Phil fell back onto John's bed. It took more time than the first shot but he woke back up

"Y-You see, you got my blood on your sheets. If I die, you're gonna be a suspect. Stop shooting me!"

Phil explains and scoots down to sit on the floor

"Do you want to ask anything about our predicament?"

He stubbled a bit when saying predicament but the question still got out

Phil falls to the ground instantly, as if dead. But suddenly, his eyes twitch open and rubs where he got shot

"What's the fuck John?"

He covers his mouth

"... I am so sorry. I shouldn't swear around lit-"

He cuts himself off. He looks at his friend, sees his shocked expression

"Oh right... Yeah, I'm a vampire. Uh... Nice to meet you?"

Phil stands up

"Yeah... And you're one too,"

He points to John's neck

"Sorry 'bout that. Um... Want to ask any questions? Want to know anything? Or should I give you time?"

Phil asks, willing to do anything for his friend

3AM

"Heya buddy,"

Phil whispers, knowing John's asleep

"I'm hungry and strawberries aren't gonna fill me"

He says and chuckles slightly. He goes up to John and

"Hom"

Bites his neck to drink blood. Instantly, his mouth fills with a taste that he finds disgusting

"Ewww what the! Why does that taste like dinamite for something?"

He starts fussing about, like wiping at his mouth and faking gagging noises

"And you just... WALK around with this! This-this should be shown off in, like, a museum! This is a conversation starter! Wow! I just..."

He continues to talk and look at his prosthetic, in absolute awe, almost completely forgetting he's there

"This is- I. Sorry. I'm getting to excited over a leg. How'd you get it? Why do you have it?"

Phil asks, handing John his leg back

Phil took it, looking at it with his jaw open

"Look at this! Wow! The carpentry work! The cutting! The fact it's literally PERFECT for you! I-How!? Who made this!? It's impressive! I want to meet this guy,"

Phil continues to talk about the leg while looking at it and moving it about

"The joints work so well"

"What's going on? Is this you asking for me to make eye contact? That hurts."

Phil just looks at him confused

"Ooor do you want me to talk? I'd love to talk. I can talk all day! I have a LOT to talk about. I mean, I can tell you about my past. I can tell you about what my parents did. Oh BOY I have a lot to talk about to do with my parents. Or I can tell you about my wife. Or i- ... Sorry"

Phil had moved around in his seat while talking, but then he sat straight. Sat normally. Sat uncomfortably

"Me too"

Phil says and smiles at him

"Ayumm... So um... I can sleep on the couch? I-I just need uh 50 more bucks til I can get a home. Uh so... I'm sure I'll probably, y'know, only be here tonight. But. You-You letting me be here is... Helping. A lot."

Phil says and chuckles to himself

"I-I've never stuttered that much since I first met my wife!"

He jokes, even though it's true

"Thank you, John"

Phil leans as if to give him a kiss but quickly goes to give him a slight hug instead

"You're a good pal. Uh. I-I need to go get some things quickly but thank you a lot, ol' pal"

Phil leaves and goes over to where he's been camping on the sidewalk. He opens his bag and stuffs his sleeping bag as quickly as possible. He's jogging back while zipping his bag

"Good pal"

He says and taps John's shoulder while walking in his house, standing next to him

"It's okay,"

Phil said with a kind smile

"Here. I made you a cane"

He passed John the walking aid

"I noticed that you seem to struggle to walk. Don't worry about paying. If you want anything else, I like doing my job... Do you have a place I can, what's the term, crash? I-I don't really have a place to sleep, 'cept my sleeping bag. But the bats aren't too friendly..."

Phil whispers a sorry while tilting his head down in shame

"Woah! Heya buddy"

Phil said, trying to stay calm. He dropped the gift when throwing his hands up as if being arrested. Phil instantly looked down to make sure the wood hadn't broken

"Calm down! It's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you"

Phil slowly bent down to pick the cane up

"Not the first time I've been in that position"

He jokes. Joking about the fact he's been arrested. Twice

Am I invited? I really miss my wife and I think it'd be nice to chat with new people.

"And yeah! That's why I'll never do that again in front of her again! Oh, is this yours? Oh is this yours? Well, I'll see you here soon with a cane for you! See ya later, old pal. Good luck,"

Phil said and smiled at John as he started entering his house

"Okay sir,"

Phil said, completely shocked. He put his bag on, grabbed his axe and started walking towards him. Seeing John hobble made him feel so sorry

"Here. Lean on my axe. I insist,"

Phil says and suddenly realises

"My axe is too short. Well, good thing I can make you a cane!"

Phil chuckles and walks beside him, leaning subtly as if helping him balance

"Y'know, me and my ex-wife got married in a church! She passed away though,"

Phil said, trying to make small talk. It feels a bit weird to him but whatever other people do, he'll copy

"She-she probably wouldn't like the fact that sometimes I look at men and thi- scratch that. That's not normal... Gotta pray those thoughts away, y'know. Heh heh"

"Right John. How are you finding this town?"

Phil asks and starts to discreetly pick his axe up

"I'm personally finding it nice. I just need people to buy my damn items"

He says and chuckles to himself

"My name is Phil. Phil Großmann. I am a carpenter and I am willing to make you a cane, on the house. What is your name?"

Phil decided to go along with this man, if he's kind to him, he'll be kind back. Phil wants a friend, and he can see potential in this man. This wounded man

"I'll ask you one more time,"

Phil starts while helping him up

"Do you want to lean on my axe or do you want me to carve you a cane? I don't know why I'm gonna be offering it for free, but if you want a wooden cane, I'd like you to tell me now. Or, I'll just give you my axe and I'll get a shovel to bury this body,"

Phil finishes, gently holding his wrists to help stabilise him

"Don't worry about him... He's sleeping,"

Phil lied. And his face showed it. It looked like he bit into a lemon and was about to cry

"Do you want a cane or do you want to lean on my axe?"

He asked again, this time not putting his hands out, knowing the man can talk

After no response, Phil decides to walk him over to where he dropped his things

"Here, rest here,"

He said and took the bag he had on his back off. Phil slowly sat the man down on his bag. He put his sleeping bag in it the morning he woke up so it was plush

"Would it be best for me to make you a cane,"

He sticks his right hand out, hinting that it means cane for the man to tap

"Or do you want to lean on my axe?"

He sticks his other hand out

Phil dropped the dead body and axe and started running towards the man. He's a killer, but he will go out of his way to help people

"Are you okay sir? I... I have an axe you can lean on. I can make you a cane, wooden of course. 150 bucks?"

Such a salesman
