"True," he agreed with a faint smile, considering that even in times of peace he often carried them if he was planning on doing anything out of the ordinary. This was what he got for thinking a simple walk to a friend's house would be ordinary on Caido though! The one time he didn't have his supplies with him, of course, was when he needed them. "But Vai will set you right as rain better than I could anyways," he continued, and then chuckled at her quip. "Unique, indeed. Which may be a blessing or a curse, depending on your temperament."

"Something no longer human on the outside, though very much still human on the inside - with all the good and bad that can entail. They're weakened by sunlight, strengthened by night, and drink blood for... various reasons. Including borrowing or stealing the abilities of Abandoned or Attuned," he added as a careful warning.
