Indeed it is, I have already learned of a few, however a habit is a habit. Sometimes the phrase falls from my lips even before I realize I have said it.

I suppose our view on age becomes complex after childhood. We stop ageing early in our lives and spend tens of thousands of years appearing to be the same age. The paleness of our skin is all that might offer an idea of age, and even that is very inaccurate. I would appear even paler if I had not nearly died a few thousand years ago.

Since we live so long, many vampires grow tired and will sleep for a hundred years or more. The older you are, the more likely you are to suffer from a "Little Death" as we call it. So of course, being seen as young while being older is viewed as a rather positive thing.

Perhaps we may meet some time to speak of our cultures. It sounds as if we may learn much from each other.
