I was looking for a breath of a life

[temperedwill]

[He stretches his arms before heading out for the night. Working at a hospital was convenient, especially that he could work graveyard shifts given the nature of his existence. It wasn't that he couldn't go out during the day, which is a ridiculous pop culture thing about vampires and sunlight, but not completely untrue. Avoiding being in the sun was convenient. It made him sick easily and he imagines extensive time in the sun might actually kill him. Also, working at a hospital meant a food source. Not exactly fresh, but he's lived without that for awhile and the convenience of blood packets versus trying to hunt for a meal without getting himself killed was definitely a plus.

Keith had done pretty well with blending into society. Well, if being mostly a shut in counted as blending into society. He hadn't got into any mishaps with hunters though and he hadn't actually ran into other supernatural beings other than maybe other vampires. He didn't particularly get along with a lot of those that were his kind. Something about being more sympathetic to humans and viewing them as more than just food sources. Personalities clashing and what have you. He was fine being on his own anyways.

As Keith starts heading down the sidewalk, he gnaws at a corner of one of the packets, sucking out of it once he's made a hole. He was warned to not do it on broad daylight, but it isn't day and who the hell is walking around at like four in the morning?

Besides, he was starving and he didn't live too far from work. It'd be fine.]

[fine, if it weren't for lone wolf lance. ha.

[it's not like he's actually a loner--his pack is huge, his family is huge, the mcclains are known in the supernatural world just for their sheer size. but lance prefers to watch humans, to live among them and immerse himself as deeply in their culture as he can.

[when he sees keith, he's sitting on the sidewalk behind a set of stairs that lead up into an apartment building, resting for a bit in the cool night air after a full six hours of nightlife. and he sees him sucking down that blood packet.

[huh. it's usually harder to find supernatural beings.]

Wow, couldn't even wait til you got home.

[He jolts a bit at the sudden voice. Honestly, Keith should have noticed the other, with how the other smelled different to what he usually smells. It just wasn't something he was thinking much or looking out for.

The upside was that the other person was obviously not just some random human. And the peculiar smell set him from a hunter.

Still...]

What's it matter to you?

[It's none of this guy's business.]

[meowterspace]

What're you gonna say if some rando human sees you sucking down blood?

[he sits with his arms extended over his raised knees, jacket's hood piled high up behind his shoulders making him look even scrawnier.]

[temperedwill]

[Keith shrugs in response. It's not like Lance should have expected the other to actualy answer.]

Doesn't matter what I would have done since you're not one. Even then, it's none of your business.
