Valery and Victor remained together in silence. Victor was a little uncomfortable in the chair. Unlike the vampires, he didn't feel at all comfortable in the chair, even though Valery tried to make sure the chair wasn't too cold.

Of course, it would be somewhat uncomfortable for Victor, and he understood the nature of the element; that was the difference between a mortal being.
Even if Valery were a Duke and not a Marquis, she could not change the nature of her own element, and if she did, it would be something else, and that something else would become something beyond her control. The Archdukes in ancient times tried many ways to understand their own powers and understood this fundamental rule that later generations also understood.
A concept cannot be altered.
