-Not that old- Well Asa couldn't have been far off it. Anything over a hundred was considered old in human years. "Hmm... Well, not far off it. the 18th century wasn't that different either" he said trying to think back to his history sessions. But there were only a few parts that really stuck with him... and none of it was good. But Asa didn't seem like anyone he'd read about. He was completely different... Or maybe he'd just grown different over time? He wondered what his guardian had been like as a male human... He'd obviously been something to behold and the soft tug to his hair just made his smile widen. "Oi" he chuckled, giving Asa a gentle nudge with his shoulder. "My opinion is my own. You're not a predator to me. You're Asa... Charms wear off after awhile and I'm sure you've let one or two others within the house before... If so, why didn't they have the same effect?" he asked curiously. But he was trying to prove a point. His eyes and attention only stayed with Asa.<br/><br/>"It shouldn't need to be that way..." Why did people need to part? Why did they need to grow bored? To Carter, Asa had given the two a gift... One without illness. They'd manage to live a full life without needing to worry about time. Carter could only imagine what that would be like. Fully mobile without the worry of how his body was going to cope with the day ahead... A part of him claimed he was being greedy or ungrateful for everything Asa had already done for him. But what good was life if you couldn't live it like a normal person?<br/><br/>A quiet sigh escaped him and his gaze drifted slightly as he continued to think things over. Blood. Carter hadn't caught Asa drinking from anyone in the house. He managed to live and survive with staff within the house, so he was curious to work out how. How much blood lust did a vampire hold? -I've been careful to keep that away from you. Where would we be if I had no control over blood and it's effect on me-<br/>Carter wasn't sure how to respond to that. He'd most likely have became a food source a long time ago. Another source of compost for the earth to eat up when his body was laid to rest. But luckily Asa kept talking. His eyes focused on his guardians once more and a small smile set on his face. He raised a palm and gently placed it upon Asa's cheek, stroking his thumb over his soft skin.<br/><br/>"If I do, I do. I know why you hide yourself. I know why you're not in the house all the time. I just want to 'know you' - the proper you. I'm not a weltering flower Asa. But I'm glad I discovered you. Who knows how old I'd have grown without knowing..." he said setting his hand back down so his arm could once again set around Asa's waist to hold him close. "Is there anything else I need to know? I'd rather find out now... Or do I need to do some more hunting of my own?" he said half in a playful tone, but he knew Asa knew he was being serious. Nothing would stay hidden if Carter was around.
