"You don't act like everyone else and you don't seem to care about being nice to me. You don't care about me even though I look like a kid. You look like you'd rather just be killing something and everyone tells me I'm not supposed to be like that so how come you get to be like that."
[Well he didn't expect her to literally tell him more but. He did tell her to. It makes him laugh, short and sharp.]
Are you still stuck with a child's mind as well? What a shame. Perhaps then it is because I am an adult, while you are a child and should obediently listen to your elders and guardians. Curb any violent urges to fit in with standards of human society and a sense of humanity though you are no longer human.
Or perhaps the answer is I make no apologies for the sort of creature I am, I am proud of it. You think they can tell you what to do, but there is no reason you must deny what you are and be ashamed.
"Hm. You know, I like you. I haven't felt that way about anyone in a while."
If there was bemusement there, maybe a little pride from that last part—that starts receding from his mind. Not disappearing—more like it's just slowly diminishing.
[Maybe it's good for him to have a little bit of chill,]
So? Do you need to like or respect other vampires to be proud of being one yourself? You can despise them, even look to eradicate them completely if you want. If they are so concerned with acting like humans, doesn't that just make you better than the rest of them as well if you embrace what you are?
I think we both would count as people. But otherwise you are correct. I suppose half-demon is rather close to a vampire, easily mistaken as human, nearly human, yet distinctly not. When you say "people" think they should be responsible for you then, do you mean humans?
"Nah, it's vampires. People don't usually notice me, but the kind of vampires that try to be like humans. I guess they're not really people, either, but they're trying, so I figured they'd like that."
oh no, this is even more of a child, what's he supposed to do with this. How do you play with child. He just stands there for way too long, looking dumbfounded? Did demon twins even play tag without murdering each other?? Probably not!
He honestly thinks about just leaving.
But this is probably more productive than writing a paper..........?
So what's the state of powers, can he do a sword teleport to where she is because he's going to try. If it doesn't work guess he'll just look like a moron swinging a sword in the air.]

Also, Izanagi's here talking to what looks like a little girl?
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
Honestly he's just annoyed by all the religion. He does not want to interact with a child either. This heart sucks, the books aren't even good.]

She pouts slightly.
"I wonder if I should feel bad, though. People keep thinking they should be responsible for me."

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
[Gee that's a big feeling of resentment right there. Barely contained rage, even though he doesn't show it.]
But why should you feel bad for them feeling responsible for you?

She pauses. "It's lonely, maybe."

Of course I am. I know all about it.

She reaches up and punches him in the arm with her baby fist which is actually like, not insignificant—
Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY
Like a younger version of the professor, really.
"Tag, you're it," she says, and bolts.
