A Promise Kept

Taira stared at Keran's milky white skin and pulsing veins for longer than he would have liked to admit.

The longer he stared, the worse his hunger seemed to become. 

Perhaps allowing Ayame to mutilate him in order to get his point across wasn't really the best idea, and he would have been better served to find another method. 

He wanted to say no to her offer, but as he remembered the sweet and familiar taste of her blood he felt like doing so would have been a crime against nature. 

"I suppose... it is best that I do not try to study on an empty stomach."

Keran smiled inwardly as if she was about to get everything that she wanted and started walking closer to Taira. 

As her feet carried her towards him, she made brief eye contact with Enyo who was floating in the corner. 

She was giving her a wide smile and a rather passionate thumbs up as she mouthed 'good luck!'
