He fiddled with the radio for a second, setting it to some generic pop station, just to fill the dead silence before Drake asked him if he was well enough to drive, asked him about home. Ryah paused. There really wasn't much to say. He grew up in a bland, normal household. Mom and dad, two kids, a dog and a white picket fence . Except you know, the entire extended family and close friends all hunted bad guys. Vampires mostly. Though they knew there were other monsters out there. His parents had a business. They had people to run it for them, but it was good income, and it looked good on paper. It was a really nice bed and breakfast actually, and hunting monsters wasn't a terribly lucrative business.<br/><br/>Right now though, his family, and the community as a whole, was dealing with a nasty coven. Last Ryah had heard, there weren't many vampires left. In the week or two he had been gone, the hunting community of Boston had cleared out at least three dozen of them, and most of the rest had fled the city.<br/><br/>Ryah was definitely not the smart one in the family. He had never been very good at planning and thinking ahead. He left it all up to Charlie or the rest of the family. He had struggled in school too and had been glad to graduate and be done with it. The brunet much preferred to be given a gun, told a time and a place, and then he just showed up and kicked ass. It was so much easier that way. Less thinking, less worrying, less stress.<br/><br/>He had always been the one to think with his heart and his gut, rather than his brain, all split-second decisions and instincts. Sure, it had gotten him out of some tight spots in the past, but it had also led to some disasters too.<br/><br/>So when Drake mentioned food, and not the human variety, Ryah refrained from palming his face. Barely. The thought had never even occurred to him. He wracked his brain, wondering how Drake was going to feed. There was no way his family would let him feed off any human. But he needed the blood to survive. "Um... So a blue rare steak is out of the question?" He asked jokingly. He wondered if vampires ever fed from animals. Was that a thing?
