"Listen, Witcher, i'm gunna find out, even if i have to rip out your carotid and strangle you with it." Joshua snarled.

"Then you wouldn't be able to find out. I'm not quite human but I'm close enough. Doing something like that would cause me to bleed out. I'd die and you would never get the information you seek," he stated. He wasn't meaning to make the vampire angry. Lourette was just stating a fact of nature. He closed his eyes. This proved that he was resigned to his fate, should the vampire kill him.

Joshua's grip weakened, and he dropped the hunter. "I may be a monster... but killing? Not me. I'm... I'm sorry. The vampire killed tonight... We were..."

Lourette remained standing but covered his mouth as he coughed slightly. "Were you friends? Family? Lovers, perhaps?" he questioned. He just decided to name all of the possible relationships the two could have had. However, both vampires are males so 'lovers' was still possible but not as common a possibility as the other two options.

"Yes, lovers! In fact, i was the only thing stopping him from murdering every last pathetic human in the world!"

"You're gay, then?" he asked, slightly surprised. "Maxwell's that way too. I believe that he has a crush on me but I'm not completely certain. I just don't really feel the same for him. My own sexuality is kind of a mystery to me. I've never really had the time to explore it," he replied.

"I know this is inapropriate, but would you like to?"

"Would I like to what?" he asked, slightly confused by the question. Part of him already knew what the vampire was asking but it was so sudden that part of him still had to catch up. That's why he asked the question, just to clarify what he was being asked to do.

"Explore your sexuality? This might sound wierd, but you're kind of cute."

This brought a blush to the hunter's face. Cute? The vampire thought he was cute? "Well...um...I'm not sure if I should. Such acts with a vampire is forbidden. I could be killed if my superiors were to find out. Then they'd kill you, as well. Normally, I would have probably said 'yes' but...right now...I'm not sure that I should," he replied.
