She frowns when he says that, looking over at him as she takes a moment to actually listen to his heartbeat. Oh. Oh wow. Was he... was he a...? Holy crap. Was he?
Riley had an overwhelming urge to poke at him to see if he was real, but she kept her hands to herself. He seemed remarkably skittish for a vampire, if that's what he was, and she didn't want him turning into a bat and flying away. Haha, a bat. Really? Maybe. She'd read all sorts of stories about vampires, and Dracula could turn into a bat and a wolf, right? Who knows what kind he was? Dracula could also go out in the sun and Hal didn't look like he was a shining disco ball or like he was bursting into flames.
She'd never actually met a vampire before. They were as much myths to her kind as her kind were to humans. Maybe they did exist in her world, but if that was the case, she'd never met them. Have a werecat giving you a look, Hal. It was full of awe and curiosity and made her look about five.
