[So. It's been a couple months, perhaps, since things became very strange for a certain elf and...probably pretty routine for everyone else in Aravalle. Sure, a small menagerie of woodland animals has managed to sneak into the castle grounds and disturb the poor gardeners and groundskeeper, and Shirin herself is actually remarkably difficult to find for anyone who can't track her by blood, but she's a quiet semi-permanent houseguest, and does her best not to disturb the staff while they wait for the masquerade to pass. She declined--vehemently to be seen in the capital; her being anywhere near politics was very unlikely to go over well with the elves and it probably wasn't worth international incident for Konstantin to bring a snack to the whole thing.
But now that things are due for a return from whatever ridiculous debacle the party was, certain elves are...oddly restless. Prone to pacing the length and breadth of the castle like some sort of caged beast. Unsettling the hell out of pretty much every member of the household and Aravalle's own court. Possibly pinning one noble to a wall with an arrow after he got too pointedly loud about complaining where she could hear. Things like that.]

...I really hope you didn't need me to do anything involving a lot of walking tomorrow.

[Poking his cheek.] Undead as you may be, you're alive enough...I'm bettin' I'm not the only one what saw stars. Tell me honestly...you want me very much to say 'yes' to that, don't you?

[He chuckles, and stares at her.]
I am not going to lie, though, I enjoyed that... considerably so, in fact.

[She flushes, faintly.] I don't intend to escape, but I don't need to sleep very much and I find all the stone and brick unsettling, sometimes.

[Well now she's just...idly playing with his hair because dude, shit's soft as hell for a dead man's.]
But I doubt I'll go that far.

We'll still need to do something else. I realize I didn't explain before, but...the last time a vampire subsisted off an elf's blood, the sunlight in their veins turned them into a shambling monster, a daywalker with no mind and no conscience. Tempering that with other sources should prevent the madness, and I don't know what me giving it willingly changes, but.
[She pauses, and rolls over to sitting up, which conveniently means he can't see her face.] As I said. It should mean you never have to take enough to kill, again.
