Recent events make war a much stronger possibility. They did something - it provoked a rather extreme reaction from the family. And now the Council's hands are tied. They can't afford a war of attrition right now - but if something happened to you they might risk it.
Right. Head's down. Ears open and if I catch anything interesting...I'll let you know. I have no idea if the blood you gave me last year still takes given...
Apparently interesting time. Jake mentioned someone named Luciano? Maybe he can keep track on me?
I was in the middle of the most awful date of my life. Some producer was getting grabby and I just introduced my knee to his family jewels...and all of a sudden I'm in the land of tea and crumpets.
I need you to bite me and offer your blood to me. I'm supposed to go hide out with the Watchers but it sounds like I might be going into a minefield and I'd like insurance.
*starts unbuttoning his shirt* Do you have a preference where you drink from?
I hate being a cliche but I do like the neck. *traces his fingers along Arnold's throat while getting even closer and sinks his teeth in fast but careful - takes just a couple swallows before pulling back, licking his lips and opening his own wrist for Arnold*

no subject
Date: 2022-09-02 02:46 am (UTC)Magic stuff indeed.
Yes, the Council is here. I'm surprised they haven't descended on you already.
If you need anything, want anything I hope you won't hesitate to ask.
no subject
Date: 2022-09-02 02:59 am (UTC)Knowing them their response was to be twiddling their thumbs or war. Those tend to be the options.
Thank you, that's... very generous.

You can have a bit of my blood in a vial. Keep it in case of emergency.
Yes, you're safe with Charlie.

We all have our rough spots but yeah, we're a family. I'm just surprised I beat Aida to you.
Anyway, Charlie has me working on setting up an account for you. It'll have enough to make sure you're comfortable however long you're here.
