Archer smiled as he heard the man speak but swiftly dispatched him using his tail, while the two girls observed the scene.
Turning to Xanthe, he inquired, "What are you? You appear human, but your scent and magic are different."
The black-haired girl gazed back at him before answering, "We are vampires."
Archer was surprised, and he asked, "Where do you get your blood from?"
She narrowed her eyes, thinking for a moment before replying, "My sister gives me some. It's not pleasant, but it works."
Smiling, he raised his hand, using a claw to cut open his palm, and offered it to Xanthe.
Her eyes grew wide, and she couldn't resist the urge when she smelled his blood. She fixated on his hand, where the blood was.
His blood smelled irresistible, and despite only drinking Thalia's blood before, she found it difficult not to pounce on him.
