[Everything just feels off. Like there are parts of him missing. There's a connection gone. He knows he's still a vampire, he still thirsts for blood--even strangely her blood as a swan.

He's not sure if it's the fact that she's a swan and not actually a vampire in this form or...if he can't determine that at all.]
