[Reign should -- but would Shell ask? Probably not. It wasn't really his business, right? If it were something that Reign wanted Shell to know about, he probably would have told him already.]

Yeah. That-- that was One.

[He almost considers using the other name he knows him by, but... until he can see One for himself, he's not going to let that name pass through his lips. One deserves to be the first to hear Shell call him by it.]

He's not a vampire like me. But... he's different from other humans, too. He never really told me much about himself... but it's thanks to him that you and I can sit here and talk like this. I don't think I would have allowed myself to be so open around others if I hadn't met him.
