"Oh. That." Aidan shook his head. "No. I don't have the pain anymore. I broke the spell in that other world. A friend of mine volunteered without my asking her to to give me blood, from then on, it hasn't hurt."
He hoped that was vague enough. He didn't need this woman trying to track down Evey and talk to her. Aidan didn't imagine that would go very well at all. Evey was not the sort to defend her actions, especially to somebody she didn't know, when it was done to help somebody she cared about.
"The friend that gives me blood now is somebody entirely different." He added after a beat. "A person that can heal himself so I don't have to worry about hurting him."
That was enough information on that matter, too. "Nobody wants to see me made up like a little toy, or with a collar on. Except you."
