Leekath looks really dubious.
"Sound like more trouble than they're worth," says Maggie. "Although I guess if the meat can be raw you wouldn't have to cook exactly."

"They're lighter than they look. I think a bull ghoul is something like a hundred pounds."
"We have a cattle ranch," explains Sky. "And there's only about twenty ghouls in our local clan. And Dad, uh... gives them homeless people, sometimes. Every couple of weeks."

"That does not count as not killing people," says Leekath.
"Be fair, she said she doesn't kill people," says Maggie. "Maybe her kind does it all the time."

"I'd say that's a fair assessment, yeah. They don't always kill people, they think it's wasteful, but they sure as hell don't mind."
"Wasteful," says Leekath. "How about morally wrong?"
"I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you just plain don't get as thirsty as I do," says Maggie.

"It's kind of adorable how human your thinking is. Like a puppy dressed in a suit and tie!"
"...What do wolves have to do with anything?" asks Leekath.

"Not wolves, puppies! Cute little baby dogs. Or wolves, I guess, wolf puppies are probably adorable."
"What's a dog?"

"Bitty little domesticated wolves. You guys didn't domesticate wolves? Your loss, man, they're super cute."
"Wolves are - okay, there are two kinds of wolves, and one kind is people, and the other kind are vicious wild animals..."

"Vicious wild animals that we made into adorable little domestic animals. You guys do have, like, domesticated animals in general, right? Cows? Sheep? Horses?"
"I don't know what a horse is, but we have cows and sheep."

"Dogs are like that, to the wild versions of those. I mean, wild sheep aren't particularly dangerous- well, they can be, but not so much- but it's the difference between a wild bull and a milk cow. Which is substantial. I almost got killed by a wild cow once, and this was after I turned. Anyway, we did that to wolves so we could have animals that would kill mice and protect our homes and stuff."
"We have cats, for mice," says Leekath. "I'll have to take your word for it about wild cows; I've never seen one. And they might not be the same anyway."

"Do not speak to me of cats."
"Your kind of vampire vulnerable to cats?" Maggie asks, raising an eyebrow.
needle-in-echo-groove
"No, but they're vicious filthy little bastards and I hate them."

"Finally someone understands. Why did the humans stop throwing them in rivers again?"
Leekath tries the door again. It disappears when she gets close. "Ugh."

"Lydia, you should really lighten up. Cats aren't even people! We're being perfectly humanitarian."
"Leekath," says Leekath. "Is my name. Not Lydia."

"I know that! I'm just calling you Lydia because you look like the chick from Beetlejuice. You're easily the gothiest person at this vampire bar. Apart from the living corpse, maybe."
"The what?"
"She's not wearing black," Maggie points out. Leekath is in fact wearing slate blue and purple.

"Yeah, but she's got the whole... fangs and pallor and inky-black hair, thing going. I knew girls back in junior high who would've killed for that kind of coloration."
