"I think I get like that when I don't drink blood. But I haven't tried it and I don't want to. Definitely not before I know more about myself." The risk of actually hurting someone is just too high. Killing someone – or turning them? Flynn can hardly think of anything worse than that.

"No. Some do." He shrugs. "They've been around for a very long time so of course they have networks and everything. Or were aristocrats back in the centruy when they got turned. Not too many of those around anymore, you know?"

Peter's excitement and gratitude is touching and Flynn smiles. It feels good to have done something for someone. It's nice to be able to talk about all the things bottled up inside. It's nice to have company and not be... alone. Part of him feels a little alarmed at the situation because he shouldn't. Don't get used to it, a little warning voice in his head tells him. But it's hard. "Don't worry about it."
