Hey, now! I'm a perfectly polite gentleman when I'm not suddenly sprouting random ears and a tail!

[surprisingly for someone who's being sassed by a small bird, he's not in the worst of moods. Her question makes him pause though.]

I'm a human, normally. Why else would I be completely off-balance suddenly having these? [It's not a lie, really. Vampirism aside, he used to be human, right?]
