Elliot traced his fingers through the water, creating little ripples as he listened to Cal explain the origins of the creatures. He enjoyed the cadence of the vampire's voice, but was genuinely interested in learning and hearing his thoughts on these things. The vampire didn't partake in small talk but seemed almost happy to answer Elliot's questions. Callan had an interesting outlook on life and the creatures that they shared the forest with. One that it didn’t seem too many other people had. He looked hopefully towards the simple life that they lived here in the forest and refused to drink properly. It was interesting trying to puzzle together the things he was slowly learning about his bond partner.<br/><br/><br/>“I think it’s good to have some mystery,” He said after a while, “It doesn’t do us any good to know everything. It’s kinda weird… they’ve existed for ages, but I’ve never heard of them makes me wonder what other secret things are out there,” He swirled his fingers in a little circle, thinking, even the existence of vampires was a rather recent realization for humans as a whole. Yet there had been humans serving as servants alongside them for years. Now Elliot was one of the few in the know. It was like he was in on some secret, now he too knew about these magical creatures and that made him smile.
