The skullbird chirruped softly back at the catvyrn. It wasn't old enough yet to form words, despite being able to understand nearly any creature with it's mental imagery, so it thought back images of a nest of bones with the emotion of safety and comfort. It very much liked the skull it occupied, having yet to grow out of it's current skull. It sent along a few images of young skullbirds, telling the other familiar that it was still a hatchling.

Rex shrugged. "It's possible. My mother was half vampire. What she was exactly I'm not sure, Dad never spoke about it, other than he loved her and it was the reason he removed himself from the rest of the family." He thought over the many times he asked and was only brushed off. "He did say that I was different than most of the other vampires. Hell I'm barely thirty and I'm stronger magically than any vampire I've come across. Not much so in physical strength, it's pretty average."

Rex smiled when Jay said he would help. "That's wonderful. I will do my best to handle preparations on my end. However, working with you must remain as secret as possible. Neither of our kin would handle this... Well." He shook his head. "They are too set in their ways to see past their prejudices. We'll be relatively on our own."
