I wouldn't mind hearing, if you want to talk about it. It seems to be working well; I've seen some humans look more like a vampire than you do, really. [He's thinking of one in particular, but. Now that he's been given permission, he looks at Marshall's teeth. He trusts him more than the shadow, but the shadow's words still give him chills.

His face colors and he looks at Marshall indignantly.] I fail to see how that is any of your busin--
[You only take, you don't give. Why do you think he can't see me? It's because you've only been fake to everyone but a select few. This guy's shared all of that with you and you could care less, couldn't you?
He clears his throat.] I'm... sorry. It's -- well, without going into too much detail, it... well, I'm not a pureblood, for one. I don't talk about it much, especially considering what house we're in, but. And it's part of the reason my mother is pushing so much for me to stay in the wizarding world, even though... for the life of me, I can't see anything wrong with making my career in the muggle world, either.
