Summary
"Have you ever been up against a vampyre, Stark?"
Jacaerys twists where he stands to watch the man move through the empty house, to watch those keen eyes take in every nook and cranny like any true hunter would; trained to look into obscure corners where creatures darker than shadows tend to lie.
"My entire family dedicated their lives to bringing about their extinction - for generations upon generations. Every. Single. One of them... are dead. All but me. And I'm sure to follow soon enough, if the tradition is to be abided. [...] So tell me, what do you think you or anyone from the order of the Seven could possibly offer that my family could not achieve in nine generations?"
Jacaerys shoves down the thought that creeps up in the back of his skull.
'I can help you,' Stark had said.
Like a drug, those words. Like alcohol. If you're not careful. But Jacaerys is nothing if not careful... at least when it comes to outsiders.
'I can help you.'
'And what if you could?' Jacaerys wants to say. 'What if you could, Wolf?'
