"How is your friend Herodis?" His lips brushed against her cheek like a soft breeze. "Have you seen him since your return?"

"With everything going on, I haven't had the chance." A small pause followed. "I worry about him. Is he alright? What is he doing these days?"

"Maybe you should make time to go and see him."

She tilted her head slightly, trying to glimpse his expression, but gave up when she realized it would mean leaving the cocoon of his arms. "I'm surprised you would say that. I know you don't exactly..."

"That is in the past. He was a genuine friend to you. A good one who was there for you during dark times. He's a kind of friend worth having."

"I am glad you have such a friend. Genuine friendships transcend time."

"It's nothing. Go to sleep, dearling."

"Is it the poison?"

He didn't respond.

"No more secrets, remember?" she yawned. "Tell me."

He exhaled. "I haven't been feeding."

Her eyes snapped open. "Bloodfeeding?"

"Mm-hm." His acknowledgment was barely audible. "With everything happening lately, I need to feed more to heal faster, to heal completely. But..."
