"You can have all the power in the world....but a bullet into an artery is still a big deal. They got lucky, and I had to run. Men like you who believe us immortal monsters often are victims of a sneaky blade or a poisoning. We are mortal like all else. As for the child, you say you are following what you think is good, and I respect that. I how ever think those orphanages are horrible places where abuse and anger brew, and I won't let another poor soul be put though a hell like that again. So you can try to take the girl, but you'll have to take her by force." He says, his eyes looking menacing despite his silly attire.
