[That surprises Teddy half out of anger into consternation. Which -- in the same sentence as asking about monsters probably shouldn't be the thing she's focusing on, but here's the thing: she knows about bears. At least, normal, non-human-killing bears. She doesn't know shit about vampires, so except for existing at all, she can't judge.]

Six people? Holy shit. I mean, we've got bears all over back home, they're the state animal for a reason. And they really don't care to mess with people, unless you're just being stupid. Six pe-- [Teddy scrubs at their face.] -- I mean, who knows. They might be transplanted here from the last ice age and also pissed off. I don't know.

[It's so goddamn infuriating.

He lifts his head to look at her. Not even getting to the fact that she's an extra-cursed vampire, eaten anyone to death is just an...amazing thing to say like it's normal.

She keeps going, though, and Teddy blinks.]

What.

I -- what do you even do with that? Just wake up expecting to fight Slenderman every day? Trying to find out anything about this place, why it's like this, what might make it better -- it's like mining with a goddamn toothpick. And it's one thing to try to make the best of a bad situation, but it's another if that's never going to happen.

...Why don't you want to eat me? Not complaining, but it is a little weird to just, have a conversation, being told you're an extra cursed vampire. [Teddy huffs a laugh and pushes her hair back, shaking her head.]
