Tylen smiled just slightly.. "Vampirism emphasizes two main traits when it is introduces humans - one physical characteristic, and one personality trait." Then he laughed at the comment about the Elders, saying: "Oh, my, is that what you were thinking? I am not an Elder, not in the least. Only born vampires are on the council." He rolled his eyes. "Lamia have a general distaste for made vampires, especially young ones, mostly because they are not used to their new abilities, and as such are still mostly human."

"You didn't answer my question. What makes me so special?" I finally look up as we get to my floor. "My room's right here." I pull out my card as a couple walk past us and into the elevator. I slide the card in and open the door. Everything looks about the same but I make a quick check of what I have as I put it away. "Sorry for the mess, just got into town." I flash a smile that was more genuine then I thought that it would be. I place my backpack on the floor of the closet. As I sit on one of the beds I offer you a seat. "Should I get some room service?"

Tylen shook his head, sitting on the chair offered to him. "I'm fine, thanks," he said with a smiled. He thought for a moment, honestly considering what she'd asked. His eyes closed for a moment, and he cupped his chin in his hand and leaned forward, opening his eyes to gaze at her for a moment. "I... I really don't know," he said at last. "Something about you is just different." He honestly couldn't place what it was about her that was so strange.

I can feel his puzzlement. "Love." is all I am able to say. I look down realizing what I am saying. "Like you said, it hasn't been long since I was human." I look around the room feeling stupid. "Umm... so I guess you can ask questions now, if you have some.

"Who was - is? - Alex?" he asked softly, looking at her with something crossed between concern and sympathy. He didn't exactly know if he wanted to know this story. He started to reach over and place a hand on her knee, then decided against it - he wasn't sure if she was comfortable with affection at all.

"He's...well he was, my maker. Before he changed me, I fell in love with him. He..." I wipe away another tear. "We went out hunting one night a year or so ago and I got myself into a situation with a shape-shifter from my hometown. Things didn't end well." I quickly get up and walk so my back is to him. I try to stop crying but it is so hard. It was the first time I had told that much of the story. It was usually just 'he died'. "Sorry, I guess I haven't gotten over it yet." I sniffle a little and grab a tissue and my sun-glasses, then turn around to face him.

"That's completely natural," he said softly, moving abruptly to stand up and wipe away a couple stray tears with his thumb. His expression softened. "I'm... actually quite surprised that you can still live with what you are, even though you know now that we aren't as invincible as most humans believe." He stepped back slowly, just watching her.

"It just makes me more aware of my surroundings." I walk back to the bed and curl up a little bit as I sit down. 'I'm sorry. You probably didn't want all the water works." I wipe away a tear from my face. I look at the floor. "Anything else?"

"The water works are fine," he said with a tiny smile. His eyes brightened, "What brings you to Vegas?" he asked, smiling as cheerily as he could.

"Just passing through. Alex always told me how amazing this place is. Plus I needed some cash" I say as I point to the backpack that had a couple bills hanging out.

Tylen laughed. "Money accumulates over time here, I guess." he smiled gently, having forgotten all his other questions.

I giggle a little, then look toward the window. "Not much more moonlight left. I really need to get something to eat...it's been a couple day since my last human. Would you mind if I go get something to eat?" I start to stand up.

"I might join you," he said with an accommodating smile and a knowing nod. "- or, have you ever tried a vampire's blood?" Admittedly, it was a bizarre suggestion, but Tylen wasn't exactly in the mood for a hunt at the moment.

"No..." I stop in mid-tracks. "Are you trying to suggest something? If you want I could bring you back something."

"No, no, by all means, your hunt is yours," he smiled, bemused. "Unless you think I am suggesting something; in which case I probably am." There went his habit of talking in riddles again. Mentally, he swore, eyes narrowing only slightly as he awaited her reaction.
