[That's actually really interesting and he feels sort of stupid for not considering that vampires might be a separate species; after all, he's had to deal with that too from Sinners who don't grasp that Hellborn aren't just more human souls in different shapes.

But the rest of it is what he's really interested in, because it gives him insight into Regis as a person rather than just what he is. Blood is a stimulant? That's unexpected. So it's not just a food source, but it's some kind of drug? How strong? Something akin to caffeine? Alcohol? Or something that'll really fuck up the brain, like H-8?]

Yeah, a few times.

[He doesn't think it's helpful to lie to Regis about that. He definitely looked, it's what clued Fizz in that there was something to be asked about.

He flicks the top of the bottle, a ring of metal on glass, and offers an encouraging smile.]

I'm not a big drinker, I prefer coffee. Or water.

[If Regis has some kind of problem (addiction?), then Fizz has no desire to make it harder by being an insensitive idiot. Besides, he doesn't usually drink a large amount of alcohol anyway, it can mess with his medic-- Ah shit, no medication. Okay, well, best hope he has no bad pain days here.]

...thanks for telling me. Can't be easy to admit when you've got to abstain from something, but I'll do my best not to make shit harder for you.
