"I'm sorry that you've gone through a lot at their hands...but how were you a Seraphim? I suppose if you don't remember before then you wouldn't know...where you always one?" he was talking but almost like he was asking himself the questions, trying to work it all out in his mind.
He squeezed her shoulder as she recounted the past. He knew all too well the monsters they could be. "Yeah...people praise them but they aren't all worthy of it. But.. for you...what was life like as a Seraphim? Do you regret...becoming mortal?" He knew how hard the question could be, but there was no good time to ask it.
Their eyes met again, searching for the strong connection between them. She left it with a possible forgetful event and perhaps that was enough for her to want to recall this evening as she changed the subject back to him.
"Hmm," he thought about what she asked him and smiled at the hand that snuck up his chest. He caressed her arm as he spoke. "I haven't gone into detail really. But As I was investigating my parent's work with searching for a cure, it turns out they were investigating vampires as well. Or at least found themselves tangled around a vampiric coven. With such long lives, they were a wealth of knowledge...but that knowledge came at a cost. Long story short I spent some brief time with them and through a ritual, we were able to strip my divinity away and replace it with the bite of a vampire. Immortality so I can accomplish my tasks." He was rambling a little bit now, but that summed it up nicely.
He scratched the top of his head, "But I'm sure you don't want the boring details of all that."
