Alyxander winced at Kate's first question, of how he came to be a vampire. "I'd rather not bring that up." He replied, trying to be polite. He really didn't want to talk about it, it was painful. "I will say that I was not born a vampire." There was a hint of sorrow and bitterness to his voice, though he tried to hide it. "Don't worry about be being able to get up. I could have walked yesterday without you and Ann supporting me." He added. "I may be a bit weak and unstable on my feet but once I'm able to get up and move around I won't seem as such. My legs tend to  grow weak when I stay immobile for too long."
