[He laughs a little, until it turns into a cough.]
Being a vampire explains a lot. Too bad, though. It’s rather disappointing not to be a ten year old super-genius. I’ve just had a lot of time to work at things.
[Suddenly he frowns.]
I’m not not a child, Romeo. I died seven centuries ago and became a vampire who killed hundreds of people over the years. Do you still want to be my friend, knowing that?
[Well it makes Romeo feel a little better... Maybe if he lived until he was seven hundred years old he would know lots of things too!
But it's true. Joss isn't a kid. Not like Romeo at all. Just like Ebisu isn't really a kid and Elfnein isn't really a kid.
As far as Romeo knows he is just a kid, unless he's forgotten too. He feels like just a kid though and Joss is a grown up. A really old grown up and one whose killed hundreds of people...
He already knows Joss is a good person. He's his friend even if he did really bad things before. He is good and kind, even if he's killed people. It's a big bad thing but Romeo believes he is good, really, under all of that.]
Of course I do! I know your not a kid but... I am friends with lots of grown ups here like miss Ginia and mister Iskander and mister Waver and... Do I got to call you mister Joss?

[Because that sounds weird.]
