Mmmm... yes? Well, mostly. [ She shakes her head ] For a vampire awakens around thirteen or fourteen, unless they develop quickly they're usually fairly similar to a human. The sun often won't even start to bother them until they're eight or so. So many families these days, including mine [ Thanks, Henry and James ] opt to have their children grow up in the human world until they awaken. After that point...

Well, it's changing these days, but it would be suspicious to any human to be around someone who can't eat their food, drink their liquids, and can never be in the sun. It's fine for short term interaction, like I know my grandson Ren operates like that for how he hunts, but a long term relationship is always going to be strained.

[ And this is Elda at her utmost, utmost fairness.

Because she really wanted to say "why would we?" ]
