Joscelin listens quietly to the explanation, brow furrowed. "You know, you're the third vampire not from my world that I've met on this train," he replies after the cat finishes. "And we're so different. Daia can even go out into the sun without consequence, which..." He pulls up the battered old ring hanging underneath his shirt. "I need a magic ring to do that. Or, needed, I suppose; I just wear it because it feels safe. Like a child's security blanket. No, I've never heard of servant vampires or subclasses or anything like that. Your world must be very different indeed from mine."

"I hated it, you know. Being a vampire. I pretended otherwise, of course, but all I wanted was to be able to grow up and have a normal life. But then my wish was granted and all I want is to go back. The grass is always greener, they say."

"Sun makes me like this..." Maru replied. "I can change back, but it takes more energy than it's worth..." But it wouldn't kill him like vampires in the movies. At least his creator had done something right there.

"Only 8 of us were made. We're... unique, I guess..." And, of course, their creator was gone now. So he couldn't make anymore....

"Well... What did you like about being a vampire?" Maru tilted his head. "What's so good about it? Is strength that important?"
