[If he hadn't started it he would be making faces now. Din-dins. Though a part of him wonders if she's also calling it that because to call it what it is - feeding on your best friends' blood - is more distressing than she'd like to admit. She's not having a lot of luck making any of it sound nice right now.
And it isn't nice. That's one reason why he never favoured willing donors, though some of his kindred argued for the ethics of it. It's just another mask. They are horrors. Sometimes he remembers that very clearly.]
I don't doubt your ability to deal, but it does weaken you. It... could be the crucial difference between running fast enough and not quite. [He'd been thinking about that, too, on the night after her loss.] I have no intention of allowing myself to be treated like an animal - not unless I truly become one. But it can't come at your expense. Or Rhys's. Consider that what I can't deal with.
[Looks like it's time to dance the stubbornness tango again.]
At the very least I should consider asking for other donors. Spread the burden.
