[ Jack listens attentively to his story but does it without staring as he usually does, but part of that is now he is carefully keeping an eye around them. There is a protective edge to it, in case someone wouldn't appreciate seeing a vampire. Normally he protects people from vampires, but in this case, he's thinking the other way around. It's a credit to how quickly Jack takes on the responsibility of his family's ties, that he would watch Benny's back as well as Dean would. ]
Do you like being a vampire? I don't like being a Nephilim, but I was born this way.
[ Benny at least got to be a human first. Jack's brief time as a human was just that, brief, and then he died. He's always lived with too much power and the appropriate amount of fear surrounding that. More than once he's thought about what it would be like if he was born without any of them. If he could be a human like his mother or the Winchesters. It was hard being powerless, but then he could have trained as a normal hunter. ]
That sounds like it was a long time ago. My father Castiel told me living forever when humans live such short times can be difficult. Have you experienced that?
[ Meaning if he cared about humans who inevitably died. ]
