Luna shook her head slowly, brushing her hair to one side. No. You're shaking. You're cold. A long pause as she drew in a long, shaky breath. I... I can take it. It's... worth it. Just... don't take too much. Just... a pint.

"I don't know how to measure it." Elle tried a shaky smile. But her eyes had seen the neck and the Hunger was back. It'd just taken what, a neck and the presense of someone close, and it'd come back? Already? And it was there taunting her as it tried to get her to accept it and to stop fighting it. She could fight it.
Elle didn't think past that, she'd drifted close to Luna as she'd thought frantically, breathing on that neck's sensitive skin, already wrapping arms around Luna and biting.

Luna inhaled sharply, eyes squeezing shut as she instinctively tensed, fingers gripping the the blanket as tightly as they could hold on.

Elle's arms tightened, eyes shut, mind going blank and shut on everything. She barely even understood that it was Luna right now, the only thing she could be aware of was teh warmth spreading through her again, the Hunger purring. Why was Hunger purring?
And how much had she taken? She'd lost track.

Luna could feel her own mind growing blank as her eyelids relaxed, and then her fingertips, and then her hands, and then her arms, and then her shoulders, and then... she felt as if she'd fallen into water.
Maybe... they only called it lightheadedness because body density made it so that a head WAS light under water, but otherwise...
Deeper, deeper, and deeper still, she sank until she was only vaguely aware of her surroundings. She felt Elle's fangs, but not the pain. She could hear Jokeph's footsteps, but not that they were getting closer... or that he was running.
And suddenly, everything went white. Not the gentle, soothing whiteness of a blank mind, but a violent white. Angry and blinding, like a bolt of lightning, and moving away from her just as fast. And as fast as that bolt of lightning struck, it was gone, and Luna was awake again. Jokeph had stumbled. Her neck burned. And her head ached terribly. And her body was fighting for its life. Her heart was pounding, adrenaline surged through her veins, and her eyes were wide open.

Whatever that was it had hurt, and she'd jerked back instinctably from whatever it was creating it. Elle's head throbbed and she stared dazed at nothing for a few seconds. Then she remembered. Luna!
"Luna, what ...I'm sorry! I don't know what's happening with me." Elle would have reached for Luna but she was staring at the mark she'd left. It was bloody, and it wasn't that she hungred for it... she wasn't being bugged by Hunger now... it was that it was Luna and she was hurt. "....maybe you should go and leave me and ...I don't know."

"Nnnnnnngh." Luna seemed to fold up on herself like a rag doll as her hands weakly moved upwards to massage her temples.
How long feed fullness... feeling being? Her thoughts were jumbled, but, for the moment, she was still conscious.

"I don't know." Energy was seeping back into her body and her mind, bringing more and more strength with it. But it was Luna's strength that was spreading into Elle and she felt awful. She wished she had something for Luna to eat, they did that with diabetics, they fed them sugery things. "Are you all right?"

"Luna? Luna...!" Elle grabbed Luna and picked her up. At least one thing in this room wasn't covered with blood. But Elle looked at Jokeph to make sure he didn't mind as well... and that he was all right.
"Should I... I could put her on the bed and...I don't know. Clean up. I guess?" She was so uncertian of what to do. Elle almost wanted him to tell her what to do. He was an 'adult' or looked like one? She didn't feel like an adult. She felt like a kid. It wasn't a nice feeling either, she never liked not knowing things

Jokeph's face remained eerily blank, but his stance plainly stated that he was Not Pleased™. Even if Elle couldn't understand him, he signed anyway.
Give her to me.
To emphasize the order, he moved forward to collect Luna.

"Oh, you want her?" She just felt worse at his ...well, his attitude. And she'd thought that wasn't possible! "Um, okay."
Not that she blamed him if he was angry. He had every right to be. He was like Luna's unofficial boyfriend/husband/brother/father/every other close male relationship, all rolled into one.
Very carefully she let him take Luna. A shudder went down Elle's back at the sight of Luna all limp as if she'd lost all her bones. It was a horrible feeling that made Elle's skin crawl. She didn't like how Luna felt, what she'd done to Luna.

With a sigh, Jokeph stretched Luna out on his lap, tapping her cheek with his left hand until her eyelids began to flutter.
"...Nnn," she eventually muttered, batting Jokeph's hand away but not opening her eyes. Elle okay?

Elle sat down nearby, watching anxiously, grabbing at some random piece of paper to shred it to pieces as she did. She felt a huge rush of relief with Luna returning to conciousness. "Are you okay?"
