Very chivalrous of you. [ it sounds flat, but that's just how heine sounds most of the time. in reality he's amused by the gesture, a little, at least now that he knows it's not going to cause midnight any permanent and/or deadly trauma.

toxic blood, though... heine doesn't want to test his own limits, not least of all because he knows what it's like to be treated as a specimen and would never put anyone else through that, ever, but he also doesn't have any particular worries about being infected. if only because his body was designed down to the gene sequence to be indestructible. ]

I don't mind, but I'm even harder to infect than I am to kill. [ still, he shifts politely away, leaving enough space that it's unlikely that midnight's blood vapor is going to get near him. ] I thought there was some biting thing involved with vampires?

[ the boy heard "i vant to suck your blud" one time and that's basically what stuck. ]

You can also tell me to fuck off if you don't want to answer. I won't take it personally.
