Roddy nodded. Outmatching them wasn't something he'd even consider a possibility, but he could definitely see himself trying to outrun them. Mostly out of sheer terror, which was why he wanted to learn to fight them. That way he'd be able to keep himself from acting like prey.

"Got it. So how do you outsmart something with centuries more experience?"

Not that all vampires were centuries old, but he figured it would be a good idea to assume all vampires he encountered were of the ancient and powerful variety. It might help him, at least, that he and the hypothetical vampire would have very different goals. The vampire's goal would be drinking Roddy's blood. Roddy's goal was simply to survive.
