"Do you… have trouble controlling your thirst?" Melina asked him. She didn't know if that was a very personal question or not for vampires, but she was curious.
She could imagine it being hard to get through life when they felt like tearing someone's throat out all the time.
Tyler slowed his pace a little before shaking his head.
"Not really. At my age, it's common for us to have it under control," he explained to her.
"And what age is that?" Melina replied before she could even process her question. He looked a little older than her, which would make him too old to attend this school.
Tyler chuckled as he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I thought it was rude to ask people that," he teased her.
"I think that's just women," Melina replied, feeling her face burn as she smiled back at him. Maybe she did pry a little. She didn't want to scare him off, so she decided to back off.
