Stu took it pretty well. He's definitely my best mate. And I'm not gonna eat him. But if they ever offer you bisghetti... Um.... you shouldn't eat it.

Vampire mates don't eat human mates. And no matter how much I want to eat him... ... I will never eat him cause he's my mate.

We really like him. At first I wanted to kill him. But now I'm glad I've spent the time to get to know him. Yeah, of course he looks delicious with his big red cheeks. But we've all got an agreement that we're not going to eat Stu. - Right? - Right. The guys upstairs, they're... ...they're loving him. That's ... at the start, they were a bit 'Who's this human you're bringing into the house?' But it took them literally two minutes and... ...they like him more than they like me, I reckon.

Maybe don't do that to him. He's a... vegetarian. Last thing he'd want to do is eat... ... a live being or eat blood or eat meat...
