Damned if I know. These things can affect pretty much anything, from what I heard.

[threshold_heir]

It seems impossible. Even magic cannot change someone into a human....

[born_of_wolves]

No, but they can subtract, rather than add, and if you're not gettin' what you need one way, you're gonna' have to get it another. A body's gotta' run on somethin'.

[threshold_heir]

... Mine required very little.

Perhaps you are right. [That may explain his sudden pangs for blood as well as food--which is what he didn't want to mention.]

[born_of_wolves]

So you're a vampire? Ya' dress like it.

[threshold_heir]

......

My clothes were not uncommon for my era.

[A half truth, he's just a bit startled by that connection.]

[born_of_wolves]

Maybe in ye' olden times, but those are expensive duds and nobility still have to eat food, like everyone else.

The fop look is pretty much synonymous with vampires, in the fiction of my time. I prefer the scary versions of vampires, myself. Then again, bein' what I am, I guess I can't speak on it.

[threshold_heir]

I see. ... Perhaps in your time, Vampires no longer trouble the world?

[born_of_wolves]

I doubt they ever did. They're a story. I mean, so am I, but at least I now I exist.

[threshold_heir]

... This truth must vary from world to world. They certainly exist in my own.

[born_of_wolves]

They got werewolves like me, too?

[threshold_heir]

I have encountered werewolves... yes.

[born_of_wolves]

Normal werewolves, or hollywood werewolves?

[threshold_heir]

What do you mean by 'hollywood werewolves?'

[born_of_wolves]

Dumb, slavering beasts, roaming the country for victims. Usualy kills and eats people. Sometimes servin' vampires.

Basically lies, where I'm from.

[threshold_heir]

Usually, they are quite intelligent ... however, some do serve vampires.
