John smiles and begins leading Abby across the room,
leaning slightly in her direction.  "They are
parasites, feeding off of others.  To become one it
takes more than a simple bite, it takes a specific act
on the part of the parent to "help" a victim cross
over.  They are very dangerous, predators."  He leans
in closely, whisper in her ear, "Not quite as
discerning as you, my dear."

It soon becomes obvious that the couple are heading
towards the isolated vamp.  "What and listen.  There
will be a quiz later."

"Excuse me, but is that you, Charlie?"  John offers
his hand, focusing on the tip of the man's nose rather
than making eye contact.
