Malcolm raised an eyebrow at her sarcasm. "Ah, and a fiery mouth to go with your beauty, you're the total package." He said, giving her an amused smile.

"You've got jokes, as well." He added, chuckling lightly. "It's not that I don't want to read, darling, it's that I can't." He said, his eyes growing serious. "I never learned how, and this doesn't leave this little bubble." He said, his tone taking a more serious turn as the playfulness he had earlier slipped away. It returned shortly after, though.
"First all; when you change, is it free will or only on full moon?" He asked curiously. He was genuinely interested in this girl and her lifestyle.
