Oh, you just aren't mean enough!  Time to do to her what I do to the
telemarketers who used to get though: mess with their head!!
Ask her questions about the grammar of Fampónd.  Ask her vocabulary
questions.  Hey, maybe she'll even complete the language for you!
Shoot, poke holes in her logic.  If she "just became one of you" how is
it that she's the queen already?  If all else fails, make fun of her
typos.  Ask her if the "moral" world is different from the "mortal" world.

Yeah, those vampire fanatics can be a trip, eh?

Have fun!
