Thank you for the apology, but know it was unnecessary.

Freeing Galina was only sensical, seeing as she was innocent of the crime. While I won't profess to being knowledgeable about vampires outside of the common information, I don't relish the thought of an innocent soul locked away merely for her state of being. Galina can control her becoming a vampire no more than you or I could control being born (presumably anyway, as I've not met Galina myself).

If there were attendees of my party that overheard us and were uncomfortable I've no knowledge of it. Though, I don't advise announcing one's every politial view for all to hear. It seems a rather risky social move.
