Yes, well, sometimes a little death threat just happens. He's glad to see everyone's taking it so well.
Despite it all, he's having the best day he can remember. He's standing here doing the impossible. A vampire spawn in sunlight. Not even the most ancient and powerful lords could manage that. Cazador would instantly burst into flames, and what a lovely thought that always was. Whatever the mindflayers had done, they'd given him something special. Something he could use.
And so he listens to Shen Luguang with mounting incredulity and horror. "Incubate their--? Ha!" There really is nothing to do but laugh. Gods, hope is always such a mistake.
"Of course it'll turn me into a monster," he sighs, bitter as the moment deserved. "What else did I expect?"
He's barely listening to anything that follows that, clawing his way back up out of despair. Hope is a mistake, but he will not give up. He wants to live, damn it, and he wants to keep this power he's just been given.
"Although it hasn't happened yet. If we can find an expert--someone that can control these things--there might still be time." If he could learn how to use this, then he might have found a way to freedom.
