His eyes fluttered open and settled into a somewhat sad gaze at Lucifer. [color=cc3300]“I’m sorry, that was uncalled for, but this isn’t a simple preference like a child is picky for food. Aava needs flesh as we need blood. As [i]I[/i] need blood. If there was another way, don’t you think we would have found it by now?”[/color]
He’d tried several times in his life to feed from other creatures. Deer, rabbits, pigs, cattle, cats, even beavers — all they did was make him feel sicker and more ravenous than before. For some beasts such a diet was enough, he’d heard, but it was not enough for him and he highly doubted it would be enough for Aava. He considered Lucifer carefully as he searched for a middle way.
[color=cc3300]“I… I can try something.”[/color] Evren said. [color=cc3300]“There’s a pond not far from my cabin. I can take Aava there, we’ll hunt in the forest and we’ll be careful not to… not to upset the order of things. Your patrons will be safe and I won’t disturb you further.”[/color] His final words had just the slightest edge to them, perhaps unconsciously.
