It was pathetic, in a way. To be on top of the food chain and yet yearning to be weaker. He didn't know whether to be thankful that the vampires had a weak link or disgusted by this boy's self-pity complex. He was expecting a hasty apology and a quick departure, not a sob story. He shouldn't have hedged the question at the end. That encouraged further discussion. [color=8585ad]"And yet here you are, squirming in glee over a few sips while they're all calm and composed. You're the one who seems like he's gorging, they're just maintaining the norm."[/color] He clicked his tongue, evidently unmoved by the display. This was likely another incoming student. Everything he said here was ammunition that could be used against him later, if need be. Max was unsure how cutthroat things got around here, but with vampires involved, one can't really be too careful. [color=8585ad]"You're a student here, yeah? Shouldn't you be hunting for your little pet right now?"[/color] He asked, as dismissively as he could muster. Hopefully he'd take the hint. [hr][@Jade Blades]
