( It might be because Lamorak has a difficult relationship with himself, but it's puzzling for him to accept a relationship that doesn't cost him - or, rather, doesn't cost him enough. Not unwelcome, but certainly not instinctive to parse. A one-sided relationship would almost be easier.
But he's not going to spurn this, either. )
If you insist... ( He concedes. For a vampire, Norton is of exceptional character, in Lamorak's view. ) You've read me right enough, in any case - I would very much like to avoid death, barring the once it's necessary.
( The Becoming, as it were. The quite regular part of him that fears death does dread it, though. )
... And perhaps, if I become a vampire myself, I can one day introduce a new face to our happy family line.
( Ash, Norton, Lamorak... Honestly, though, he doesn't feel responsible enough to take on another life, so he most certainly wouldn't rush into looking. )
