It is good to be back at home in Draag but I must say, a prison was not the place I thought I would be visiting first upon my return. If I remember correctly, it should be this cell...
// @RARDOFSORROWS
@RARDOFSORROWS "There's no need to be nervous now, darling.."
[He took another step closer, invading Gerard's space with more intention. Kieran grabbed his arm, his thumb tracing circles in an attempt to soothe his nerves.]
"You know I don't bite unless you ask me to."
@RARDOFSORROWS [Kieran smiled. A wide, almost predatory grin, fangs poking out just enough to be noticeable. He had no intent on hurting him, though. Instead, he took a step closer.]
"Then can I call you mine?"
[He whispered in response, only loud enough for the two of them to hear.]
@RARDOFSORROWS [He let out another breathy laugh, shaking his head. The pink tint on Gerard's face didn't go unnoticed.]
"I must say, you've really piqued my interest, Gerard. May I call you that, my dear? Or would you prefer something else such as a, uhm.. nickname."
@RARDOFSORROWS [Kieran opened his mouth to speak, but immediately shut it. Instead, he just laughed.]
"My, you really are a strange creature.."
[Despite his words, the way he said it didn't make it seem like an insult but more so a compliment.]
@RARDOFSORROWS [Kieran noticed the look, but he didn't mention it. After being around for decades, understanding body language was as easy as breathing to him. He found the mans reactions rather cute.]
"Do you like cats?"
@RARDOFSORROWS "I could run you a nice bath with some candles, I'm sure it would be a splendid stress reliever. You could meet my cat, Jet! I named him that because he's jet black, he's very friendly and-"
[Kieran titled his head with a small giggle.]
"Are you even listening to me, Gerard?"
@RARDOFSORROWS [Kieran couldn't help but smile in return.]
"That's good. I can imagine it must get lonely being cooped up in this cell all the time. Maybe I'll be able to be granted permission to take you out of it for a day, bring you to my home... And you could do with a bath, no offence."
@RARDOFSORROWS "Hey, hey! Its alright. You don't need to say anything. Just know that I.. I understand."
[He took his hand away from his face to hold Gerard's hand again, giving it a small squeeze.]
"I'll make it my mission to visit you at from here on out. Would you like that?"
@RARDOFSORROWS [He let them sit in silence for a moment. If Gerard wanted to speak, he could, but Kieran wouldn't force him to. He let out a long sigh, one hand coming up to cup Gerard's face.]
"You poor soul.. I wish there was more I could do for you."
@RARDOFSORROWS "Well.. I'm sorry you're subject to live such a life, and I hope it changes soon. I hope that some day you'll know freedom."
[Kieran took a careful step forward like he was approaching a wild animal, not wanting to startle him. He gently took both of Gerard's hands in his own.]
@RARDOFSORROWS [Kieran seemed taken aback and a little worried. For a moment, he didn't say anything, he just stared.]
"You- ..what? How is that possible? I didn't even know humans had invented a means to resurrection.. That is, assuming that you're human, are you not?"
@RARDOFSORROWS [He quickly shook his head, gaining a more serious composure.]
"I don't recommend that. I've been asked that question more often than not but a life of immortality and an insatiable blood lust isn't something I'd wish upon anybody to live with."
@RARDOFSORROWS [Kieran let out a low chuckle, amused by how defensive the other man was getting.]
"No need to be embarrassed. Most commonly people are scared but such a reaction isn't unheard of. Besides, it tastes rather bitter when they're scared."
@RARDOFSORROWS "Mhm. I can tell they don't treat you very well here, or feed you very well. You aren't all that bitter, though, because you're.."
[He trailed off, averting his eyes to the floor. He cleared his throat.]
"Excited, is how I'll choose to phrase it."
@RARDOFSORROWS "No, not exactly. Its much more than that."
[He breathed, wiping his mouth with a hankercheif from his suit pocket.]
"I can taste how you feel, your diet, your health... Feelings can transfer through feeding. So can alcohol."
@RARDOFSORROWS [Kieran kept his mouth latched on Gerard's arm, breathing heavily through his nose. It took a moment before he finally pulled away, licking the puncture wound clean and sucking the blood off his teeth.]
"My apologies, I got carried away.. I haven't fed in a while."
@RARDOFSORROWS "Well, alright then.."
[With slight hesitation, Kieran gently grabs Gerard's wrist and brings the vein up to his mouth. With a low hiss, he sinks his teeth into the mans arm, piercing the flesh and begins to slowly drain the blood.]
@RARDOFSORROWS [Kieran's eyes widened with a slight look of concern. He didn't want to hurt him.]
"A-are you sure? I have trained myself to take controlled amounts but I should warn you, it does hurt and some feel a bit lightheaded afterward usually."
@RARDOFSORROWS "No, no, its quite alright. Just caught me off guard, is all."
[A slight flush covered his pale complexion, whether it was from embarrassment or something else, he was unsure. He opened his mouth wide as the sharp fangs emerged from his teeth.]
