"I don't lie to you often..." which was true. There wasn't any need for Carter to lie about anything. But as Asa continued, he fell silent until he'd finished explaining. He understood well enough and the withdrawal seemed obvious. He didn't feel addicted to the blood he'd been taken, but he did enjoy the sweet taste that the pill left on his taste buds. But he knew Asa would help him through any difficulties he faced. "I see..." It also explained how he managed to hear someone approaching his door from down the hall. The only one who normally caught him off guard was Asa and his ghost like footsteps.<br/><br/>"Hmm" he hummed softly. "Good. You know me well enough. You're stuck with me" and he hoped they'd be stuck together for a long time. Dying or not, he knew how to push himself through one day to the next. The only thing he'd need to look out for was the staff. Carter might be able, but he was a lot slower than the average human, which could prove difficult if anyone came looking for him.<br/><br/>He doubted he'd uncover any more secrets from Asa, but if the vampire did go into hiding, he was sure he'd find something lying around. Carter would burn the house to the ground if he had too. "Maybe not. But people can grow sloppy too. I'm not going to hunt for anything for now" he'd uncovered enough for his brain to process for a good few months at least.<br/><br/>It was a discovery he didn't think of finding. Carter wasn't even sure what to make of it. Everything made sense, but what had he expected. If Asa hadn't been a vampire, would he have acted this calm about everything? He'd witnessed him kill someone in the basement after all. But that seemed completely normal now... In a strange way. Vampires killed to feed after all... right?<br/><br/>Silence fell as Carter continued to turn things around in his head. He stayed close to Asa with his head resting against his shoulder for a good while until he asked about their plans for the day. The comment about studying drew a laugh from him. "Wasn't I studying when you came into my room?" he asked shifting back to look at Asa again. He understood why Nancy had ratted him out, but that didn't make him any less pissed off at her. "Pfft - I do. But so do you" he muttered. As for going into town,.. He wasn't sure. Look what happened the last time.<br/><br/>His fingers tightened slightly around Asa's clothing as he thought for a few seconds. "You'd be going right? I mean... Yeah. I'd like too. Getting out the house would be a nice change" But he was sure Asa would be able to hear his uncertainty. He gently withdrew and slipped from his lap, looking down at his clothes and giving them a little pat down to get rid of any creases. "Will I need to change, or is what I have on okay?" he questioned with a small smile.
