[Kyrie appears on the video feed once again, although the serene looking girl definitely seems...out of it. She's lethargic and her speech is slowed. Unfortunately, she can't really get any paler than she already is, but even her eyes seem less dim than usual.]

Ah...my time at the common space is almost up. Would...would anyone be willing to lend me a room in exchange for cooking or healing?

...or if someone is hiring that could use either of those skills?

I would appreciate it...thank you.


[Private to Konoka Konoe]

You're...you're human, right?

I need your help. Please.

[Most vampires are not looked upon too kindly in Crescentia, and for good reason. Many of them are incredibly violent and care not for whom they decide to feast upon. Even Kyrie is still pretty nervous around those she hasn't known for a while.

The fact that she's a priestess in addition to being a vampire is incredibly surprising for most. The undead typically don't mix with the divine very well.

Kyrie blinks. Konoka was taking this...exceptionally well. Maybe she was right to ask her after all. Even so, she shakes a little as she slowly lifts up the other girl's arm.]

Just...enough to live. I promise. It...it might feel a little strange, though.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ah.

[ Something made Konoka wonder how this girl became a vampire, or did so without losing her divinity. But that would be a question for a bit later. The real challenge now, was just letting her bite. ]

Strange? Does it... feel good?

[ She's heard of (and seen) both sides of that spectrum, though most of her experience has been limited to Eva, Dracula, and a stray few in Everglade. ]

[ironicfate]

[That's not a story Kyrie's really ever told anyone. Perhaps in the future. There's a pause, but Kyrie nods in response to the question. There's a reason many 'donors' come back again and again.

And Konoka was about to learn why firsthand. The priestess pulls back Konoka's sleeve provided she has them and bites down on her forearm. Yeah, it's going to hurt for a moment, but after that, a warm, tingling sensation spreads rapidly from the wound. It's extremely pleasant, and will likely leave the poor girl with a warm high for an hour or two afterwards.

...and that's in addition to feeling a little woozy after Kyrie has her fill! It doesn't take very long before she releases Konoka's arm with a satisfied sigh. The silver-haired priestess already looks much healthier.]

Ah...thank you, Miss Konoe.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Konoka whimpered at first, expecting the bite to be a little painful, but... just like some of things she read (and heard rumors about Eva), she then felt a pleasant tingling. It made her whimper slightly, as it made her body shiver in some strange delight. Wow, did vampire bites feel that good? ]

Ooh... you're welcome.

[ Konoka put a hand on her chest to catch her breath, and try and get control of her body's strange feelings. ]

[ironicfate]

[Thankfully, Kyrie is neither malicious or possesses that predator instinct many others of her kind do, otherwise Konoka might have needed a trip to the hospital or worse.

She presses her fingers to the puncture marks before murmuring, her fingers glowing as she seals up those holes. She might as well heal it for her. It won't do much about the wooziness or the high, but the priestess felt it was common courtesy.]

Will you be alright? Do you need help walking back to someplace safe?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Konoka took a deep breath, trying to ignore the shivers going through her body. ]

I should be alright, but the gesture is welcome.

[ Konoka noticed the healing. ]

Oh, that's nice. I tend to be the one doing that these days, so it's rare I see other healers at work.

[ironicfate]

[While Kyrie remains the same incredibly pale shade she normally is, she definitely seems much more lively. The vampire flexes her fingers for a few seconds, as if checking to make sure they were working properly.]

Hm...if you're sure, I won't pester you about it.

[She nods and smiles at the other girl.]

It's the least I can do. If you ever need my assistance, I owe you.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Please don't worry about me. I promise I'm alright.

[ She also has a Pokemon for protection. ]

But we should meet again. Consider that the main part of the favor you owe me!

[ironicfate]

Ah...are you sure? That seems like a small price to pay.

[She's not averse to the idea of meeting up again, although Kyrie knows it's likely that Konoka would probably seek her out herself at some point. She nods, though.]

I would be glad to see you again.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ The promise might be stronger since that addictive quality had yet to really settle or put a grip on her. This small priestess looked positively defenseless before Konoka came to the rescue, so maybe getting to know her better would help her settle before anyone mean could do anything to her.

Like Ted. ]

I'm sure. Who knows what I'll ask when we meet again?

[ Konoka winked impishly. ]

But don't worry too much about it okay?

[ironicfate]

[Fighting is one thing Kyrie refuses to learn. She firmly believes that fighting is just...not necessary, and hates seeing people injured. It's one of the reasons she wanted to become a full-fledged priestess.]

...hm?

[Innocent as she is, any implications that wink might've had just go right over her pretty little head.]

Okay.
