[Messaging her Saturday night after all this weirdness is more widely known.]

I don't know how it will be possible for me to live an existence where fruit can't sustain me. [He's SO hungry. And weak. But he can't like..bring himself to drink blood. He's just sprawled out on his bed at the moment.]

[whiteas]

[ He doesn't get a text with words back. Consider this payback for teasing her about the costume.

Instead, he gets a 6 second video of Weiss eating grapes from the vine and going "Mmmmmmmmmm." ]

[monkeystowaway]

That's so not cool, Weiss.

[whiteas]

I'm teasing you! You do it to me all the time.

[monkeystowaway]

It's only cool and fine when I do it. Never when it is at my expense.

[whiteas]

So?

I believe the correct phrase for this situation would be "Bite me." :)

[ She's super stoked that she made a good joke. She thinks it's good anyway. ]

[monkeystowaway]

You know, I'm a Vampire right now. I could bite you.

[whiteas]

I know. That's the joke! It's funny. I'm trying to lighten the mood.

...On a more serious note, how long is this going to go on? I'd really prefer it if you didn't starve.

[monkeystowaway]

I will make your joke a reality if you keep teasing me. Then I'll be the one laughing when you give me the angry eyes.

I haven't drank anything since I changed. I don't know how often I'm supposed to. Maybe every day?

[whiteas]

Have you tried to practice at all? You can probably practice with a melon. If you practice first I'd rather have you drink than not actually be able to get out of bed anymore.

[ But she also doesn't want to get accidentally killed. So, you know, melons are full of liquid so they'd be the easiest to practice with, right? ]

[monkeystowaway]

No. I didn't really think to. Do you think that would actually help me get the hang of it? You don't think it might just come naturally?

[whiteas]

I don't know, you've been starving yourself for a week. Do you think you can control yourself without practice?

[monkeystowaway]

Maybe? I guess it couldn't hurt to try on some fruit first.

[whiteas]

As with everything, practicing first is safer than just going at it.

I heard from one of my family's chefs once that farms that sell to certain specialty restaurants will feed their livestock specific foods while their alive to help improve the flavor for the table. I'm not livestock, but maybe that means my blood will taste sweet like fruit since you and I probably eat more of it than most people.

[ She's trying to make it sound less gross. She's like 900% sure that if she was the one who had to drink blood she'd be grossed out. ]

[monkeystowaway]

Well can you bring me a melon or something to practice on then?

[whiteas]

You seriously can't walk to the kitchen and get one yourself??

[ She rolls her eyes, but she'll go to the kitchen. She just went to the farmer's market that morning, hence the fresh grapes. She grabs the honeydew from the kitchen, almost slices it, then decides she's probably better off just leaving it whole and ends up carrying the whole thing to Sun's room. ]

I'm coming in!

[monkeystowaway]

It's open! [He calls out to her. It's not like he's incident in his room or anything either. He didn't think Weiss really needed to announce herself, but he figured she was just doing it to be polite.]

[whiteas]

[ Look, she doesn't know what vampires get up to. He could be doing some weird vampire thing.

Though to be fair, it looks like she barely waited for him to answer to turn the knob anyway. She came in holding the melon and walked over to him, setting the melon on the bed next to him and tilting her head slightly, her ponytail falling over her shoulder, leaving her neck unintentionally exposed. ]

Have you seriously just been lying here all day and night?

[monkeystowaway]

[He felt like he could very nearly hear the blood pumping through her veins. His eyes linger on her neck for a moment or too.]

Yeah. I don't have much energy to do anything else. [Vampires live on blood. It's like trying to be active after having not eaten or drank anything for over 24 hours.]

[whiteas]

[ Weiss moves around the bed so she can reach for both of his wrists to pull him up. ]

Well you may want to sit up if you want a taste unless you plan on making a mess all over your bed.

[monkeystowaway]

[He pulls himself up with her help, though he still feels so sluggish right now. He wondered if he could have mustered up the energy to get up himself if she told him he could drink from her right now.]

Thanks. Think you can hand me the melon?

[whiteas]

[ Sun of all people not being able to lift a melon worried Weiss. Maybe they should just do it instead of making him jump through hoops. ]

How much do you think you'll need to feel better?

[ Weiss suits down in the bed next to him and holds the melon up for him. ]

I suppose you just bite in and drink?

[monkeystowaway]

I have no idea. But I don't plan to take too much. [Which might not seem the most reassuring, but he'd rather starve to death than do anything to really bring Weiss harm.

He leans closer to the fruit and bares his fangs before sinking it into the melon as carefully as he can and drinks slowly, imaging it to be Weiss.]

[whiteas]

I don't think you'd ever plan on it.

[ Weiss held the fruit while he drank, her eyes glued to his mouth and the surface of the fruit. Her heart was pounding more heavily from nerves. It was hard to stay calm when you were going to intentionally let someone consume a part of you, even if you trusted them not to hurt you. Even the feeling of her neck being pierced would probably be a lot less than Sun starving while laying around like a bump on a log when he was usually so vibrant. It wasn't like he would take more than he needed on purpose, though. It was just a real question of how much he actually needed. If he went too far on accident, Weiss might not be conscious enough to reactivate her aura.

But that was why he was practicing first. Maybe they should've used a different fruit than a melon. Melons had tougher skin than Weiss did. She'd picked it because melons had a lot of water content close the surface of the skin, but... Weiss gives him a measuring look, like she's trying to figure out whether he's doing it right or not. Honestly, she doesn't know. ]

It looks like you're handling this okay. Can you tell how much you drank?

[monkeystowaway]

I think I drank most of the juice in there. [It didn't taste particularly great and wasn't filling at all. Which is sad for so many reasons.] But that's because it was safe to. I know I can't do that with you.

If I do do it to you, just tell me if you think I am taking to much. Or use your glyphs to launch me if I don't stop.
