"See... Charms wear off. So my affections towards you are real. I can't lie to you. You always seem to know when I do." he said giving Asa a returned smile. "As for your blood... How long have I been a guinea pig?" he didn't mind being treated with vampire blood, but the thought still made him feel a little uneasy. But he supposed Asa knew it would be safe for him to take before giving it to him. But that left another question. Had Asa 'healed' or kept anyone else alive in the same way? "What else has your blood done to make me different? Everything seems normal to me" but he supposed it would appear normal. Carter wasn't even sure what to look for in himself and he'd been taking the blood for years. He wouldn't notice a difference until he lost it.<br/><br/>Thinking about losing someone always made him feel an overwhelming emotion. He was sure he'd feel the same way if one of their staff members left him. They were like family now after all. "Hmm... But life shouldn't be that way" he said with a small sigh. His eyes drifted off to the side and he gave his head a little shake. "No. You shouldn't need to accept that. If you ever decided to leave, you know I'd hunt for you until I found you again. Even if you only vanished for a day or so. I'd come find you..." he said looking back at Asa again. "I'd expect you to come and hunt for me too". He knew Asa would come looking for him if he ever vanished from the house again. Carter had only gotten lucky the last time. He'd left far too early and he understood that now.<br/><br/>Whatever the cost, Carter wanted to make sure Asa stayed with him. Despite the vampires efforts to keep him at bay, it never worked. Carters feelings for Asa continued to grow more and more everyday and he knew his guardian could see it. He longed for it and showed his affections anyway he could. Even if it was a simple touch to Asa's cheek.<br/><br/>"Nothing left to hide?" he repeated arching a brow. "I don't believe that for a second. You, who lives in a house full of Rabbit holes that only you know. People always leave a trail. You're no different" but he knew he'd need to do more digging if he wanted to find something else that showed what Asa got up too. The next time wouldn't be so easy. But then again... Some people liked hiding things in plain sight too.<br/><br/>"I don't have any more questions" he said lowering his hand back around Asa's waist and smiling as he was held closer. He set his head against Asa's shoulder and let out a small sigh as he inhaled quietly. "What have you got planned for today then? I knew Nancy was going to tell you about my findings... I asked her to put them back in your wardrobe, but she gave me a rant instead" he said holding Asa a little tighter "What were we going to do before all this?".
