[His eyes dilate and he looks dazed, catching her hand before she can do much and bringing her finger to his lips licking the blood off with a shudder, almost in a trance and definitely acting without a shred of thought.]
Crow looks at Rean for a long, considering moment. That's definitely unusual behavior, and considering Rean's an audition now and likely has corruptions, it has him wondering.... ]
Hey, Towa? Remind me to replace your teacups later.
[ And then he smashes a teacup against the table and uses a shard to slice a cut onto his neck— it's not deep enough to be deadly, but definitely enough that a thin stream of blood wells up and starts trickling down his neck.. ]
[Oh. Towa visibly shudders, face turning bright pink. It's not an unfamiliar feeling but coming from him it's... definitely a more intense one. She relaxes her hand and smiles, letting him finish taking the blood from her finger.
[The taste of Towa's blood is incredibly pleasant and it's like water to a man who hasn't had a drop of it in weeks. Which means his lips are closed around the tip of her finger while his tongue licks the pad, eagerly seeking more.
Crow smashing the teacup does startle him enough to come to his senses. Letting go of Towa in shock, face heating, starting to stammer an apology before he even registers what he's done fully.
But Crow's neck has him transfixed before he can even get the words out.]
[She's just going to stand by. Crow has this covered probably, but-- she does think he needs to hear it and know that he can count on the both of them.]
You didn't think that you could support us without us doing the same for you, did you? This kind of bond goes both ways you know.
[The words will probably register later and make him have feelings. Right now he's starving and that's a meal. He didn't even know how hungry he was.
It's only his innate inability to harm anyone he cares about that keeps him from sinking fangs into Crow's neck. Because his mind isn't driving the bus right now.
He does grab Crow's shoulder to hold him still as he licks that shallow but very bloody cut.]
[ He cooperates, tilting his head slightly to better expose his neck to Rean's mouth. His one hand isn't moving, not with the grip on his shoulder, but he uses the other one to lightly cradle the back of Rean's head as he licks and tastes. ]
Take as much as you need.
[ He murmurs the words, not talking too loudly mostly so he doesn't bother Rean's meal. ]
[Serenity can't take her eyes off them. That's... that's real hot.
And having some experience with what that feeling is like, it's difficult not to get heated thinking about it; her face burning hot. Very slowly she takes a seat, not wanting to disturb either of them.]
[He does lick and suck at the blood from that cut, ravenous and mindless with it.
He'd take more but he's not quite lost his entire wits. As hungrily as he drinks Crow's blood, after a while he stops, panting against his neck as he struggles to regain his senses.]
[ Crow suspects it's not nearly enough, but it'll have to do for now. Rean's got his own limits, emotionally speaking, and he gets that. His hand is still lightly resting on the back of Rean's head as he speaks up while Rean struggles to regain himself. ]
[While Rean composes himself, Serenity makes a move to prepare the necessary first aid for Crow's neck. Considering why, she isn't going to fault him-- even if the method was reckless. But she does want to make sure it's cleaned and cared for afterwards.
But that can wait until they know Rean's okay. She'll place her free hand over Rean's, giving it a small squeeze.]
[He covers his face, trying to get his emotions in order and pulling away from Crow. He feels better. Still ravenous but like he's had his first drink of water or taste of food since getting here. Hm. Not great.]
...I didn't know I needed that. I guess the fangs make sense now.
Yeah, I had a feeling. Anyway, looks like we've got to decide on a feeding schedule for you. Me and Towa should be able to swap out, mmmmaybe every few hours until we find out how much you need?
That's a good idea if you need it, but it's good to have more than one source. ....And I'll be honest here, I know you said that I don't have to give anything in return for your help, but it'd really make me feel a lot better if there was something I could do for you guys.
I think we'd both feel better knowing that you'll come to us if you need it, or it gets to be too much. You would do the same for either of us, after all. Don't forget-- you're every bit as important to us as we are to you. If we're going to work together... it has to be on equal terms.
Besides-- it's actually not the first time I've given someone my blood. I don't mind at all.
Ahaha... her name is Ren. She's a dear friend of mine on pep!pep! and a vampire. Her mother was actually on Taisho before-- although I didn't get to know her nearly as well.

Re: 315
[ He's grabbing Rean's hand and dragging him in closer, until Rean's up close, his face just mere centimeters from Crow's neck. ]
So we'll talk after you've taken care of that.
