“W-what do you mean?” Sonia’s voice jumped as she reached out, but didn’t touch him. She learned that he didn’t particularly like touching, this was a difficult mannerism to learn and adapt to for her. She wanted him to feel comfortable and was willing to sacrifice the intimacy that came along with the physicality.
“By what? An animal? O-or…” she tapped her hands together, trying to think of another case. It would be a bad time to make a horror movie reference in the moment, he could be in serious trouble!
“Let me retrieve Tsumiki– she will be of more service than I.” She bowed her head as she turned to find the nervous nurse.
“No!” Gundham hisses, hand lashing out to grab Sonia’s wrist and pull her back. Mikan won’t be able to help him. He already knows how to face this issue but he needs a second to keep him from making a terrible mistake and Sonia is one of the only people he can truly trust in this. Besides, she is more qualified than anyone else to combat something of this nature.
The moment his hand comes in contact with her warm skin he realises his mistake. He can feel her blood pumping through her body, the smell of it is so intoxicating, and that thumping in his ears is the steady pulse of her heart. All these sensations sing to him, screaming to give into that hunger. He could. She’s right there and already within his grasp. How easy it would be to pull her to his chest and sink his virgin fangs into her skin.
Gundham snarls, releasing her wrist and taking a step back. He turns away from her, fighting the hunger. He grabs the consecrated silver ring he wears, relishing in the burning agony it provides.
“She ... she can’t help. Only you can, Dark Queen. I ... I have been embraced by the night and must combat it. Please.”
