In truth, I don't think I've ever figured out if memory is a factor.  I've tried fairly hard not to think too much on it.  The metaphysics become exhausting.

[It isn't the proudest thing the dhampir has ever owned up to, but he sees value in being honest enough about this much.  Besides - he's more interested in seeing what Sypha might do next.

He takes a slow, careful sip of his head.]

Please don't set my table alight.
