Have you fed today?


[Private to Sookie]

Feeling better, I hope?

I'm fine, Eric.

[Private]

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

You didn't answer my question.

[Private]

[faderbroderson]

...No, I haven't fed today.

[Private]

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

I'll see what blood types we have at the bar. Perhaps we can get something else if the ones we have are not to your liking. [Godric's not eating makes Eric worry. Again.]

[Private]

[faderbroderson]

I don't need to feed every day, Eric. I'm fine.

[Private]

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

You haven't fed since you got here.

[Private]

[faderbroderson]

You needn't concern yourself with it.

[good luck with that one, Godric]

[Private]

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

It is my concern.

[He's trying to remain calm.]

I had hoped you were done with this.

[Private]

[faderbroderson]

[a long pause]

Alright. If it will ease your mind, I'll feed.

[Private]

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

It will.

[Private]

[faderbroderson]

What do we have?

[Private]

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

The usual A, B, O, AB blood types. I'm not certain how much AB- we have in stock, but I can arrange for some more if need be.

[Private]

[faderbroderson]

A will be fine.

[even if he still sounds somewhat reluctant]

[Eric goes to get said blood for Godric and in seconds is beside him, handing him the glass. He's gonna make sure Godric drinks it.]

it's good on toast

[faderbroderson]

[Godric eyes Eric, frowning some. He dislikes being treated like an errant child at the best of times, and now it's only worse because he knows that's probably exactly what he's been acting like, in regards to feeding. His opposition to it isn't even something he feels fully comfortable being able to explain.

Taking the glass, hesitates only briefly before taking a sip. It's as if he's triggered an avalanche, and suddenly he realizes just how hungry he is. The rest of the glass is downed quickly, and Godric looks surprised at himself.]

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

[Eric sees this and he clenches his jaw slightly. Godric should not go so long without feeding, is the general thought running through his mind.]

Come to the bar; I'll get you some more blood.

[faderbroderson]

[Godric nods, complying almost meekly, though Godric is never truly meek. He is resigned to his fate, though. Eric was right, and he's known that all along, but what is logical is not always what one's emotions agree to.]

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

[Once they are at the bar, Eric refills Godric's glass almost to the brim. He wants to get as much blood in his maker as possible.]

I don't know why you still choose not to feed and I won't pretend to. But I wish you would give me some kind of explanation.

[True, his maker doesn't have to tell him anything, but considering the bond they share Eric hopes that he will.]

[faderbroderson]

[Godric takes a few sips, slower this time, before responding, low and halting.]

I barely understand it myself. It's guilt, I think. When I drink, I'm reminded of things I don't want to be reminded of.

[Like spending two millennia awash in blood only to ultimately understand that it accomplished nothing that Godric wanted to be responsible for.]

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

[Eric totally doesn't get that whole guilt thing Godric is feeling.]

Then perhaps it's just as well that feeding from humans off limits at this bar.

[He pours his own glass of O positive and drinks it slowly.]

I'm fine, thank you very much.

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

It's a pity I didn't have time to show you the benefits of being a vampire.

Oh and you can keep that shirt you borrowed.

private | hackable

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

I don't need you to show me anything, and I'll return the shirt soon as I can wash it up for you.

private | hackable

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

Keep the shirt, Sookie. Consider it a gift.

private | hackable

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

I'm not takin' anything from you, Eric, gift or not. You keep puttin' strings on everything.

private | hackable

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

Suit yourself, but I assure you, you look better in that shirt than I do.

private | hackable

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

Tryin' to act all charming isn't gonna get you anywhere.

private | hackable

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

Would you prefer I tell you that your thighs looked particularly alluring under my shirt, instead?

private | hackable

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

And bein' nasty's gonna help even less, thank you very much.

private | hackable

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

[If only she could see him shrug.]

What you do with the shirt is your decision, Sookie.

private | hackable

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

And I told you, I'm washin' it up and givin' it back.

[ and she's totally going to go the cowards way and drop it off during the day. ]

private | hackable

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

[He probably expects that.]

So now that you've had a taste of being a vampire, what do you think?

private | hackable

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

I think I don't care to discuss it with you.

[ and right on cue, the fake proper response. sooooooomebody~ isn't too happy about this subject. ]

private | hackable

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

You might have enjoyed it if you hadn't been overcome by guilt. Such emotions get you nowhere.

private | hackable

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

I'm real sorry me havin' feelings about things puts you out.

private | hackable

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can tell. [There's a definite smirk there that she can pretty much just hear.]

private | hackable

[lajolieblonde.livejournal.com]

Is there something you wanted, Eric?

private | hackable

[vikingvampire.livejournal.com]

You seemed particularly traumatized by the events of that curse. Since you were under my supervision, I thought it only polite to see how you were doing now that you're human again.
