[ D might not want pity but he could understand the reason it would be offered. He was asking for something from Simon that nobody else could give him. He'd take that as it was given. ]
Yes, you're right.
[ He extends a hand. Simon can sit with him if he'd like. D is curious about what Simon is going to do, how he'd share so he can taste D's blood. If he'd react anything near to what a human would. If D will have any reaction. ]
[He'll rise from his chair at the extended hand and moves to come sit beside him. This close D really is interesting to look at, beautiful even. Skin like porcelain, it looked soft... right, he's not here to ogle him.
Simon flounders a bit, thinking of how to do this, fingers tip tapping on his knees.]
My skin is synthetic, but uses thirium, my blood if you will, so I'll still bleed if it's cut or broken.
[Not a lot, but it does. Or I say it does cause it's not ever explained in his canon. Shrugs and does whatever. He would bleed more like an actual human if the white hard plastic of his body under the skin was breached, broken, rendered, but he'd rather not go that far. If he'd had bagged thirium on hand he'd just have D try that, but. Alas he'd not needed any so none on hand.
He tilts his chin up a little.]
... would you prefer doing it here? You won't be able to fully bite, underneath my skin is hard, like I showed you before, but I figured it could be familiar? If that's ignorant of me I'm sorry.
[He only knows of vampires from fiction after all.]
[ D's feature were sharp, cuts and lines and angles that were meant to make him equal parts frightening and beautiful. Appealing to humans. A natural way to draw in prey. He neither holds his appearance in high regards or dislikes that he was fashioned this way. What he values is the quirks in others.
If someone who was not human, like him, could find D attractive then he would only find that endearing. Simon could look at him and know that he's not the same as others. But to see and still continue to look, to sit so closely, it was a behavior that D respected.
He's not sure the best way to do this. Simon was an android and the makeup of his anatomy was wholly different. ]
Will it cause you pain?
[ That was important and something D wanted to prepare for. ] It doesn't matter where. Your neck, your arm. [ Long fingers wrap around Simon's wrist. ] Here.
[There was nothing about him that put fear into Simon, more so just made him more curious. His sharp features were lovely, definitely human looking, but obviously not fully. He liked it. If anything he wanted to know more about him.
He doesn't flinch at the long fingers around his wrist, instead he turns it slightly in D's hold.]
No, I don't feel pain. I can register damage to my body, but it won't "hurt" me. My skin can fix itself yes, I'll be fine.
[ 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.]
