That is because most people have specific views of their world and they don't like to have the world-view altered. I didn't believe in vampires either. But I cannot deny what I have observed. Once I've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, must be the truth.
That said, just because I can identify you as a vampire, doesn't mean I believe that all aspects of the myth are true.
[In other words, he believes Julian lives off the blood of humans - which actually is a medical condition, but not that he turns into a bat.]
I can imagine! Good work, really. My colleagues were wondering why I was grinning at the screen. :D
Most really aren't true, I can assure you. And I love garlic. *He answers almost automatically.*
You're much better at accepting changes to your view of the world than I was. Or, rather, better than almost everybody else. Impressive. Well, now that you know, what are you going to do?
Oh good! The deductions are always the most difficult part XD

Could be. But it would be better for you to stick to the truth.

So, what are the differences between the myth and you?
no subject
Well, I'm not dead. Or undead. Or supernatural in any way. No shape-changing or flying, I don't care about crosses, and as I've said, I like garlic.

It's like with many things that have become myths over time. They may have some truth at their core, but the rest is fiction.
no subject
Well, that is the definition of myth. It wouldn't be believable if there wasn't some truth to it.

[Yes, he knows it's there.]

That's ... one of the things that aren't made up, yes.

Yet you choose not to kill. So how do you feed that desire?
no subject
And I keep myself busy with other things. Running works fine, for example. The good thing is, I can mostly ignore it until, well, there is a hunt.
