[ The awkwardness fades away into a laugh at that. ]

There aren't many vampires that would let themselves be exploited by a human. [ Exploited by other vampires? That's an entirely different ballgame and seems to just be common place in vampire...society? Is it even really it's own society. Oh who knows. ]

The biggest thing is the concern that they'll assume vampire equals evil thing that has to be hunted. Then the entire town starts to come together to figure out ways to kill them and it becomes a huge mess for centuries.

[ So easier to just compel people to forget and move on! ]
