
 There had been so many stories of vampires being obsessed with counting, and yet none of them were applied by common sense and present day. Hell, in Bulgaria, it was said if you spill a bag of poppy seeds before a vampire outdoors, it will be compelled to count every single one and die as the sun rises upon it! 
 
 Either way, vampires liked counting, and accountants were important for that. Thomas ignored the uncomfortable stare. Hintriikki had been alive since somewhere around the start of 19th century, turned from some peasant or lesser nobility in some vague area in Finland or Estonia, that was as far as Thomas understood. But math, math never changed. And neither did vampires. 
 
 `` You see this?'' Hintriikki asked him, pointing his thin, pale finger to a row of numbers. `` It ought to match this.'' He moved his finger to another string, which indeed did not match at all. 
 
 `` So that's where they've been stealing'', Thomas muttered, being sure to take the decades-old documents in good care. 
 
 `` That's where the numbers are wrong'', Hintriikki agreed, his pale gaze staring somewhere far ahead. The sun would rise soon. 
 
 `` Then it is time for your reward'', Thomas muttered, rolling up his sleeve to reveal the vulnerable skin of his elbow joint, the old cut still stained dark by vampire saliva.
