Conrad isn't one to pay too much attention to rumors or gossip or whatever. Plus he has his own issues to deal with. He'd heard some tall tales about him, like he must have cheated or bribed someone to get in the Red Court, as he knew all to well that there were other vampires of his type who didn't think he belonged where he is now.

He doesn't realize that he's even caught Will off guard and doesn't really mind his non-answer. "They are pretty eager to give themselves up..." The thralls, that is. Conrad has to assume that's what Will is alluding to.

"Uhm, sure, practice," he mumbles, obviously not quite liking the idea of that. "I suppose I could? I have always wondered... If I weren't so privileged and had to make it on my own, would I be able to? Or would I just starve? Or maybe some baser instinct would kick in, I don't know." He utters an uncomfortable little half-laugh at that.
