Although if you want to suck down blood in the corner like a starving animal, I guess that's your perogative... That stuff must be like sex for you guys, huh?"[/color] A nervous laugh was the most the fledgling could manage. He deserved the insult, that much was for sure; but even if he was a monster now, he felt at least some need to defend himself. [color=0072bc]"L-let myself go? Tell that to everybody gorging themselves out there. I'd sooner sit outside and watch the sunrise than have any part in that."[/color] Burning to ashes was starting to sound like a better and better idea with every passing second. [color=0072bc]"It's insane, what this stuff does to you... It's like the strongest drug ever, and I don't want the addiction to go any further than it has to... I know I'm not gonna make any friends going against the grain, and you're right, I'm probably gonna be a laughing stock.. but I won't let them change me more than they already have. I'm not gonna be another number in their system."[/color] A modicum of confidence could be heard in Joryldin's voice. It was faint, but it was there. [@Scribe of Thoth]
