In Paraasilan, Esmaar, a pair of roommates are about to break a rule that, compared to the one about running in the corridors or even the one about unlicensed teleportation, is there for a good reason.

In unison, they complete their shared spell.

"...I'm not sure she's going to let go by herself until she's taken a gallon. Unless you let your blood pressure drop enough that she can't get it out anymore."

[cardistry]

"Well, as long as she's not gonna make herself sick or something, I don't really mind either way."

[alicornucopia]

"It won't hurt her exactly, but she'll probably be drowsy for a couple of days if you let her take an entire gallon."

[cardistry]

"Hmm," says Brilliance. He engages flight mode so his body doesn't have to support itself mechanically anymore - blood loss doesn't affect him nearly as much as it does biologicals but it affects him some - and continues not to repair himself. Let Hihhliir have however much she can get without him renewing the supply.

[alicornucopia]

Eventually there is not enough blood to provide the pressurization that vampire fangs require, and Hihhliir's instincts decide that her prey is dead. She lets go and sliiiides to the floor, smiling vaguely.

[cardistry]

"Restore," murmurs Brilliance. The wounds on his neck vanish. He disengages flight. "...You okay down there?"

[alicornucopia]

"Mmmmm," says Hihhliir.

"I can hang you up if you want to nap," Leekath says.

Hihhliir turns into a bat. Leekath attaches her the perch again.

[cardistry]

"I'm really tasty, apparently," says Brilliance.

[alicornucopia]

"It sounds like it. I hope she's okay after sleeping it off for a bit," says Leekath.

[cardistry]

"Yeah, me too. I wouldn't know what to do if she wasn't."

[alicornucopia]

"I don't think you can have hurt her. The question is if she's going to be awake and focusable after a little while of napping."

[cardistry]

"It still wouldn't be great for her if she wasn't, though, right? And I wouldn't know what to do about it."

[alicornucopia]

"She'd miss some classes, I guess, it wouldn't be a huge diaster..."

[cardistry]

He shrugs. "I guess I just - wouldn't like it if I wanted to do something nice and it turned out bad or inconvenient. But we'll see."

[alicornucopia]

"Yeah," agrees Leekath.

[cardistry]

"Hear anything interesting since I asked last?"

[alicornucopia]

"It tells me when you gain or lose mana and it was telling me about the flying thing you did so you didn't fall over and your healing incantation."

[cardistry]

"I don't actually know if I would've fallen over, but I didn't feel like risking it."

[alicornucopia]

Leekath nods.

[cardistry]

"I think I want more ice cream," he decides. "I'm gonna go have more ice cream."

He teleports to the cafeteria.

[alicornucopia]

The cafeteria continues to have ice cream.

[cardistry]

Brilliance continues to consume it, gradually but steadily. Because it is delicious.

Kaylo is back for his next meal a few angles subsequently. He spots Brilliance and sits with him. "Hey. I see you got rid of Leekath eventually."

[cardistry]

"She spent a while reading me my own specs first, though," he says. "Accurately. Down to the shape of a form I've never displayed in this world."

[alicornucopia]

"Divinatory wizardry exists," says Kaylo, and he takes a bite of a sandwich.
