She blinked, noticing that it seemed hard for him to ask the question...and when he did ask, she found herself smiling. "In order to aswer that question, one might ask a question in return. But I'll just cut to it and explain it anyways." She sat back down, but this time at the kitchen table. "We'll start with the reason why I breathe at night. I was taught to do it by force of habit. Of course vampires don't need to breathe, but humans do. And since the man that became my master after my first one died realized that I had every intention of attempting to blend in...he taught me to breathe while I sleep...because for some reason humans don't notice that you're not breathing while you're up and around but they do when you're asleep or unconcious."

She pauses at this part, almost pouting because of how irritatingly picky human conciousness is...but she she shrugged it off because it really was no big deal. "and vampires breathe all the time, but only when we are about to talk. Being completely preserved as you were when you died and were turned means that our lungs are preserved as well...It makes it really conveniant because we need to be able to expand and collapse them again so that we can force air over our vocal chords so that we can speak." She smiles, "I've been keeping up on human biology as a sort of...twisted...hobby...thing.. anyways, theoretically we should be able to do the same thing with our hearts...but since we were never able to control them during our human lives, learning would be a great deal harder and it would take more energy and focus. It would take a vampire who's completely dedicated and obsessed with the task to learn....I....I wouldn't be able to. I'm not that desperate...and it's been much too long since I've felt anything like that in my own body..."

she trailed off in thought, her hand coming to rest over where her still heart would be. Soon, to her anyways, that wouldn't be a problem for her. At least, that's what she believed.
