I'm looking for some informative literature on the subjects of werewolves and vampires. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd appreciate it.

I kinda doubt you have anything I couldn't get for myself. I've learned to be self suffecient in my old age.
[He pauses.]
I honestly wouldn't mind having your friendship though. Thats it.

[rule_britannia]

[Okay, that throws him. He looks over at Marshall, then gives a slight half-smile.]

That's fair.

[marshall_lee]

[What can he say? Living forever gets lonely. He grins back].
Cool.
[He yawns. Sure, he can stand sunlight now but it still makes him feel sleepy just sitting in it.]
Is there anything else you wanted to know 'cause I think it's nap time for me.

[rule_britannia]

[He gets a bit of a smirk for that.]

Nothing for now. I'll find you again after sunset, shall I?

[marshall_lee]

[He chuckles.]
Nah, I'll be up again in another hour or so. It's direct sunlight that makes me feel a little tired.
[He tilts his face up at the sun and closes his eyes.]
It feels nice though so it's a fair trade off.

[rule_britannia]

Hmm, I suppose that makes sense.

[He watches Marshall's expression curiously.]

Marshall.. how old are you?

[marshall_lee]

[Ah the inevitable question at last!]
I was born in 1817 and I became a vampire when I was sixteen. So including my real age I'm a hundred and ninety five.
[He gives a funny smile.]
I still like to count my age from my real birthday which is in July. Counting my age from when I died just seems morbid.

[rule_britannia]

Vampires do that?

[Vampires are odd. Sorry, Marshall.]

[marshall_lee]

[He shrugs.]
I don't know if other ones do but I like to keep track that way.
I know there are some that are so old they don't even bother remembering their ages. Those guys are pretty few in number though thank Merlin.
[No, it's just Marshall that's odd.]

[rule_britannia]

I imagine you would need to be rather discreet to reach that kind of age.

[marshall_lee]

Either really discreet or really vicious.
Neither are the type I'd like to encounter myself. Older vamps are pretty powerful.

[rule_britannia]

I bet they are.. [He clears his throat.] Ah, sorry, I'm keeping you from your rest.

[marshall_lee]

[He waves a hand in dismissal]
No worries. I've had a good time talking to you. Its nice to have someone I can be myself around who can't give me detention.
