onceavikingIt's quiet out. The night air is cool.
Eric looks even more pale in the darkness. Walking quietly next to Athelstan.

Date: 2015-06-16 05:38 pm (UTC)He doesn't say anything.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-16 05:47 pm (UTC)Athelstan puts his smaller, warmer hand in it, wrist facing up.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-16 06:05 pm (UTC)Stroking Athelstan's wrist with his fingers to find a good spot. It might feel like a caress.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-16 06:16 pm (UTC)It does, somewhat, but Athelstan isn't - entirely - the naive soul he used to be. Not entirely not, either.
His pulse beats under Eric's fingers.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-16 06:28 pm (UTC)Closing his eyes.
Drinking.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-16 06:32 pm (UTC)Athelstan watches him as the blood flows, letting the feelings of it wash through him.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-16 06:34 pm (UTC)Then he repositions Athelstan's wrist, licking his skin as he does so.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-16 06:51 pm (UTC)So far, so - usual, if being fed on by a vampire is ever usual.
The cool of Eric's tongue is a shock against his warm skin.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-16 07:04 pm (UTC)His thumb is drawing circles on Athelstan's skin.
Slowly.
Slowly.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-16 09:01 pm (UTC)Athelstan moves his hand slightly in Eric's grip, not pulling away, just resettling it a little bit for better comfort.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 04:22 am (UTC)He swallows and says, "Hold still," his lips moving against Athelstan's skin.
"Or I might hurt your tensions."
It's mean as a warning.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 09:39 am (UTC)He takes it as such, and holds still obediently.
"Yes", he murmurs. "I need my hands in working order."

Date: 2015-06-17 09:52 am (UTC)Athelstan makes a quiet sound, partly but not entirely pained.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 09:55 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 10:02 am (UTC)He's become used to these odd moments of tenderness, whether they're to ease the way or because Eric forgets himself for a moment, and he smiles just a little.

Date: 2015-06-17 10:19 am (UTC)And once more.
And then he lift his mouth away so he can bite down on his own tongue.
Hard.
It makes a loud, crunching sound in the quiet night.
He dips his head to lick the wounds on Athelstan's wrist closed.
Slowly.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 10:31 am (UTC)Somewhere in the wood nearby, something is disturbed by the noise and flutters up noisily.
Athelstan watches his wounds seal over, always curious at how fast it happens.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 10:33 am (UTC)Then he retracts his fangs.
That click is a little less loud.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 10:49 am (UTC)Athelstan looks up at him, almost friendly.
"I should go..."
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 10:51 am (UTC)"Yes," he says, making no sign that he is going to walk back inside.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 11:07 am (UTC)A faint smile.
"You never know what's out here."
Funny how he seems reluctant to be the first to leave, but he does take a step in the direction of the bar.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 11:48 am (UTC)Quietly.
His face is still.
Then he says, "You okay?"
It's a practicality.
As always.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 12:01 pm (UTC)"I'll be fine", Athelstan assures him. "The usual rules, a good meal and a night's sleep, good as new."
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 12:03 pm (UTC)Then he turns and disappears into the darkness.
{ooc: I am following along with the other thread omg. Eric will be livid if he is informed that Ragnar believes he broke a deal. Livid.}
no subject
Date: 2015-06-17 12:05 pm (UTC)[ooc: Athelstan will not be telling him that because from his perspective, it isn't true]
