[snikthatch]

nope

you're not the first vampire I've cared about

if I drink something strong and you drink from me, think that would get you buzzed?

[transgressings]

That may be a tale best reserved for drinks.

Yes, to an extent. Or if you had recently been affected by an aphrodisiac. Though it’s also why I must avoid certain types of blood, as the consequences can be more unpleasant.

[snikthatch]

deal

if you ever want to indulge, you let me know

[transgressings]

You do know what’s likely to happen should I choose to.

[snikthatch]

I can live with that

pretty sure I'm one of the few people in this place you can drink from and not have to worry about what it does to me, sweetheart
that's something I want to do for you

[transgressings]

I’m half-convinced you do too much for me already.

But if you’re willing, I find myself incapable of denial where you’re concerned.

And yes, it does make it easier to know I won’t hurt you.

[snikthatch]

no such thing as too much

I know how that feels as well, you know
always having to check your strength and lying awake wondering if you're gonna end up doing something without knowing about it

I had the same deal with Dick as well, he felt the same
made it easier to know he didn't have to hold back

[transgressings]

I suppose it's easy to believe that when you can heal so readily. But I wouldn't ask for more than you're ever prepared to give.

It doesn't help, admittedly, that the last person I informed openly about what had happened proceeded to tell me that I had made myself a danger to everyone around me. Even before then, I had made efforts to err on the side of caution, always.

It might go without saying that you no longer need to, either. Not when this body is stronger now.

[snikthatch]

if I knew who that was who said that to you, I'd give them a piece of my mind
probably one that'd end up with them on the floor

I wouldn't lie to you, if I wanted out I'd say so
I know you'd do the same

[transgressings]

Thoughtful as the sentiment is, I simply asserted to him that it might be best if our paths did not deliberately seek to cross for the foreseeable future, if he considers me such a threat.

[ never mind the fact that this individual has been responsible for quite a few threats himself, not to mention one against her person in the past. ]

A part of me has been drawn to you since the first night we met.
That hardly stands to change now, even though other parts have.

[snikthatch]

life is all about living with change
I've been around long enough that it doesn't scare me

you're still the same woman I met that night, even if you don't taste the same

[transgressings]

And with age comes a particular level of wisdom, I take it?

Well, now you've piqued my curiosity on what I do taste like.

[snikthatch]

now, or before?

[transgressings]

I suppose both, if there is a distinct difference.

[snikthatch]

it's kind of like

[ Typing.. pause.. more typing. ]

there's a smell a forest has in the early morning after it's been raining all night
up in the mountains where the trees are dark and ancient and green
when the sun's just coming up and starting to pull the mist out of the leaves, you can smell the richness of the earth and the storm clearing away

it smells vital
like potential
but also like everything that came before, like memory

you remind me of that

[transgressings]

Are you sure you’re smelling me and not the herbs crushed into my hands?

I’ll admit there are facets to you that I can sense now that I would have been incapable of discerning before.

Your heartbeat. How strong it is, like a powerful drum beat. The way the metal mixes with your blood. The way your scent changes whenever you’re aware of my presence.
