shapinglightWe all know the whole 'unneeded breath' thing is silly, right? We do, right?
Vampires may not need oxygen to live, but they do need to breathe in order to speak. Fine.
But does it make sense to anyone else (as it does to me) that their breath would feel rather on the cool side? They have no body heat of their own. They derive it from drinking blood. But does that warm them up so much their breath would be as warm as a human's?
Opinions, anyone?

The blood they drink couldn't possibly hold much heat for very long.
No, so I suppose it would depend on the temperature of the room as to how warm/cold their breath was.
