The man's eyes flash and his lips crawl into a broad smile. "A secret. Isn't that exciting?"
A beat passes and then he interrupts the thread of tension with a laugh that shows off his small but noticeable fangs. Once he's done he clears his throat and then flattens his cravat. "I'm a vampire, of which there are many, many types. Most of them are little more than mindless, starving beasts. Those who can think are sensible enough to stay out of the spotlight. That goes for all undead, really. And to the living, the thought of the dead being able to think and feel is... uncomfortable. Best for them not to worry about it."
