"[color=lightpink]You can tell all that?[/color]", Kyran asked.

	[i]Nope! Not at all![/i] Rolf thought to himself. Truth be told, it was very difficult to tell apart vampires physiologically after their fangs were grown in completely, but he wasn't about to tell anyone that. It was easier to just make a comment out of nowhere and watch one's partner's reaction. There had been a miniscule hint, though. Rolf didn't feel quite the same sense of intense predatory hunger when Kyran looked at him, as though he hadn't yet completely gotten used to thinking of humans as food yet. He would keep that part to himself too.

	Rolf eyed Kyran for a few moments, then leaned forwards as the young vampire prodded his teeth to get a better look. Pristine condition, razor sharp, zero decay. It was almost as if he were examining newly acquired livestock. He pulled himself upright again.

"[color=lightpink]You're pretty smart, huh?[/color]"

	Rolf shrugged and waited calmly. The excitement had started wearing off, bringing the urge to sleep back even more powerful than before, along with a small flurry of thoughts bordering on dreams. [i]Should be an interesting few years. Never actually [/i]lived[i] with a vampire before, much less one my own age... Hm. Shit, I don't think I've met many vampires who weren't lying half-dead on my table or dropping some other half-dead guy off. Wow. Research opportunity! Wait, wait, wait. No. Bad Rolf. He's a [u]person[/u], not an experiment![/i]

"[color=lightpink]...makes more sense. Yeah, let's find that place.[/color]"

	Rolf woke up when he started to fall over. He blinked a few times as he processed the tail end of what Kyran was saying. "[color=0072bc]Hm? Wha...? Oh. Right. Yeah, let's, uh... get going.[/color]" He grabbed one end of the massive rolling trunk and dragged it along behind him, completely in the wrong direction. Some of the weaker paver stones cracked under the trunk's wheels.
