Aries finished his shower and dried off slowly before dressing. He was unsure what he might walk downstairs to... Would the other still be asleep? Would he be awake and angry? He nibbled his lip as he took his time, not having heard the other come upstairs with the water running. When he finished getting dressed he finally exited the bathroom just in time to hear the bedroom door shut and he blinked... Had the other come upstairs while he was in the shower? Was he avoiding Aries or simply going to sleep in his bed?<br/><br/>He shook his head and decided not to think too much about it as he went downstairs, smelling the scent of blood before seeing the mug. He grimaced slightly but simply sighed... He didn't want to waste it, and the thirst had returned, though not too much... As he had earlier he swallowed it quickly as he might foul-tasting medicine, getting some water to wash it down before scrubbing the mug clean and setting it aside dry.<br/><br/>He still hated it, still hated that he needed it... But he couldn't change that. So he returned to the living room and flopped down on the couch again, listening to the tv as he closed his eyes and decided to try and sleep. It should have been easy, he was tired by now, but he lay there for quite a while before finally dozing off into a light and somewhat restless slumber. But it was at least something.
