"Wow, that must've been a bad life choice. And anything? I'm jealous." there were plenty of foods he wanted to try. They just all didn't agree with him. Food had to be the one thing he thought humans were lucky to be able to eat. Not that blood wasn't tasty or anything, its just human good looked so good. All blood looked the same.

"Yeah, it kind of ruined oreos for me for some time, but I got used to eating them again. And yes, anything. I've never ate a food that I didn't like." Elijah added then took another drink of his latte then swirled it's remaining contents around in the cup. He set the cup down then leaned toward him slightly. "Do different blood types taste differently?" he asked curiously and quietly so no one around them would hear.

Allen considered the question, head tilted slightly as he thought "They do. But it's kinda hard to explain. Like, you know how even if two people make the same recipe it will taste different but the same? It's kinda like that. How it tastes depends on how well the human is. A sick human will taste gross, while a healthy one will have a better taste." he sat up straight and shrugged "Animals do taste different though."

Elijah leaned his elbows up on the table as he listened, interested in hearing more about vampires. He nodded in understanding, it made sense. Every person was different so it would make sense that everyone's blood tasted a little different. "How do animals taste different?" he asked him with a slight tilt of his head.

"I don't know... they just do." he shrugged helplessly "It's really hard to explain. To humans it might taste the same, but a vampire can tell the difference. All I can say is that your blood, and a cats blood would definitely taste differently." this whole conversation he had made sure to keep his voice low to avoid being caught or over heard by others.

"Don't say things about cats. I don't want you to put the picture in my head of you drinking the blood from my cat." Elijah said to him still in a low voice. Then he leaned back in his chair and finished off his drink. He set the empty cup down and looked to Allen. Another question came to mind that was still sort of vampire related but he still wanted to know. "How old are you?" he asked curiously.

Allen chuckled at the thought. He didn't like cats, why would he drink blood from them. That would just result in him getting fur in his mouth. Age? That was something he didn't know "I wish I could tell you, but we live for a long time. I kinda lost track of time a while back so I couldn't tell you exact numbers. But your body stays the same age as when you were turned. I was turned into a vampire around... 22 so I'd say my physical age is around there."

So Allen was around his age, well looked like he was around his age. "Could you give me an estimate?" he asked him, he really wanted to know. Was he hundreds of years old? Thousands of years old? How much time had to pass until you started to forget how old you were?

"I'm pretty young for a vampire so I would say around... four or five hundred." he shrugged. It was close around there if he had to guess. The oldest living vampires that he had heard of were over a thousand years old. Vampires that lived that long were either secluded or living in captivity. Humans had gotten scary good at hunting his kind. The thought sent a shiver down his spine.

"That's considered young? That's crazy." Elijah said to him. You couldn't even imagine living that long, and living through so many historical events. It was just all so unreal. "Do you have anymore questions for me?" he asked as he looked to Allen.

"It's not as old as some." he laughed "Hmm, what do you like to do in your free time? With a job you must be pretty busy, so what do you do in the moments where you aren't?" Allen himself did not have a job. Without the need to eat or sleep that often he could live of the basics easily. There were places like gyms where you could get water and clothes were pretty easy to snatch.

"Well I usually read or watch tv, nothing too exciting. Maybe if I have a whole day to myself I might play some video games, but I do that very rarely. And sometimes I go out with friends if they invite me out." Elijah explained to him. "What do you do with all your free time?" he asked him.

"That seems uneventful." he commented, not wanting to say 'boring' but thinking it. When asked about what he did Allen shrugged "Sometimes I go on hikes, I can also play around the building tops and know my way through the alleys. Just a lot of exploring really. I've met some pretty crazy people."

Elijah shrugged at his comment, it sort of was uneventful but he didn't know what else to do with his free time. "Well if you just go wondering around the city all the time you are bound to run into some crazy people." he said to him then glanced around. He was starting to get some of his energy back from the caffeine and he wasn't sure he could stay sitting her for much longer. "Can we go for a walk?" he asked him.

"Sure." Allen stood and stretched. He was starting to feel peckish, but would as for blood later today. It was still relatively early. For him at least. Late for him was at least four in the morning.

Elijah stood up from the table and grabbed his empty cup. He then made his way out of the coffee shop, throwing out the cup as he walked out. He put his hands into his pockets and waited until Allen was beside him before he started to walk.

Allen threw away his own cup before walking over to join the human "Let's go." he said, grinning and opening the door for the other. Once outside he asked "Where do you want to go?"

Elijah shrugged to answer his question. "Anywhere really. I just want to walk around. Maybe we can go to the park." he suggested to him, picking some destination for the two of them. Although he would be fine with just wandering around the city, as long as he could get some of this energy out of his system.

"Alright." Allen hummed, starting in the direction of the park. They walked in comfortable silence for a while. The park soon came into view. Surprisingly there were a few more people than he had expected. Normally he would be out on the hunt, but now he no longer had to risk that.

Elijah walked beside him, staying close to him as they made their way into the park. "Have you become 'partners' with other humans before?" he asked him curiously. Was he the only one? Or where there many before him?

That was a sensitive subject. Rubbing the back of his neck Allen said "I've partnered with other humans before. As i'm sure you can tell it didn't end well... Some of them died normal causes and others-" his sentence cut off. Shaking his head he said "But that's ancient history. What about you? Do you have a girlfriend?" he assumed that Elijah had a girlfriend. Humans cared a lot about genders. Through his years he had learned no matter the gender you could date anyone.

Elijah didn't realize he had hit a sensative subject until he saw the vampire's reaction. He was going to apologize but stopped himself when Allen answered the question anyway. Died of natural causes? Like old age? He never really thought about how him and Allen could be partners through out his entire life. Sharing his blood with him until he died. That was a lot to take in, better save that thought for a different time. He shoved the thought to the back of his mind then glanced over at Allen. He blushed slightly at the question that the vampire asked. "No I don't have a girlfriend. I haven't dated anyone in awhile." Now that he thought about it he hasn't really dated anyone since highschool. Sure, he had a few flings here and there since then, but none of them were ever serious enough to be considered dating.

"Really? I'm surprised. You are not the worst looking human I have seen." he said this without thinking, then realized his slip up. Well, it was true. Best not to embarrass himself by trying to take back what had already been said. If anything he was thankful that Elijah didn't press on the partner matter.

Elijah blushed a bit more at his statement. Did Allen just admit that he thought he was attractive? He didn't dwell on the slip up too long and continued to speak. "I guess I just haven't really been trying lately." he admitted with a shrug of his shoulders. "And I guess I haven't really been looking for a long term relationship either."

"That's good for me at least. You won't be giving anyone else much attention." Again. With the misleading comments. What was with him today? "Oh, look at that." he pointed over to someone walking a black lab and moved over, asking if he could pet them. The lady agreed kindly and he knelt to pat the dogs head.

He won't be giving anyone else much attention? What was that supposed to mean? Elijah didn't have too much time to think about it when Allen distracted him by pointing over at the dog. He wasn't much of a dog person, but he didn't hate dogs. He found them just as enjoyable as cats, he just liked cats a bit more. He followed Allen over to the dog and watched him before petting the dog himself.

Allen thanked the lady and turned back to Elijah "Where next? Planning to go and play on the swing set?" not that he would be against that, even adults could enjoy the park. But if his human companion was getting tired then he would willing head back. It was up to Elijah.

Elijah rolled his eyes at him. "No, I'm not planning to go play on the swingset." he said to him then pulled out his phone and checked the time before thinking for a second. "We can head back, and since I am getting a little bit hungry, I can start making myself some dinner." he said to him then turned toward the direction of his apartment and started to walk back.

"Sure." Allen fell into step beside him. He could grab some dinner as well once they got back. After that he would probably let the human be by himself. It was likely Elijah didn't particularly enjoy his company, just dealt with it. They had just met and his first impression had been... shocking.

Elijah walked beside Allen in silence, unable to think of another conversation topic. At least the silence wasn't awkward, it was more comfortable than anything. He didn't mind Allen's presence, it gave him someone to talk to, which was nice. He would rather have their relationship being more like this anyways. He didn't want their confrontations to be just Allen coming over, drinking his blood, then leaving. He wanted their relationship to be friendly.
