"Is that a crack about my height?" Alright, that made the old vampire more steamed than anything else. If Thomas had been hoping to avoid confrontation, he'd just picked the wrong thing to mention. Yes, he was shorter than most men these days. Blame being turned during a time period when the average man was only five foot six. He also looked a bit scrawny, since he'd never quite grown into himself before he'd died. "'Cause I will let you know I am a helluva lot stronger than I look."

With that, the vampire aims a punch right at Thomas' throat. No one ever said that he was above fighting dirty. He's fast and strong. It is very apparent that Cooper is far stronger than any seventeen year old has the right to be.
