Dimensional Descent

Leonel felt a spark fly through his Dreamscape, but he said nothing. Other than a slightly odd expression, which is about what one would expect for seeing such a scene for the first time, he gave nothing else away.

Aina's reaction was even more visceral.

Leonel knew how Aina had ignored her Blood Sovereignty for much of her life for fear of how it might appear, namely to him. Even after he said having a vampire girlfriend was cool, it took her quite some time to come into her own.

Seeing this sort of scene, and how truly disgusting it was, she felt all of that suppressed disgust come back up all at once.

One of the young men laughed.

"Haha, little beauty, have you never seen a real masculine man before? Real men eat flesh and drink blood."

Leonel's gaze flashed with undisguised frigidness.

"Real men catch their own prey. If you want to flex your muscles, go do it elsewhere."

Leonel's words were biting, and the embarrassment on the young man's expression was clear, even as it quickly turned to rage.

"What did you say to me, slave?!"

Leonel didn't respond, staring at the man as he stood to his full height. The latter's embarrassment returned when he realized that he was actually half a head shorter than Leonel, but that didn't stop his blood-covered snarl from echoing.

The young man seemed to remember that Mo''Lexi was there and restrained himself somewhat. He glared into Leonel's eyes and spoke word by word.

"Watch your mouth in the future. You're nothing but a butcher, a farmer, a convenient transport. Am I supposed to catch every meal I have with my own hands? Don't give yourself more credit than you deserve."

The young man snorted, feeling that his appetite was ruined. He placed the demon within his spatial device and then left after bowing to Mo''Lexi.

The other two laughed to themselves and then left as well after giving Leonel a glance. Though, he didn't miss how their eyes lingered on Aina at all.
