onceavikingThe room is cool and tidy.
There's a bed (huge and covered in red bedding), a desk with a closed laptop, and a small table with a couple of low chairs. They're draped with skins (deer and sheep), with carved backs.
Eric turns to face Athelstan.

There's a pause.
Then he says, quietly, " And now Pam knows."

Date: 2014-12-19 07:30 pm (UTC)"No help", he says quietly, "but... will you be able to do it alone?"
It goes without saying that if he can't, Pam who's so much younger couldn't be much help.

Date: 2014-12-19 07:50 pm (UTC)"... I don't know."
It's the truth.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 07:51 pm (UTC)"Could you find someone to help you here?"
No, he's not volunteering himself for that, but he is rolling up his sleeve.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 07:53 pm (UTC)His eyes follow Athelstan's movements. Intently.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 07:54 pm (UTC)"And if it kills you?" he asks quietly.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 07:58 pm (UTC)Briefly looking away again.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 07:59 pm (UTC)If he's telling her that, it means he's really afraid.
"It may yet not come to that. But I'm sure she'll follow your wishes."

Date: 2014-12-19 08:03 pm (UTC)And briefly, his eyes rests, not on Athelstan's wrist, but on his neck.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:05 pm (UTC)Athelstan notices and studies him.
"...how much do you need?"
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:11 pm (UTC)"I stayed awake all day. I needed to -" His brow knits.
He seems almost a little sluggish.
"We were at the mercy of The Authority. I needed to make sure Pam was okay."
The state he is on is likely a better answer than his words.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:12 pm (UTC)"Eric, you can barely think", he says quietly. "If you don't kill me, I'll recover. Take what you need short of that."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:18 pm (UTC)The click is loud. The fangs white and large.
He bends down, one large hand settling on Athelstan's shoulder, the other coming to rest at the small of his back.
Keeping him in place.
Eric's skin is cold.
As are his lips.
They briefly touch Athelstan's neck - and then the fangs pierce his skin.

Date: 2014-12-19 08:20 pm (UTC)Athelstan doesn't move, except a small startled shift when the skin is broken, but doesn't try to pull away.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:24 pm (UTC)Gradually pulling Athelstan closer, enveloping him with his large arms.
Growling a little.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:25 pm (UTC)"Eric", Athelstan says calmly. "Please stop growling. It's... a little unnerving."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:28 pm (UTC)At first.
Then the growling gradually grows softer. Becomes a moan.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:29 pm (UTC)He considers, then reaches up and rests one of his hands over Eric's larger one.
"Thank you."
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:32 pm (UTC)The hand on Athelstan's lower back moves up and ends up in his hair. To keep him still.
And helikes touching hair. It calms him down.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:33 pm (UTC)Whatever works.
He's just trusting Eric can stop himself, if it gets that far, before Athelstan is too weak to try to stop him.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-19 08:37 pm (UTC)He wants to go on.
But he reins himself in, biting his own tongue so he can lick the wounds closed.
His hand still stays in Athelstan's hair.

Date: 2014-12-19 08:46 pm (UTC)"Feeling better?" he asks gently, and doesn't move away.

Date: 2014-12-19 08:59 pm (UTC)This is awkward. But, Athelstan has to admit... not unpleasant. And after the experience of being drunk from, more intense than the last time...
"Eric." His voice is softer than before, and just maybe...
