Cydrao waited until Alex left. "You know there are tests...vampires can undergo." He said softly. He walked closer. "Blane and I are allowed to be friends. Most everyone knows we are." He said. Looking at her. "He saved my life. Not just my life...he saved Xavier's life." He said. Walking to the window. "Me and Xavier were working our route. We didn't hear them coming. None of them. I didn't smell them. They had us surrounded from all sides. They ambushed us without mercy. With quite a spiteful streak. There was too many of them for the two of us to take on. We both were badly injured when out of nowhere one of the vampires exploded from the inside out. Then another. And another. And another." He said. He closed his eyes. "Each time we saw copper hued eyes. When they were all gone a quick licking of our heavily bleeding wounds, Blane spitting the blood aside, he stopped our bleeding. He carried us both to a healer's tent. Stayed to make sure we didn't kill over due to blood loss."<br/><br/>He turned to look at her. "Blane killed his own kind to save two humans. Not just any two humans...slayers. He saved us even though we were natural enemies. Xavier tested him and he passed. He granted us our friendship. We had encountered each other off and on over the years. Never once did Blane show any hostility unlike most vampires." He shook his head. "Tests are something that can be done to permit certain things. Least that is what Xavier said." He looked at her. "He is spying for us right now. Just thought you should know...Blane isn't an enemy...he is on our side even knowing any one of us could try to kill him."
