"When you started on this path...." Fai echoes. "Do you mean being a vampire, or a hunter?" Fai wasn't given a choice, but he has no idea if that's out of the ordinary for most vampires or not.

The mention of having to 'rely on the life of others' brings up an interesting problem, though, doesn't it? Fai has only one food source, in that respect, but the ninja is present and willing. For someone like Devin, though? "Hmm... so how do you plan to survive here? Willing donors?"

Despite the darker turn their conversation has taken, and the fact that mere moments ago Fai threatened Devin's life--however vaguely--the blond beams at the compliment. He props his elbows up on the counter and rests his chin in his hands, smiling at the other vampire. "Thank you! It's a recipe I picked up a few worlds ago, it's not native to my own world. I've been trying to branch out and learn new things~"
