[Even without a display of Nate's power, his confidence sells that he can handle himself. It's not enough to dissuade Charles from taking his own precautions, but it's reassuring, all the same.]
All the evidence I have says it can't, and won't, happen, but I prefer not to take risks with my vampirism. There's a basement room in the hospital that would serve the purposes of a test well: it's never occupied, and should you end up needing some kind of help, Kyle and numerous other magic-users work in the building. I can meet you there on any night you'd be prepared.
A couple weeks it is, then. I'll await your call. [And with any luck, the first test will work without any unexpected problems.]
And thank you, Nate, [he says, sincerely.] Even for simply trying - it means more to me than I could begin to explain.
[Which may go without saying, but it feels important to insist on the significance of his being able to live in the city without worrying about being a threat at any given moment.]

I was planning to cast the spell actively. Would that be a problem, I mean...do you think it's likely to actually set off a bloodlust state for you?
Because if so, I should definitely be there. I can knock you out myself if need be.

That'll work. Kyle won't mind.
I have some research to do, and some building blocks to make, but...give me a couple of weeks, maybe? I'll be in touch.
[ ooc: would you like to play this out? ]
