That I do believe is true, but you did tell him that I possessed an advantage over you and, thus, he was concerned. I wonder what would have happened had you told him about the house. A misunderstanding I fear.
So now you know my hesitation. Let's pretend for a moment I entertain your request --- what do you suppose will happen after?
...No. I ... stayed from the members of my unit, in fear that I would attack them. Seeing you ... I had thought that you would end it before anything could have happened, just as you did before.
[ with a small nod, and a slight hesitation - he takes emet's wrist into his hands, and plunges his fangs into it. ... immediately, it tastes so good, feels so goos that Auracite can't help but gasp as he laps at the blood that flows from the two small wounds. for the victim, it feels good as well- though, how good is a question.]
[ he makes a small noise, something like protest in being insulted, but he doesn't stop - his mouth doesn't break away from skin, he continues feeding. ]
[That's good. That's very good. For in that hesitant beat the fingers of his free hand curled in Auracite's hair. Had he not stopped, he would have gotten a sharp tug.]
I would ask if you are satisfied. That no longer do you feel yourself a threat to your comrades. But we both already know the answer to that.
You're avoiding the question, my dear boy. Do you not yet hunger? Do you not worry for you unitmates you perchance could stumble across? If these worries are not appeased, my duty is not yet done.
That was ... enough. Although - in truth, I feel as if I could have continued to drink my fill, that- ... I no longer feel as if I may snap out of hunger.
I would be remiss not to give you a word of advice. Should you ever ask me again to 'strike you down', I will not hesitate. So choose your words carefully in the future.

I- told no one of what ... you had done, in that house.

Retaliation, I can only assume.

However, it would be cruel of me to not leave you with some manner of aid. Would be a secret to keep or I would help you with this craving of yours.

I will ... allow you to decide how I- ... do this.

Though I have to wonder, have you asked anyone else to help you? Considering your first words to me, I'm surprised this is an option at all.
[Also, maybe, just maybe, if Alphinaud dislikes himself enough, he'll be easier to take down a peg if he needs to be.]

Are you sure that travesty of a member of Zrael was the only one you bit? Such practice and ease, why, it doesn't even hurt?
[The opposite in fact, but good luck getting him to admit that. Though the involuntary twitch of his fingers might betray him. Just a little.]
