[ even in his weakness and thirst he is not without presence of mind. he knows what leo seeks to do, looking with fear and denial away from the monstrous visage he bares; it's what he has always done. klaus is not hiding; he will not hide, and it's with a shameless display of the beast he is that he doesn't.
his eyes, scleras filled with black and pupils glowing golden, stay on leo until the draw of his blood, fresh and savory and sweet hits and consumes his senses. then he nearly moans at the whetting and sating of his appetite — it's one thing to be near death just a short hour or two ago and starving, and it's another to taste from the vein as he hasn't in ages.
he swallows down the mouthfuls pulsing into his waiting mouth. he draws in, ravenous. he can feel warmth in his insides, life in him; color and vitality and healing. he wants it all and he could take it —
he won't. there's no question, on the cusp of of hearing the moment just before leopold's heart beat slows, what he will do. he pulls away, head tipping back, lips parted and blood staining his lips, eyes closed in bliss. he veins again and opens his eyes, licking his lips and catching his breath. ] Thank you. [ this he means, a sincerity even in the fierceness of his ever-present hunger. he releases leo's arm. ]
