002 // Voice

[artificing]

[Cy's in pretty bad shape, even if it can't be seen it can definitely be heard.  His voice is ragged, a growl to it as if he's trying to keep himself together.]

I know all of you...  You're pr--  You're blood is pretty precious to you but...  [He pauses, sucking in a pained breath so he can go on.]

I need to feed.  If I don't...  Well, it'll be bad.  [He gives a bitter little laugh.  Bad is an understatement here.]

Needs to be human.  Can't...nothing else works. 

[As if an afterthought.]  Please.

Warm.

[ he blinks a few times, and then slightly shakes his head, as if to get his sight back into alignment. ]

... woozy. What happened?

[artificing]

[Cy chuckles softly.] Sitting may help, as well as eating something if you followed my suggestion.

When we bite a willing person they're rewarded with it feeling good. Some trait left over from out demonic progenitor or perhaps an evolutionary trait. [He shrugs. It's a topic that's been debated about quite often but no one's really sure the reason.]

[limitstorm]

[ ah, right, eating. he digs a hand into his pocket, biting into a chocolate bar. yeah, he's the healthiest. ]

Better than feeling worse. Though I--I guess I should lay down for a while.

... I'm gonna guess you wouldn't know how much you--drank?

[artificing]

[Chocolate is great, if Cy could still eat solid food he'd be after some of that. As it is, however, he watches, somewhat envious that he can't enjoy chocolate in a solid form anymore.]

If you need help back to your room I can assist.

[He gives thoughtful hum as he runs his tongue over his teeth.] Only a few mouthfuls...I think. Should have been less than half a pint. [Just enough to keep him stable enough to get more from the clinic if he can.]

[limitstorm]

[ riku feels like asking if that's enough--but he knows that it's probably not a good idea to question his choices. besides, he's also sure someone would have a problem with him giving more than that amount of blood. hell, someone may have a problem with him giving blood at all. ]

Then I guess it's not that bad. [ he nods to himself. ] You don't have to help me. I'll be alright on my own.

You're okay, though?

[artificing]

[At least it's likely to be a one time thing?]

If you're certain. I don't mind offering since I did leave you a bit out of it. [He forces a smile as he rises. His wounds are healing, albeit slowly.] Yeah, I just need to get over to the clinic.

[limitstorm]

[ he shrugs. ]

I've had worse.

[ riku leans a bit forward, as if to catch him if he has trouble getting up. he's been alone and in need of help for a long time, back home--he knows the struggle, and he's not keen on leaving anybody behind. ]

You alright getting there yourself?

[artificing]

[Cy waves him off as he nods.] I'll be fine.

[He takes a step then pauses, realize he never gave his name and he doesn't know the name of his savior.] Ah...right I've been rather rude. My name is Cyril Thackary and if you need anything, do let me know.

[limitstorm]

[ ah--what? ]

Cyril... Thack-ery? [ the name is strange on his tongue, but he simply shakes his head. ] It's alright. I'm fine on my own. Just make sure you're taken care of.

[artificing]

[Cy smiles and nods. People always did have a problem with his name.] Cy is fine. But, honestly, I don't mind lending a hand if you need it. You helped me out so it's only fair.

[He takes a few steps, a bit shaky but not looking like he's going to fall over.] Thanks again.

[limitstorm]

[ he smiles a little smile, rubbing the back of his neck. honestly, riku's always loathe to ask or accept for help, so he simply shrugs. ]

I'll be okay.

You're welcome.
