You would have to hide your vampiric nature if it surfaces, yes – if vampires exist in my world, it isn't common knowledge, though there's a great deal of fiction concerning them. You'll have my full support, if that happens. Either way, I'll do everything I can to help you find a way to live a normal life – to help you find something you want to spend the rest of your life doing.

I do have some experience in that regard, after all. The existence of the Quincy isn't exactly common knowledge, either, so I have some experience when it comes to conceal the paranormal side of my life.

I don't think you'll have any trouble fitting in among my friends, for what it's worth. I was – and perhaps still am – ... prickly when I first met them, and yet they befriended me in spite of that. And you are not prickly at all.
