Kieran's eyebrows twitched upwards. Those weren't normal canine teeth. Suddenly things made a lot more sense: the pint, the stranger's pale skin, and, okay, those were the only two things Kieran questioned. He tilted his head. This ought, according to common sense, to be when Kieran bailed on this interaction. But there was the free pint, and there were people all around them, and now his curiosity was officially piqued. (And, okay, he was still pretty attracted to Yousef, whatever.)

"You too," Kieran said, after a beat, with his own cheerful smile. "I've never met someone like you, you know."
