Erwin narrowed his eyes at Seishin's tone, wondering how the boy could be so foolish. Did he really thought all vampires were weak like him? But then, he weren't there to fight. He were there to warn a foolish human, and that was what he was going to do. And despite some of the tension wearing off when the other said he would not tell anyone, it wasn't like Erwin could believe him just like that. Though it was definitely a start. But when the human threatened him, though, Erwin's eyes widened in surprise, and he snickered, covering his mouth with his hand to try to keep the sound from reaching the other's ears. How could someone be so clueless? Or maybe he was really confident about his abilities.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"There has never been a time where the 'dark of the night' controlled you."</span>Erwin answered, his voice betraying his amusement.<span style="font-weight: bold">"Humans are our food, humans are our way to reproduce. Without you, we wouldn't even exist anymore. Not as ourselves, at least."</span>he shrugged. He truly thought it was general knowledge.<span style="font-weight: bold">"We depend on you. If we wanted, believe me, humanity would have ended long ago."</span>his expression turned more serious, and Erwin crossed his arms, his voice losing the amusement it held moments before.<span style="font-weight: bold">"And yes. You could kill me right now. But then, do you think you would survive that long? There are powerful ones in my clan, powerful enough that you wouldn't be able to fight. And if the Lady decided to come after you Herself, then you would be dead before you could even figure out what was happening. So I'm here to prevent it from happening."</span><br/><br/>Erwin licked his lips, wondering how much was he allowed to tell. There were things the human had to know by now, but the details should remain unsaid. They would only endanger the other even more.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"There is a reason why we hide. No one wants a war with humans, and they could easily kill you to prevent that. So you're probably going to be followed by someone. You're going to be watched, to make sure you keep us a secret. At least for a while."</span>Erwin, sighed, and breathed, taking in the scents around him. No nearby vampires. That was a good sign.<span style="font-weight: bold">"So what I want is to protect you from being killed because you wandered in the wrong places yesterday."</span>there was a pause, and Erwin continued, a little embarrassed.<span style="font-weight: bold">"And I'm sorry for bitting you. I couldn't control myself. I was hurt, and I was hungry. It won't happen again."</span>
