Adapt or die. It's a saying for a reason.

[He takes a sip from his bottle and leans against the table closest to her, swiping a pickle to munch on.]

What, no cake? No party hats? I'm wounded.

[No, he wasn't, but he did throw a fake pout her way.]

[boutant]

You gotta give a girl some warning, Damon.

[ Ariadne can't help laughing. Oh right, this is why she talks to him. ]

But there's cake over there.

[ She points toward some of the Ye Olde Cakes... though she really, really has to ask. ]

How does that even work? Cake, pickles, alcohol -- you live off blood, don't you?

[withbite]

Complicated magic stuff. The magic that keeps me animated [Woo, spooky fingers] needs blood to survive. As long as I'm tip top in those terms, I can function pretty normally. Well, better than normally, actually.

[Wink.]

[boutant]

Huh. That almost makes it sound more like a battery than food.

[ IGNORING THAT... ]

[withbite]

It sort of is. Without it, even with human food, we run down. Wear out. Stop. It's disgusting and I'd rather not go through that again. Which is why finding willing donors is such a necessity...

[And now he was turning the puppy eyes on her. Could she resist?]

[boutant]

[ Yes. ]

I've donated to another vampire -- not sure how much I have left.

[withbite]

[Clearly he'll have to pull out the big guns (when someone has the icons for it >>)]

Oh? Has someone been putting their pointy little fangs in that delicate neck? I think I'm jealous.

[boutant]

They don't go straight from the vein.

[ There are needles involved, which Ariadne doesn't mind. ]

Very polite of them, actually.

[withbite]

Enh, I've done the blood-bag thing before. It's like... fast food versus a good southern barbecue. Though, it's better than my brother's diet by far.

[He took another drink, intentionally licking his lips as he met her eyes again with a smirk.]

It always tastes sweeter from the source. Ninety-eight point six... mmm.

[boutant]

[ Brother, huh? ]

What's he eat?

[ Damon, talking about eating blood is not sexy. ]

[withbite]

Bunnies. Deer. Squirrels. He's on the Edward diet, only he doesn't sparkle. Which, thank god for that.

[That's just because you haven't seen where he could take blood from, Ariadne. Or during what...]

[boutant]

To be fair, venison is delicious.

[ Though she feels him on the sparkling thing. ]

[withbite]

Venison is. Venison blood, not so much. We need human blood. It's how we were created. Unfortunately, my brother has... issues.

[Belittling Stefan was one thing, and he'd do it no matter where he was, but he preferred to save the really horrible stuff for when he was actually here. So Ariadne would only get teasing little nibbles of info on Stefan. Unless his brother somehow showed up.]

It's like living off rice cakes and tofu.

[boutant]

Some people seem to enjoy that. Still- I see your point.

[ Ariadne is not one of those people. ]

What about humanoid? Elves, dwarves, that sort of thing?

[withbite]

Those people are crazy.

[Damon isn't even in the same zip code as those people.]

I don't know. I never had the pleasure last time. It's one of those things I'd sort of like to see someone else attempt first. Just in case elf blood eats through my intestines or something gross and completely unappetizing.

[boutant]

... Would you be able to heal from that?

[ also, ew ]

[withbite]

Possibly. I haven't exactly experimented with drinking corrosive materials. As long as it leaves my heart in check...

[boutant]

If it was just corrosive, I would think it would. If it was poisonous, then you might have a problem.

[withbite]

Depends on the poison. Not much that can take me out.

[Werewolf venom was about it. Even vervain worked its way out somewhat quickly.]

[boutant]

Well, this is already theoretical. If their blood could melt through your intestines, who knows? It could be poisonous to vampires, too.

[withbite]

Which is why some other adventurous fanger should get the honors. If they survive, then hey, look at that, I've got a hemoglobin variety bar.

[boutant]

Well. Let me know how that goes?

[ Or don't. Actually, she's pretty good with "don't". ]

[withbite]

Why, so I can tell you what my favorite flavor is?

[This one was odd. Scared, but not scared enough. Curious, but not too nosy. He grinned as he took another drink, then held the bottle out to her as an offering.]

[boutant]

Just curious.

[ She shrugs, then takes the bottle. Ariadne knows better than to push too hard with the people who have little to no problem killing her to get her to shut up. ]

[withbite]

Uh huh. Why so curious about my eating habits? Or are you trying to find out all my weaknesses so you can creep into my room in the middle of the night and use them against me.

In that case, I'm very weak against blindfolds and silk ties and women in lingerie. Cripplingly so.
