Reyson didn't really come to vampirism the standard way, and hasn't really... asked about anyone elses' families, and that's kind of dawning on him. And now he has to process this in front of a child who is looking down on him and probably does not come from his own head.

"It sounds like that's going to happen eventually. You can only avoid fate for so long."

He's not going to lie to a child to make her feel better, what kind of asshole would do that.

"I know if I could see my family again, I'd be willing to go to great lengths to do so, and none of them were my children. I'd search the world, I'd kill people for stopping me - whatever it took."
