✶ How shameful... To have let Rosa see a glimpse of that side of herself, that side that very few ever saw. It was the side she detested as it made her behave and act...uncivilized. Skal and Nebula were the few exceptions who lived knowing her secret. Now the redhead and Iris were among them. She only hoped she had not made the girl feel...unsettled by her behavior. Evelyn thought this to herself as she stood there, gripping her arms tightly. 'Hahaha...I brought this upon myself...' Usually she never got this bad as she was good about managing her urges. She could get away with a small supply of blood without falling to blood lust by monitoring her diet. By eating normal food coupled with red meat every now and then, she could stave it off. But as of late, Evelyn had been failing in that; too preoccupied with getting her plan off the ground now that she was so close. It was uncertain if skipping Rosa's meal was the last straw as she had been skipping several meals. And now look at what state she was in... A heaving mess before Rosa and her knight. Her labored breathing had returned as the pupils of her eyes would become vertical slits like that of a cat or snakes. She was only getting worse as she looked at Rosa and Iris. The coursing blood in their veins looked so...tantalizing.
Iris frowned as she held her protege up, shaking her head. "I had wondered...what exactly would possess Master Skal to follow under Master Evelyn. I believed...that reason to be strength in more ways than one. To think they were more alike than that..." She would release the girl as she summoned her wings again, feeling the weight lift off of her. They had put some distance between them and the blonde woman, yet she couldn't say they were safe just yet. Rosa's shining artifact was oddly keeping the starved woman from coming closer, but for how long. "...This is different from Master Skal. I can't be certain what's going on with her. And I fear any closer examination will result in my death" she expressed clearly with her same monotonic expression. Though that wouldn't be necessary as Rosa uttered an explanation for what was going on. "Master Evelyn...is a vampire? ...Yes, that would make sense" the physician nodded. Now that she thought about it, a lot of things the empress did began to click in her head. And while she thought, she missed the moment Rosa had materialized a cup. What she did with that cup would surprise her when she saw it, yet she didn't stop her.
Evelyn's gaze would become fixated on the cross hovering before Rosa and Iris. Its light kept her at bay; deterring her from getting any closer. She contemplated how to get rid of it, but also fought herself on doing so. It was keeping her subordinates safe for the time being. Being at war with herself, she remained standing and staring at them. And then, Rosa performed a very suspicious act that nearly sent her over the edge. She...cut herself?! The scent of blood was in the air now and that spilled blood was being poured into a familiar cup. Her teacup? She glanced back to see it was in fact gone. What was Rosa trying to do? The scent of blood was enough to in fact draw her closer despite the deterrent. But when that cup of blood was suddenly placed behind her, Evelyn could not resist its allure! She hurried over and scooped the cup into her hands and drank of the red substance within. Ahh, it was so warm and rich; it was evident Rosa had been taking care of herself. As she drank, she heard the girl's words as she left, closing the door behind her. Evelyn stood in silence as she finish, gently placing the cup down on its saucer. 'Rosa...this guild doesn't deserve her...I don't deserve her...' she shook her head. When everything was said and done, where would she stand? It's possible she would come to hate her for the things she would do. But she was prepared to shoulder that hate for as long as she had to. Before she could get back to her plans, she had to do something about her "blood" issue. The amount Rosa provided was enough to help her regain control...but she needed more. Raising the shadows, the empress would slip into their darkness, making her way off castle grounds.
Iris would stare at Rosa for a moment before giving her a light chop on the head. "Injuring yourself like that is reckless. Even more so, cauterizing the wound that way..." The redhead could feel she wasn't mad, but was still reprimanding her for doing what she did in that manner. Perhaps it was because she approved of helping Evelyn in her time of need. Taking Rosa by the wrist, not with her injured hand, she would take the lead back to the girl's room. "I'll fix it the right way. I can't stay long, Master Evelyn instructed me to run other errands. Oh...I suppose you are one of those errands" she recalled the request to check on Rosa.
