Who: June and Thomas
What: Revelations
Where: June's apartment
When: Backdated to Thursday night
Closed/Low/Ongoing

June was dressed a bit more like herself than she had been most other times Thomas had seen her. She had been using over-sized sweaters and leggings to hide her middle as much as she could, but now that he knew she didn't bother. Not that she really could anymore. At over seven months there was no hiding that she was pregnant, even if she hadn't been wearing the tighter shirt and maternity jeans.

She had used her time in New York to get some of the things that made her apartment feel more comfortable and familiar. Including a normal coffee maker. She set a pot to brew for Thomas and pulled out a box of cookies too, eating one while she waited for him.

She hadn't really any clue what he needed to tell her, and she was curious, but she was trying to keep from speculating. She didn't really know what their relationship really was, but she did like spending time with him. He seemed kind, and appreciated her for more than her womb.

	"You've managed," Thomas said as he followed her. "Reminds me of Justine. She's my, uhm, my girl-, ex, I guess." The words still cut and he swallowed. "You mentioned coffee?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	June could sense his hesitation and didn't push the subject. They both obviously had pasts that weren't always pleasant. "Yes, of course." She pulled two mugs from the cabinet above the coffee maker, pouring him a full one and filling hers about half way. "How do you take it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Black," Thomas said. He leaned against the counter as he waited for her to hand him the coffee. It was whiskey or rum that he really needed. "You know that some people around here are not human?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She handed him his cup and then went to the fridge to add a bit of milk to hers. She leaned back against the counter opposite him. "Yeah, I've seen a few." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded a silent thanks, not wanting to disrupt the conversation. "Mhmm... you might have wondered where these incredibly good looks are coming from..." He motioned to himself. A grin creeped onto his face despite his restless state. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She let out a small, soft laugh. She'd wondered a few times, if there was more to him than it seemed, but she hadn't thought on it much. There were certainly some very attractive people in the world. She'd never seen anyone like him, but she hadn't ruled it out. "It might have been a thought." she admit.

	Her admission made the grin last. But it dropped soon enough when the next words were spoken. "That's because I'm... I think you would call it an incubus." His gaze dropped to his coffee as he waited for her judgement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	His words made her pause a bit, both hands on her mug. "What...what do you mean?" she asked, not wanting to jump to conclusions, because her first thought was...not good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_tooprettytodie 2018-03-25 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	She hadn't run away yet or kicked him out. That was something. But he could sense her wariness. "In my world we are called White Court vampires. Unlike the reds we feed of emotions instead of blood. We have demons inside of us which turn us into what we are. The demons of my house feed on lust." The words were spoken to his mug. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She considered his words carefully, but he hadn't addressed the part that worried her. "The people you...feed on, is it consensual?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_tooprettytodie 2018-03-25 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	That was the part he had been the most afraid of. A deep breath. "Not always. The world where I'm from doesn't know about the existent of the supernatural. It would be impossible." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Is the sex?" she asked, assuming that is what he was implying was needed for him to feed. "And what does it do to them?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_tooprettytodie 2018-03-25 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Err... yeah. Women find me very attractive if I want them to," Thomas said. "It's lust that feeds the hunger. Women who do not want to sleep with someone rarely feel lust." He hoped it sounded convincing enough. It only painted a small portion of the picture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seemed like such a grey area, June didn't really know what to think. "Does it kill them?" she asked, then followed up, "How have you been doing it here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_tooprettytodie 2018-03-25 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	"If I take too much... but I don't want to. I don't want to hurt anyone. I've barely fed here," he answered. He hoped she didn't ask for the whole story. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why not?" June asked, curious to see what the reasoning was. She was still on edge. So much of what he was describing felt like it went against everything her gut told her was right but at the same time he seemed to be doing so much of it right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_tooprettytodie 2018-03-25 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Because I do not want to hurt anyone," he said. It was what it came down to. The coffee mug sat forgotten between his fingers. It was more complicated than this. But it was too hard to explain it to anyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She sighed softly, mind reeling a little bit. "What does it do to you? To go without?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_tooprettytodie 2018-03-26 06:30 am UTC (link)
	"It's like going without food," he muttered. "It weakens me. It makes the Hunger restless." The long-term effects were left unsaid. He had shut his eyes towards them for the past few months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She was quiet for a few moments, staring down at her cup before looking back over to him. "Can you do it safely?" She asked softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_tooprettytodie 2018-03-26 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	"What?" he exhaled. "Going without?" The answer was no but he wanted to stall, not quite sure how to put it. How to make it seem like he had things under control when he did not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofjune 2018-03-26 04:57 pm UTC (link)
	"No, feed it." She corrected. The whole situation seemed so messy but killing himself when there might be a way to do it safely seemed just as wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_tooprettytodie 2018-03-26 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Uh, it can be. When there are, uh, enough people," he said a slow nod accompanying the words. Enough people was the big problem but it wasn't the only one. "And I can control it. Sometimes I can't." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofjune 2018-03-26 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Are not enough people here willing?" She wasn't sure if it was a good question to ask, if he'd tried and failed or didn't want people to know what he was. "Or...do you not want to?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_tooprettytodie 2018-03-26 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	Now she sounded like Sarah. He snorted. "What do you suggest I should do? Ask all the women here if they are keen on becoming food? I'm a vampire. What if they decide to hunt me down instead?" He couldn't blame them if they tried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
