"No." I smiled. "In this small piece of the Underworld Papa and I look like human beings. But we're not human beings."
King nodded. "Because human beings are living and you and Papa are un-living."
"Right." I nodded. "Well, you know the stories that I asked you to tell Papa and Uncle Ran?"
King slowly nodded.
"Don't worry," Alexis said. "You don't have to tell them anymore. But you spoke about the Neratomay and the Chosen." Alexis explained briefly about the difference and that we were Chosen and Uncle Ran was Neratomay.
"Vampires," I said simply.
King nodded. "Okay." He had heard most of this years before.
"Okay, well, a Vampire doesn't eat food the way we do down here," I said. "Like Aunt Oni doesn't need food but she eats it anyway."
"Yes," King said. "She eats other things."
