As Elliot replied Cal couldn't help but feel... Well, he wasn't really sure what this emotion was. Did he feel guilty? Or just frustrated? Though it wasn't because of Elliot, rather just their situation. Cal shook his head, his eyes watching the male, before turning away, clearly troubled. "I don't like that." He finally said. "I don't like just giving in and trying to "make it work" just because it's what we are stuck with. I've already had to do that once, and for what?" He didn't have the power to go against his family for a long time, and where did that put him? Simply watching someone he loved, someone he could never be with, die long before him. He had tried to simply get on with his life that way, as servant and master, just as they were supposed to, just as they were fated to be, and what did that get him? He had never thought he could change that, so he had never tried.<br/><br/>He sighed, resting his head in his hand, why were both humans so different and yet he couldn't help but see similarities in them? It was cruel of him to do he knew, but it was something he couldn't avoid. "Someday I may ask for you to be a meal for me... Is that not asking for too much? Asking a human to tolerate being fed on by us... It is vile and unfair." He murmured, though he truly didn't ever want to get to that point, but could he really avoid it? He'd known for a long time now that eventually... Eventually, this method wouldn't work anymore, and he wasn't sure what that would mean in the end. He'd been growing weaker for a long time now, but with the bond it seemed all the worse. But even if Elliot was willing, even if he claimed he didn't mind... Cal truly felt terrified of giving in all the same.
