Snippet #1489388

Viktor noticed the already rather forced smile on Ai's face gradually lessen, detecting that something was wrong at hand. When she spoke, she seemed to trail off, not mentioning the exact reason for her being placed in this class--though Viktor was smart enough to put two and two together and hazard a guess that it had something to do with her tendency to go practically flying out of the class at random intervals for whatever reason. Viktor suspected a thing or two about it, but it was none of his business and she clearly wanted it kept to herself--and thus Viktor would respect Ai's wishes.

But before anything more could be said, the class had begun, and the students ferried themselves off to their seats, Viktor taking the nearest one to him. As the teacher began speaking, Viktor could not help but, as he looked up at the human, picture him not as a teacher but as a nice snack--though he was slight of build and none too well built, hardly qualifying for a filling meal...

Dammit. Bad vampire. Viktor had to wonder just how this guy was going to teach him to control himself when it was simply necessary that Viktor drink blood--after all, if he didn't, he would become a danger to anyone around him. And conversely, it wasn't as if anyone was just going to let a vampire drink their blood--especially not a type b vampire as Viktor was, renowned for the sheer horrible pain their bite caused. And yet every day he did not drink he felt himself becoming less and less sure of who he was and gradually more temperamental, more irritable, and eventually violent--and exponentially more powerful every day. It was the reason that, before tourneys, he went a few days without drinking blood, though of course the other reason being that no one was about to let him drink their blood willingly, and Viktor didn't like the fact that he had to drink their blood either.

With a sigh, he glanced over towards Ai, curious about how she was going with this class. She seemed rather uneasy, uncomfortable, as if a rising panic and anxiety were within her--Viktor could guess she was probably holding in whatever caused her to need to burst out of her classes randomly.
