[ She's... not even a vampire right now, for all intents and purposes. But he really is quite...tempting... she kind of wants to draw closer, too. ]
Drinking someone's blood-- becoming lost in the taste of them-- it's easy to become intoxicated like that. And feeling one's blood drawn, someone's mouth upon your throat... it can be pure bliss. It's an intimate feeling...
[he's tall but he's definitely leaning down so he's closer to her, his voice softer now so only she can hear it, his claws gently running along her jawline and cheek]
... I know. I know now, what it's like. Even if the thought frightens me now... I cannot deny how... intimate the experience was. If it was with someone I trusted, like you... I think I would not feel so afraid.
[ Her arms lift up, wrapping about his neck. It's merely an embrace at first, gentle but secure. She's up on her tiptoes to properly hold him.]
I would never do anything to hurt you.
[ And she means it. She cherishes him and all the rest of Taisho too much to try and do something if she thought it would have a negative effect. He's important to her. And she truly hopes he knows that.
Her words are a soft whisper, and her nails gently brush his hair back, exposing his neck while she hums softly against his ear. ]
[he can't hide how hearing her voice by his ear sends a shiver through him, and he instinctively wraps his arms around her waist to hold her close, intimate without being overt]
I trust you. You always... look after me.
[he licks his lips and presses a gentle kiss to her temple]
[OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES ME LIKE EIGHT SECONDS TO DRAW MY SWORD IN THE MOST DRAMATIC FASHION POSSIBLE, THAT'S RUDE THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN WAIT FOR ME
which is to say fox is barely coming up to block that swing with his sword, but he manages to do it, albeit somewhat clumsily]
