the questions of our times: formality and vampires

[rm]

This, thanks to a discussion started by weirdquark. Please do visit the comments where you will learn many things including the many ways formality is structured in different languages (something my questions did not fully take into account, and I apologize for that), werewolf pack dynamics considerations, and whether there are vampires in France.

German has duzen and siezen for the informal and formal, respectively. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of etiquette for who offers the 'du', but I don't know it. (Well, it's almost certainly never me who gets to decide to use the informal, which makes things easy.)
