"Look!" he snapped, "It's too late for me, alright?? Don't ruin what little life you have left for my sake. It is the very least you could do..."<br/><br/>-----------------<br/><br/>"Tsk, you try to push this little wrench on me when you knew fully well I wanted the other."<br/><br/>Meiranis' jaw dropped. Aridan held the struggling woman up by one arm, seeming to gauge her. "I said I would give you a replacement, nothing more." Meiranis growled in return, face darkening. Aridan chuckled, though his eyes appeared flinty. "Why is it you want the other one, anyway? Her blood, perhaps?" Meiranis poked at a nerve, seeing how Aridan would react.<br/><br/>His response shocked the younger incubus. "Really? Her blood tastes the same as any othe-" He paused, looking to the ground, immersed in thought. Meiranis swallowed, praying that he didn't mean what he thought it meant.<br/><br/>"This... is all the more reason for me to take her, Meiranis."<br/><br/>"No!" He snapped, "Take this one! She will be less trouble!"<br/><br/>"That's not what this is about, and you know it." The sternness in his eyes shocked Meiranis. His mouth dry, he began to contemplate what should be done.<br/><br/>"One month, that is all I'm giving you. Bring her to my home when the moon is new." and with that, Aridan left, dragging the screaming woman with him.
