Oh--good idea, [ Matt says, when he realizes what Liem's doing with the bodies. He moves to help, noting with sadness that even the little old lady is shockingly heavy in death. For no good reason, it makes him think of the light-scarred teacup back in his room.

He's not sure what he was expecting Liem to say, but half-vampire clearly surprises him. Matt blinks up from the body he's currently trying to maneuver into some semblance of dignified rest. ]

Half? [ he says--and immediately winces. Liem looks ... well, he can't really read his expression, but he's sure he's made him uncomfortable. ] I'm sorry, that's so rude of me. It's more of a binary thing where I'm from, is all.

[ All vampire-on-vampire gatekeeping aside, you either are one or you aren't. ]

But ah--okay. That's why you--I mean, you're conscientious, clearly. About people. [ Hence Liem's fretting over him and his disastrous decisions. Liem's respect for the dead. ]
