[It's 1 AM. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE?

Someone (and by someone, I mean Merem) hasn't partaken in any blood like he requires. Killing is oh so boring and he'd rather wait until he was on the edge of starvation.

But, then again, if he didn't, he'd dry up and wither away into a fine powder and that wasn't the kind of fate he was looking for.

So after partaking in drinking the blood of a random drone, he rips off its head just to assure it won't become a ghoul or possibly another vampire. You can never be too sure about these things and if ghouls started running around, he'd be the only target for Arcueid and Ciel.

The next problem was disposal.

You can easily find Merem stuffing a body larger than himself in a trashcan and then tossing the head in too. Do you know that drone? MAYBE. It sure would be unfortunate if you did. Merem will give it a prayer if you ask nicely.]

I wish there was a way to make this process less....dirty. Too bad God doesn't grant wishes to heretics, hah.

... [Sighs gently, looking away again. She seems very ill at ease, and like she hasn't yet forgiven herself for the slip-up. After a moment she turns back to him, shaking her head and sighing yet again.] Forgive me, my mind is elsewhere tonight.

[Then she ventures tentatively.] Did you enjoy your meal?...

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I did not. I can't say I particularly enjoy violence. It's too brutish for my tastes.

[thelittlecanary.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. [She's tempted to ask how he prefers to take his meals, but decides against it in the end.] ...Who was it?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I do not know. But don't worry. I didn't take anyone that...was in their right mind as some would say.

[It takes her a moment to understand what he's implying, but she seems at ease with it. She has a sip of tea while before speaking again.] A bedtime story won't put me to rest, I'm afraid. [Even though you have thousands of years on her, she's an adult too, sob.]

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Oh? You never know what might happen with a story on your mind.

Ah, well, much more if I had access to one of my abilities but you are aware of what I mean.

And now I'm imagining Merem tucking her in and reading her a story, lol.

[Garnet nods an affirmative and smiles appreciatively, though that only accentuates the bags under her eyes.] It's very kind of you to offer.

considering he's practically half her size (probably), that's horrifying XD

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I just like to talk. It didn't come from any kindness in my black, seared heart.

[obviously dramaing up that sentence]

Re: considering he's practically half her size (probably), that's horrifying XD

[thelittlecanary.livejournal.com]

I think your heart is neither black nor seared. [Took him seriously because naive.]

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I was simply exaggerating.

[thelittlecanary.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Blushes slightly at yet another blunder. Time for a subject change!] ...What would happen if you had some of my blood?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You would die.

Or, if you have enough potential, you would become a vampire.

[thelittlecanary.livejournal.com]

Even here?...
I'm sorry. I thought that perhaps being here in Mayfield would cancel such effects.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

The thing is, you thought that. It is always best to assume the worst.

[thelittlecanary.livejournal.com]

I know that this has been the case with other vampires here...but you're right.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I've noticed a distinct difference between other vampires and those from my own world.

[thelittlecanary.livejournal.com]

And how are they different from you?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

The largest difference I've seen is this dislike of drinking blood concept.
