"Combustion?" I ask, the surprise clearly evident, though at this point, I am not sure I should be surprised. So this was Caido's version of vampires in more ways than one, apparently. "You're not kidding," I remark to his horror story comment, my head shaking slightly.
"Sorry - what I mean is, where I am from, there are stories about fanged humans who can't bear the sun and need to drink the blood of mortals to survive. Though occasionally, when they bit another, the other turned into one as well." I follow up, a wry smile touching my lips. "I'm starting to wonder whether those who wrote the stories originated on Earth after all."
I shifted my weight, aware of the time and not wanting to press more questions on the man lest I wear out my welcome. Taking a gulp from my drink, I offer him a soft smile. "Well Neron, I've really enjoyed getting to know you. If you ever need a drop of blood, or want to experience a shift, let me know." I made the offer easily, shrugging, not really completely understanding the depths of his use of the word 'pleasurable' in this sense.
I finish my drink and rise, offering the man my hand to shake, before exiting the Kraai and making my way back to the lodge for the evening.
