I like the sound of that.
Instinct vs. Humanity. I could play that angle to the hilt. Thanks a bunch.
Other vamps rag on Kincaid.
"Oh, look at poor Nicholas. He still thinks he's human."
"Why, Nicholas, are you shacked up in an apartment with your familiar?"
"You mean to tell me, Nicholas, that you're actually WORKING for mortals? How quaint."
Such banter provides humor for the reader, and conflict for Kincaid.
