[ He nods once to acknowledge Simon's inability to feel pain and that he can heal himself. The smile reassures briefly but D's body is tense. Muscles bunched in his shoulders and back, aware. Present. He won't mean to hurt anyone if Simon's blood causes a reaction but he's prepared for the worst.
D leans in and growls low in his chest, teeth elongating. He's careful as he bites Simon's wrist, pricks the skin, and lets the liquid flow into his mouth. He immediately pulls back, eyes closed.
When nothing happens, that he's aware of, a calm settles over his body and he opens his eyes. They're blue, the same color as the Thirium, but D doesn't realize it. ]
Thank you.
[ Now he's satisfied that Simon's blood won't cause a negative reaction. ]
[It feels like the mood has suddenly changed, thicker, tense. Simon is quiet, watching for the most part, but while he doesn't feel pain he can still feel when D bites him. It elicits a soft 'ah' from him, but mostly he's just watching curiously.
Those fangs were something else.
Thankfully nothing terrible seems to happen, D doesn't seem to be in any discomfort or pain from tasting his blood... Simon is relieved when he thanks him, but surprised when he's greeted by blue eyes now.]
Oh- your eyes, do they normally change color when you feed?
[The color is very striking contrasted to his pale skin.]
[ The lack of a physical response is comforting. It affords D a sense of peace he's not be allowed with anyone else. They may still be able to hurt one another but not in the way that would take away all of D's control and put people at risk. ]
They do.
[ D isn't surprised by the comment. ] My eyes turn red when I feed.
[ But was that what Simon meant? The dhampir moves quickly, flits across the room to a mirror to look at his eyes. They're blue. They widen in shock. It's a minor alteration but it's still a change. He's back next to Simon in a matter of moments. ]
[Now Simon is marginally quicker than a regular human, but not like THAT. It's amazing really, meeting others who are different, he's really starting to like it. Simon looks a little frazzled by his speed, but can't help but chuckle softly at the clear surprise D seems to be experiencing.]
I guess you've never had blue blood before. The color looks really nice with your complexion I think.
[Stark white skin and striking blue eyes, it's... pretty.]

Did it taste like anything to you?
