Snippet #2464025

Benjamin pushed his goggles back into his hair when he heard a knock at the door. He rose from the table to open the door when he heard Julius's voice from the other side, "Meeting in the Hall Ben. You have five minutes."

Ben pulled his goggles from his head, casually throwing them onto the table next to the half finished toy. He didn't need the goggles, but he liked wearing them. He brushed his wait coast down and took his coat down from the hook. He checked his gloves for holes once again. Satisfied there were none, Benjamin headed up to the hall in question.

On his arrival, he saw Hikari with Tacitus. He was relieved that Hikari had ended up with the mute vampire, she was probably the safest vampire for Hikari to find. A cursory glance over Hikari confirmed his suspicions. Her head was bleeding. Benjamin clamped his jaw tight. His fangs had never felt sharper. There was blood. He was so hungry. He needed to feed. No, no he didn't. Not right now. Hikari deserved an explanation before he even tried to feed from her.

'Pardon me for stating the obvious, but Hikari appears to be bleeding," Benjamin said to no one in particular, "Quite a bit actually." He continued, not trusting himself to look at Hikari. He tried to catch Julius's eye, spinning his fingers subtlety, indicating that he wanted Julius to make this meeting as quick as possible.
