Cade was sitting in his room, his ankle resting on the opposite knee as he sat in a leather chair that had seen better days.  The leather was pock marked and faded, which explained why it was in his room instead of the study, but he had not been willing to get rid of it when they had decided to redecorate.  It was comfortable and worn with time, much like he was.  The likeness wasn’t lost on him, but he truly didn’t care.  He pushed the button on his kindle that changed to the next page and enjoyed the quiet of the house.<br/><br/>An hour later that quiet was broken by the murmur of voices, telling him that the others had finally woken with the setting of the sun.  He took the time to get to the end of his chapter before setting the thing back on his table and stretching.  Hunger made his body complain as he finished dressing and left the room.  He needed to feed, and if he needed to then it was likely that his brother did as well.<br/><br/>He paused outside of the study and listened to their conversation for a moment before timing his entrance so that he could answer his brother’s new companion’s question.  “Yes you do, but only when you feel threatened or hungry.  You won’t learn to control them well for a few years, which means you’ll have to be careful out among humanity,” he said as he nodded towards his brother in greeting.  “Garlic is fine in small amounts and if you drain someone completely they die… so unless you want to leave a trail of bodies behind you…” he trailed off.<br/><br/>“Now, it’s time for your first hunt, the shower is down the hall on the right if you’d like to clean up before we head out,” he said.  “Assuming of course that my Brother doesn’t mind the company.”<br/>
