Their embrace helped settle the vampire some, as it usually did. Would it have done so when he had fled from the library? If he had stayed would Luca have soothed him? The human's gentle words implied that he would have. Aries didn't know if he could believe him, but he wanted to, and so, for now, he decided to leave it at that. The rest could wait after the human was somewhere safe, after they rested a bit, after Aries stopped feeling as though his world was being tossed around inside his head to the point where he wasn't sure which way was up anymore.<br/><br/>The end to their embrace was sudden, but Aries didn't argue against it. Instead, he took back the sweatshirt and pulled it on, nodding about being able to walk to the headquarters. He wasn't worried, he was tired sure, but Luca's blood was more than enough to get him there before the vampire gave in to his exhaustion for the night. As before, his weariness was mental rather than physical after the meal, so he could go as far as Luca needed him to.<br/><br/>And that was probably for the best as the human began coughing and Aries felt his stomach lurch… he had noticed it before too, but only now did he realize that Luca was probably more than just a bit worn down. He stepped closer, watching him worriedly, though when the human stated he would need to lean on him Aries softly touched the other's arm. "It's okay, I'm fine." He stated, his body could hold out… it was the benefit of being a vampire after all.<br/><br/>However, he didn't think Luca could walk all that way, and so he crouched down before him. "I'll carry you. It will be faster, and… and since I drank… my body feels lighter." He admitted voice a bit soft, shameful… but he figured that if he didn't assure Luca that he could handle the strain then the human would turn him down. But after everything that happened Aries wanted to do as much as he could… and this seemed like such a small thing in comparison to all the human had done to reunite them.
