Kieran perked up slightly at that. "You-you're actually letting me stay..?" He asked, honestly surprised. Even his parents rarely wanted him around, often shooing him out of the house or to his room. He was amazed that anyone would be so kind, especially as he was an intruder in the vampire's home.

He glanced down at the kittens by his feet, smiling slightly, wriggling his fingers in front of them, luring them in to play. Glancing back up at the pale man, he gave a small appreciative smile, relieved that he'd be safe for a while longer. "Thank you... and I won't harm them." he called after him, before turning back to the cats.
