While they were talking, Kaz appeared to be in a whole different world at the moment. He didn’t react to anything that happened around him anymore. Lost in thoughts. He wondered what the other was thinking. It didn’t look like he was having bad thoughts though. He wasn’t stressed or restless. Just quiet. Almost peaceful. It was only when Allison spoke again that the fledgling reacted. A very delayed reaction, true, but still. It was fine by him. ”What kind of books are you reading that you take notes in them?” He asked, a tad bit curious. He hadn’t expected the leader of a criminal organisation to do research on anything.

Suddenly Kaz decided to share his thoughts. Mort stopped digging again. Besides, the grave was almost finished. If he kept going, he would end up in the Earth’s core. The vampire listened to his brother, who was speaking calmly. Sharing his memories with them. He furrowed his brows lightly when he put his hands in the bright sunlight. He didn’t stop him though. It was another thing he would have to discover by himself. ”I remember”, He replied softly. After a short pause, he continued. ”Over time, it doesn’t burn anymore”, He let him know, a certain positivity in his voice. ”You will feel weakened, but you will recover quickly afterwards”, He continued. Just as it was happening now, too. The little mark on his hand was already disappearing, thanks to the rapid healing he now possessed.

During the conversation, he kept an eye on his brother. He was having an out-of-body experience, and the vampire feared what would happen if his senses suddenly kicked back in. It didn’t mean he wasn’t listening to what Allison was saying though. She apparently was an alchemist, doing research on old recipes. ”Sounds like fun”, He said with a little smile. And he really meant it as well. Of course he didn’t know what she actually did with those recipes. If he had known, he would probably have a different opinion on it. ”We can go tomorrow, if you want”, He suggested. He was about to add another thing, when Kaz started to talk out of nowhere.

The story had quite an impact on Allison, but his brother didn’t really notice. Until he kind of snapped out of it and excused himself to her. ”You didn’t disturb anything, Kaz. But yes, go inside. I will finish this up and fix you..”, He looked at the blonde for a split second. ”Food.” Right. After that, he jumped out of the pit he had dug, walking over to the dead body of the last dinner his brother had consumed. With a soft thud it landed on the bottom of the grave, after which he started shovelling the dirt back. A task that would go way quicker, as the soil was now soft and easy to move.
