I've also enjoyed it, and would love to do more.

Beyond the physical, I feel like you understand me in a way. Is that strange?

[ When she entrusted him with private and painful truths about her childhood. Likewise, with what Klaus shared about his own life. ]

Not at all. ( he is thinking too, of the drinks and conversation they shared. ) I've felt quite at ease with you.

I'm so pleased to hear that.

[ Truly. It meant a lot to read those words. ]

It's been the same for me as well.

Then I look forward to our next conversation. Or turn about the dance floor.

I look forward to any kind of engagement we have. No matter the venue.

[ Well, they didn't do any dancing as such. But Bela is okay with that. ]

There was something I wanted to ask you, regarding the blood drinking.

( a different sort of dance. he's smiling at that. )

What about it?

Did the aphro influence you to drink from me or would you have done it anyway?

I don't mind that you did. I've been tasted before.

( he's curious to know by whom, but he suspends his interest for now.

it's a fair question. one he takes a moment to consider. )

I often want to, in the heat of the moment. Being a vampire is not all immortality. Our senses are heightened. We feel everything more exquisitely, vividly. More passionately.

I knew your scent and I wanted you. ( it is why he grabbed at her, to begin with. ) Perhaps the aphrodisiac drove me to bite you earlier and more urgently than I might've been tempted without it.

[ Bela reads over his reply, her thoughts immediately going back to that night. It was incredible. A rush. Even without the influence of the aphrodisiac she probably would have felt that same rush. ]

So drinking someone else's blood in that moment would be euphoric. I can understand that, even if I am unable to feel so much at your level.

I wanted you as soon as you touched me. The aphrodisiac heightened that but I also think it heightened the pleasure I felt when you bit me. Or maybe that was you.

Either way, I would want to experience it again.

( there truly are so few sentiments more arousing than this: a beautiful woman he has admired expressing the desire that he bite and fuck her. again. that pointed you in particular may stroke his ego in all that right ways, as well. )

Well, I'm willing to test the levels of euphoria you're able to experience. Though I suppose we must do it quietly.

[ She didn't expect that being bitten during sex would be a thing she would enjoy. Yes, small nibbles and marks were to her liking, but what he offered her went beyond that. Until they met again, Bela will have to hold the memory in her mind. ]

I live in a private dwelling in the Up. That should be quiet enough.

I'd also like to take some more time. Explore what you like as well.

There's little I don't like, for the record.

( the truth is he's tried most things in his long life.

but he'd like to explore her and explore with her. )

Though more time would be at the top of my list. I should warn you: I don't tire easily.

Your warning is heeded, though I am not surprised. Perhaps I will need to imbibe something so I can keep up with you.

Some sellers in the Down may have something for stamina.

[ She's had that sort of thing in the past. Made such a difference when it came to lasting for a while.]

I'd be interested for you to try. ( it's not showing off if his endurance is practically incalculable, is it? )

Do you find the drugs to be reliable? ( he hardly trusts anything from the city or its natives, and he's curious, since she seems comfortable with the notion. )

I've found them to be reliable in the past. I know who to go to.

[ So she's careful, and now that he's interested, Bela is even more determined. ]

When shall I expect you? I'll forward my address.
