[ When Aymeric takes a moment to stop and consider the past and the past lives that he has lived, he finds that what memories should be there are hidden from his sight. Somehow, it seems that Alkaid can recall bits and pieces from the past, so why can't he? Could it be that while their paths did cross, something is preventing him from truly recalling anything relating to those times? He knows that he has felt sensations and feelings that seem familiar, but nothing more concrete than that is coming to mind.
He does not doubt that they loved each other, and thus continue to do so in this life, but he cannot grasp onto anything, as hard as he tries.
Those thoughts seem to blur together as a strange siren song-like effect takes hold because of the sight of her bared skin. But the moment passes with a bit of a push and pull between his vampiric instincts and his desire to remain himself, not a monster, although as she has noted, he curls in on himself, recoiling until she slides her hands to rest against his face.
The sight of her smiling and looking so very happy stirs up something inside him, and again, he leans into her touch. He wants to feel as happy as she appears, and maybe this is his chance, if only he can work through everything that seems to be keeping him stuck where he is. ]
I- I never imagined that I might be able to do that. [ To have that temptation presented so clearly before him and to somehow resist it... He assumed that there was no resisting, no fighting against those instincts to draw blood and drink freely without a second's thought. ] How did you know that that would work? [ She put herself at risk, and it could have gone horribly wrong had he not been able to seize control of the situation. ]
But I intend to protect you to the best of my ability, and I suppose... I suppose that there are things I must do if I am going to hold up my end of the bargain. [ And that includes doing more than subsisting on rats and hiding himself away from the world. ]
But where should I start? [ That question is more him musing aloud; he does not expect an answer from her. Where he should start is finding a better source of nourishment, and he knows what that will mean. There is such a source right in front of him, just waiting for him to accept what she offers, if only he can. ]
