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.]

I figured it was the better option, than him eventually jumping on a student.
[His gut, combined with a hint of legilimency tell him, he can trust Akatsuki's words. No matter how they looked at it, the man had been pretty responsible, good-natured and level-headed until now, and gave next to none reason to warrant uch a reaction as Sano gave him earlier.]
I'm sorry I freaked out on you. You caught me off guard there.
[He admits with a sheepish smile. Rare occurrence, but undeniable. Still... It's too easy to catch the glimpse of red shooting through Akatsuki's eyes and Sano's look wanders to his wrist again.]
... Does it bother you?
no subject
[Akatsuki finds himself staring at Sano's wrist. He closes his eyes, to calm himself down.]
A little, I must admit. But I can endure.
no subject
[Now that the shock is worn off, he's slowly coming to the realization that Jirou told him actually very little. In fact, it felt like his friend hadn't bothered to inform him about anything at all. Aside of 'Intense feelings', which yeah, okay, fair enough, had been really intense. But he could deal later with Jirou. First things first. There were a few things he absolutely needed to know.]
Is there anyone else in this school aside you [
and Zelman, damnit], who can tell?['Endure'... Once again, Sano quietly wonders how long exactly does 'endure' last. ... Does he offer again? Is that the right thing to do? He only offered Jirou, because the groundskeeper was a friend and had looked really bad that night and Sano couldn't have taken the risk of endangering the students. Didn't the same arguments count in this case? He might be the only person to know, aside the headmistress... though he couldn't know that for sure. Maybe Akatsuki had his own way of getting the necessary blood...]
Is there anything I can do to help?
[He ends up asking, because while it's not a direct offer, if he's the only one they can turn to, he has very little choice, if he doesn't want to subject anyone else to it.]
no subject
Hanabusa Aidou. He's my cousin, from the same place I come from. As far as I can tell, we two and he Mochizukis are the only vampires here.
[He shakes his head at the question though.]
Don't worry about it. If there's something I'm proud about, it's my control. In emergencies, I can ask Hanabusa for help.
no subject
Alright then. Thank you for telling me.
[It’s also relieving to know that they haven’t found out about Zelman yet, because that might have been a problem. It’s also relieving to hear he doesn’t have to go through that experience again so soon, especially with someone he barely knows. Not that it would have been a problem per se, but he still hasn’t settled his thoughts about it.]
Honestly though, if you need my help, let me know.
[He might be relieved, but the student’s safety ranked above that. If it came to the worst, he wanted to make sure Kain knew they could ask for his assistance. Of any kind.]
no subject
[He may be hungry but once he's past his limit he'd go to Hanabusa. For real.]
no subject
[Sano says with a smile, feeling a little calmer with that promise, but still. There are things you couldn't control, or could lose control over. And Sano wanted the guy to know, that before that happened, they could come to him. But for now, it seems fine as things are.]
I better get going. Those brooms ain't gonna defrost themselves. See ya 'round.
[He gives the vampire a casual wave before walking off]
