(( It's not something he realizes about himself (though it has been pointed out to him before). The intensity. So much of it is just an effect of how his life was prior to the present moment. Learning about monsters most people don't think are real before he could tie his shoes. Learning how to kill them before he could ride a bike. The years of debacle with his brother leading to his untimely death. His single-minded devotion to make sure that something like wouldn't happen to anyone else if it was in his power to prevent it.

Yeah, he's definitely a little intense.

Emmanuel cants his head to the side, then nods once. ))

Yeah. Emmanuel Yoon. My mother's... (( Another habit. Listing off his lineage when people inquire. Theirs is a long and distinguished line. )) Nevermind. It's not important.

[David has learned very quickly that there are a lot of questions better left unasked around here - everyone's got at least one tragedy, it seems, and a guy with eyes like Emmanuel's probably has a laundry list. But there's no air of tragedy about the way he cuts himself off there, so David presses him curiously:]

What? You guys famous or something? You can brag if you want, I did ask.

(( Famous? More like infamous... among a certain kind of person (and monster). He bows his head, then looks back up. He doesn't want this to seem rude since he's very sure David didn't know non-humans existed even before he met gods and angels. ))

Among a certain group, yes, we're well-known. My family have been monster killers for generations. They... We are very proud of it.

[David's not offended in the slightest. On the contrary, his mouth drops open in awe and his eyes shine as if he's just found out he's sitting with a celebrity.]

Holy shit... so you're like the Van Helsings. That's so fuckin' cool. [After a pause:] And we're definitely not related, 'cause there's nobody that cool in my family.
