(no subject)

[moonbound]

Characters: Ken Hidaka (AU), Aya Fujimiya (AU), open if you want to crash it
Setting: Floor 19 (research library)
Format: Either or.
Summary: Ken's cranky and looking for his friend. To yell at him.
Warnings: Consentual blood-sucking most likely.

Okay, so Ken had been in worse situations. He'd been hungry and cold before, but at least he wasn't injured and he wasn't alone. He was more alone now than he was used to, but there was Aya, and if he had chosen who he was stuck with, he probably would've chosen the vampire.

That didn't mean he didn't do things that rubbed Ken's fur wrong, and refusing to feed and take care of himself was first on that list. There was a short list of places he knew Aya would end up--the library topped that list, so Ken made his way there and sniffed him out. He wouldn't be able to sneak up on Aya, even if he did have his face in a book, but he wasn't exactly trying to.

Comments

Totally okay

"You don't have to ask the drones." Shion is still confused but it's clear no one is going to explain so he's just processing the information he has already and going with it. Not the best way to go about things but sometimes you can't have all the facts.

"I can get it, they are used to me borrowing things." He hadn't actually taken any blood for their clinic yet, if only because he couldn't trust Hojo not to tamper with it.

"Pretty sure one of us can manage it," Ken said, staring at Aya. The implication here is that if he doesn't, Ken will. No excuses. But he wasn't going to bring up Aya's conflicted nature in front of others, that was going a bit too far.

Or they could just find a quieter corner, but it wasn't like they were all trapped here or anything, Ken wasn't sure a quiet corner existed in the whole damn tower. Not that it was probably a good idea to try again, he was rather dizzier than normal even after such a short feed--it seemed Aya was right, Ken wasn't in a condition to go about these things the way they normally did. Then again, that could've just been the moon. He always felt horrible when it was so close to new.

"Aya?" Your input?

[redlikecrimson]

The willingness to do something like this was actually a little startling. For a little bit, Aya really had nothing to say, too busy staring at the two he'd just met. Just what kind of meeting was this anyway? People didn't just offer this kind of thing after what these two had just witnessed, of that he was certain.

Letting out a sigh, he sat back in the chair and gave a quick glance to Ken before frowning at him. "Ken, sit down before I knock you down."

That done, he bowed his head to the other two. "Thank you for your offers. Anything like that would be appreciated though I know of a wolf who will be making sure I don't starve myself anymore. He's very persistent about things like this even when he happens to be starving himself too."

[midgarhorizon]

Oh, that was just great. Reno rubbed his forehead, sensing a headache about to come on and it probably had a great deal to do with these two.

"Yeah, that's the thing. Non humans starving themselves if they got that non-food thing going on? Not too good for the rest of us. If it keeps you from going berserk again like that, I'll do whatever the hell you guys need."

Wolf... that's right. He did a double take.

"Hey, are you the reason why I got dog hair all over my bed?"

[savedbyasong]

Shion blinked as well but for completely different reasons that Reno. "You're starving yourself? What do you need?" What did wolves even eat? Meat... not nutrient bars that was for sure.

He didn't know anything about this but was already making plans to make his roommate and his friend got what they needed.

[moonbound]

Ken rolled his eyes at Aya and crossed his arms. "You. Stop trying to change the subject." There was obviously more he wanted to say, but he held off for now. Then, sighing, he turned to Shion.

"It's not like I mean to, I just can't eat those bars of whatever-they-are. And I'm used to it, enough that I can handle myself. I'm not going to attack anyone." He'd lived wild for 23 years, and for most of that time hadn't exactly been high up on the pack totem pole. He could--and had--gone for nearly a month without eating before. It wasn't pleasant, but he could do it.

"And yeah, that's probably me. Sorry." He didn't look particularly sorry, just amused.

[redlikecrimson]

"You are getting dog hair on your roommate's bed?" Aya gave Ken a look before he looked over at Shion. The boy was taking this well so that was a good sign at least. Best to answer that question.

"He requires meat while I require blood. Currently it's a little hard for him to get what he requires. While he can go for long periods of time without food, it's not favorable for him to be letting me feed off him after he hasn't had anything to eat."

Aya sighed and let out a small smile. "I'm sorry to have gotten you both involved in this but I thank you for understanding."

[midgarhorizon]

Stifling a few choice words, Reno just shook his head instead. "You two are a pair, aren't ya."

If it was to keep the peace in the Tower, and prevent more blood starved or meat starved incidents, he was all for it. Lessons in Tower life.

"All right, all right. I go huntin' down on the forest floors sometimes. I'll see what I can bring back up."

That was an idea. If he was going to teach fighting lessons again when the weather cleared...

[savedbyasong]

"Well that solves that mystery." Shion looked pointedly at Reno. "We'll help you Ken, don't worry. These aren't things you have to do alone."

Especially since their way of dealing with things alone definitely did not seem safe...

[moonbound]

At least it wasn't spring, once he blows coat your room will be absolutely covered in fluff.

Ken rolled his eyes again and gently whacked Aya in the back of the head. Well, gently for him, anyway. "I know my limits, thanks."

But he did appreciate the offer, and lets it known with a sheepish grin. "Thanks. I'm still not entirely used to the whole two legs thing, and the only floor with decent forest in here forces me back to human form. Makes it kinda hard for me."

[redlikecrimson]

Aya blinked at the mention of him being in a pair with Ken. Whatever that was supposed to mean. Shifting his head to the side, he let the swat graze his hair without letting it do much else.

Standing, he looked over at Reno and Shion and bowed to them. He was still so very Japanese.

"I apologize for what you had to see and for being so far gone that I attempted to attack you. Both were wrong of me."
