She had learned a long time how to deal with thirst. Perhaps she even dealt with it a bit too well, having learned to ignore the tell-tale itch of her throat to the point that sometimes she didn’t even realise she was thirsty until it got really uncomfortable. Unfortunately, this time there was no chance she simply wouldn’t notice her ow needs for blood. The itching had spread from her throat to all over her body, feeling like tiny insects crawling up and down her skin.
She had tried to hunt, of course, but her suggestions only held any weight when she was well-fed and the only other method she had at her disposal... Well, she would turn to that if she got truly desperate. It’d be his own fault,really, if him leaving led to her having to cheat on him to get what she needed, but for now as long as she stayed busy she was coping.
If her eyes constantly glowing red as her body shook and her thoughts constantly strayed to blood could be called coping. With her senses heightened to an almost unbearable degree she really couldn’t miss the sound of the door opening, and maybe if she had been in less dire straits she would have ran to hug him, demand his attention, apologies for leaving, anything but as it was, she was almost restrained, even as she reached for his hand, adding almost as an afterthought.
“I need to drink - Can I please have some blood?” She didn’t want to make him angry by just biting, not in this state.
