Office/Arithmancy Classroom/Quidditch Pitch/Library

[Akatsuki has been more tired than usual. It had been quite a long time since they had arrived to Hogwarts and he hadn't had a single blood tablet after that because they had none with them. Of course he could have fed from Aidou, but he wanted to avoid that as much as possible since feeding on a fellow vampire usually only brought more hunger.

Needless to say, he had gotten very agitated and red-eyed a few nights ago, when the air was filled with the scent of blood. To control his urges, he had closed himself into his room, refusing to really meet with anyone.

Unfortunately, he still had his job. So actually staying in control of his feelings and trying to seem the same as always was very tiring.

So he was sleeping in places like his office, on in the classroom right after his classes, in the library or even in the audience seats in the quidditch pitch when he wanted some fresh air. Not the best places to sleep in, but it usually wasn't his choice. Except maybe his office and the audience seats.]

It's fine. I only take small naps here anyway. Well, usually.

[He crossed his arms over his chest as he leant against the nearest wall.]

I assume you reacted to the smell, right?

[He knew he reacted a little bit and he hated it because he knew what it would usually mean.]

I will say right now, I have nothing to do with it.

[flamesofprotection]

I did, but I got it under control fast... and I trust your word.

[controlstheice]

[Well that was a first considering usually if something like this were to happen he would get first blame. But then again it was a very different world with other possible vampires around.]

You say got it under control, but did it make you hungry? I ask because right now I still have yet to perfect the tablets.

[He paused for a brief moment, the fact it was taking so long was actually royally annoying him. he was smart enough that he was sure he could have figured it out by now.]

[flamesofprotection]

[It's because he knows there's at least one that he can trust what Aidou was saying. That and he was too tired to actually start a suspicious questioning.]

Of course it did, but I'm still good on enduring it a little longer. How about you?

[controlstheice]

You know me well enough to answer that one.

[Sure he's actually drunk at least once here already, but he lacked the will power if the blood smelt good. Which sometimes could be most blood depending.]

Just trying to focus on my work, when not in classes.

[flamesofprotection]

Hmm... It's strange that you haven't asked me to give you blood after so long. You're handling being here far better than I thought.

[controlstheice]

Maybe I've just gotten better t that kind of thing.

[It was an outright lie.]
