[ it's been a few weeks, but with how gung-ho she'd been wanting to smoke, even without experience, he does feel a tug to check back, to make sure she hasn't tried something far more dangerous. he's that social kind of guy who digs down every which way and tends to lose track of all the acquaintanceships he's courting though, so it is some time before he manages to remember and send something to her before he gets distracted again.
who thought there would be so much to do in dead not-dead land? ]
hey. hope you haven't tried eating cigarettes by now. they don't taste great. just fyi.
[ It's not a message she's expected, but that doesn't mean she's not glad to hear from him. While the username is a mystery, the cigarette reference is a dead giveaway to who lies behind it. And it makes her smile, which is nice. Really nice. ]
my diet might be kinda weird, but I can assure you, it doesn't include cigarettes yet.
[ oh. cute. he almost teases her inclusion of "yet" but decides against it in favor of asking about the diet thing. because that kind of didn't come up before. ]
[ Well, guess he didn't get the memo. She wonders briefly about how many others are also clueless about her no-longer-secret identity before typing out the answer in plain English. ]
[ oh. actually that makes a lot of sense. not that he's really concerned since she seems to be fairly lucid and not at all talking like a starving vampire in a horror movie. that would have been more of a red flag. no, eliot's just curious. vampires tend to keep to their own in his world, and better understanding other vampires is still something quite new to him, especially since all of them seem to come from different worlds anyway.
what if sparkling vampires are real somewhere? ]
so long as you aren't being starved. I'm glad you have that support.
is this weird to ask? I don't know, but I'm asking anyway. how often do you actually need to eat? is it like a "I'm hungry now and must feed" kind of thing? or just creeping hunger like. y'know. normal.
[ Somehow, she doesn't mind him asking these questions. It actually makes it a bit easier to just have it be out there in the open and on the table for discussion — it's not some big secret anymore and just talking about it helps really hammer that fact home. ]
thanks. I'm honestly surprised so many people are willing to do it, but I'm also really grateful.
it's not weird. it's just... complicated.
do you want to get a drink? the alcoholic kind. I think I could explain things better in person.
back where I'm from, you can definitely get a kind of high when you're bitten, so. I don't know maybe some of these people wanted to test those limits?
but also people are just. really nice about some things too while being shits about others [ what else is new though? ]
ah, you're speaking my language though. I'd invite you back to my place if it didn't seem awfully forward and also the living room wasn't covered in paper because my roommate is trying to become this place's Stephen Hawking, but. Invincible?

what's so weird about your diet?

I'm a vampire, I have to drink blood to survive.

how does that even work here? i'm guessing the general store doesn't have a secret stash of blood?
