[METEOR]

METEOR

Meteor’s eyes half-closed as he relaxed on his ‘pillow.’ The tension in the coyote’s body carried, but Meteor refused to budge. He actually seemed oblivious to Kole’s internal distress, except, however, for when the coyote finally relaxed. Then one of Meteor’s eyes opened fully and his lazy smirk returned.

While Kole stuttered out his offer, Meteor held eye contact. There was impatience in his golden eyes, in the twitch of his ear. But not judgment, not unkindness. He’d seen enough of the world and its creatures—journeying upon the mainland for two years as an adolescent—to understand what he lacked.

Meteor couldn’t, for the life of him, understand why everyone else had these strange reactions. Shame. Guilt. Affective Empathy. What was the point of these things? They seemed to provide others—like Kole—nothing but distress and actively impede their ability to act in accordance with their wants.

“There’s nobody here but me. No need for embarrassment.” Meteor frowned slightly, but his voice was soft, compassionate. Genuine, too. By Requiem and Vayu, how did others live like that?

“You’re offering loyalty and to fight for me, in exchange for my blood.” As he thought this over, Meteor adjusted his head to rest on the most comfortable place on the coyote’s fur. “I already have that as your pharaoh.” He had already given Kole the ability to live freely as a vampire among cannibals. Clearly, with the amount of trauma Kole carried, that should be enough to keep Kole a loyal Descendant.

“However….” A wide smirk. Meteor’s canine teeth flashed. “I can’t make a final decision until you show me what you mean by stronger when you’re properly sustained.”

Meteor’s golden eyes gleamed. “Feed from me tonight. Then demonstrate what an asset you are.”
