Cade snorted slightly at his brothers words and shook his head.  After centuries his brother no longer surprised him, but the familiar banter and casual disregard for the risk they were taking was more than amusing to him.  Oddly comforting in fact, to know that some things would never change.  At least not while he walked the earth, which would likely be centuries more unless their latest… companion… made a quick end of them.<br/><br/>“Tasty… I suppose that term could be applied to her.  Stubborn, independent, pig-headed and rather obstinate come to mind first however,” he said with a chuckle.<br/><br/>“I had forgotten she was your first… no, you don’t ever forget.  It’s a responsibility though Lan, one that falls on both of our shoulders.  Keep that in mind.  Her fate and ours rests in your hands more than mine, and I for one wish to continue reaping the benefits of my immortality for a while longer.  Unlike some of the elders I have not grown bored with humanity, especially when it drops something like her in our laps.”<br/><br/>“Now, to bed with you.  I will check the seals tonight, you need to rest and then hunt on the morrow.  I’d hate for you to settle for Cat’s blood in the morning,” he chided as he rose.<br/>
