Vampire physiology question

[shapinglight]

We 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?

I don't think so. I suspect it would feel quite cool. And I've often seen it written as such. ...Spike's cool breath on Buffy's neck... for instance.

Yeah, it was really because of mentioning cool breath in a story that I wanted to know what people thought.
