He was a very observant person, insightful at times as well, so he could easily pick up on the slight disappointment from the older man though he couldnâ€™t read his mind. Itâ€™s been something heâ€™s been able to do since he was little, pick up on minor things that people never really paid attention to. It was probably one of the reasons he was good was his profession though he never really considered himself a hunter. By the tone of the older manâ€™s voice, he could tell he was concerned, still skeptical even if he did show he truly did want to help. Normally he would brush such a thing aside but for some reason there was something mildly unsettling about this. Not that he was worried about being unwanted of course, not if they didnâ€™t want him here perhaps they really would have said so when the guard questioned him.<br/><br/>In silence he listened to the older man speak when he replied to his question. It wasnâ€™t as helpful as he had hoped, but nonetheless it was something he should consider and would prove to be a nice tip when he finally confronted the vampire. The new moon was about a day away from what he heard. What threw him off a bit however, was the fact that children seemed to be the victims. Did vampires not feed on human blood in general and not just children? That was somewhat unusual, yet it also made sense since children were considered to be â€˜fresh bloodâ€™ by some other demons and beasts he has come across. Apparently the blood of children tasted better but he wouldnâ€™t know since heâ€™s never exactly thought of drinking blood. A demon he had killed a few years ago had once suggested it to him and he politely refused, the thought was not appealing at all even as he thought of it now. Yuck.<br/><br/>â€œSince you areâ€¦ determined to see that the beast is taken care of, and you are willing to aid me, this shows me the vampire has not gotten the best of you quite yet,â€ he said softly, not really having much of a sense of humor himself. â€œJust ensure that determination does not turn into revenge, or malice for that matter.â€ He was sure the older man, being older, knew this but he figured he would voice what was on his mind anyway. You just never knew with some peopleâ€¦ Especially when they got older, sometimes people grew hostile, often broken, and sometimes cynical towards most things. Some people when they get older lose their spirit and become nothing but hollow shells filled with hate, fueled by revenge whenever something happened.<br/><br/>This man was not like that, at least from what he gathered. Instead he was willing to share his knowledge with him, or else he would have told him to go off on his own. He respected those people at least, because they showed him that they still had a fighting spirit even though they may be incapacitated in some way.<br/><br/>â€œI do not plan to stay here long, I assure you. I just wish to finish what I came here to do and take my leave.â€ He likes to keep himself on a bit of a time limit. â€œI cannot make any immediate promises, but can say that once I leave here the vampire shall no longer bother this place.â€ The moment he arrived here he did tell himself he was only going to stay for a few days depending on how elusive the vampire is. They could be sneaky creatures but he was not going to let it get the best of him. The last time he was face to face with a vampire he was still a teenager, he was much smarter now. And he was sure now that he had the help of someone who had much more experience than he did this encounter would not be like the last one. God help him if it was, but he was not about to get ahead of himself or rush in blindly. He took his time with his jobs and even when he wasnâ€™t hunting down a demon they took a few days.<br/><br/>However, everyone has their fears. Although, while he did not show it, he was deeply afraid of dying; he knew there was a chance he could be killed. He wasnâ€™t naÃ¯ve. What he said was more to give himself courage than show off. He was not going to let thoughts of death slow him down at all. He refused to have that slow him down. Being a man of his word, he simply felt that by telling the man this he would not falter nearly as much once he confronts the vampire.
