ARMELLE'S EYELIDS FLUTTERED OPEN, the wooden beams that held the roof together greeted her. Along with the burning smell of incense, cinnamon with chamomile. Fresh chamomile. Her neck ached, even now the dull shocks of pain made soft sounds of discomfort leave her. When she attempted to shift her head to the right, she was greeted with a table that held a bowl and a rag, most likely for her wounds. Which reminded her, she had been injured.
Her fingers gently glazed over the linen of the bandages wrapped around her neck. They felt warm with blood and scratchy against the surface of her skin, she couldn't help but slightly pick at it with the tips of her fingernails the action making an uncomfortable hiss leave her at the unpleasant sound that it made. She's startled when the door to the bedroom opens, Taehyung's tall stature revealing itself. He held a small plate with a porcelain teacup in his hands, steam arose from it.
"Ah, you're awake.." He murmured, walking up to the bed to place the tea along the small nightstand. Armelle watched his every movement suspiciously, like a hawk to a mouse. He sat upon the edge of the bed, causing it to dip from his weight as he examined her.
"What happened..?" She spoke, eyeing him curiously as he stared at her expectingly. He must of wanted her to drink the tea he brought, but apart of her didn't trust anything he handed her.
"You passed out. I thought that'd be relatively obvious..."
"Ah.. pardon me. Why.. did that happen..?" Armelle quipped, narrowing her eyes at him when he scoffed at her.
"Your.. body reacted negatively to my bite." There was clearly more to the story, like the part where he had overestimated how much blood could be taken from a human in a short period of time. He lacked the common sense that bloodloss could result in harmful consequences in the human race, but his pride had puffed it's chest and he refuses to admit he made the mistake.
"You've bitten me before, it wouldn't make sense for me to only be effected now..-"
"Well, bloodloss has alot of.. 'worrying' effects upon your species, Armelle. Honestly, it feels like any thing can kill your kind at this point.." Taehyung crossed his arms, averting his eyes from her to showcase his mop of coal hair instead of his face.
"So you took too much blood and caused me to pass out..? I'm surprised you didn't let me die.." Taehyung stood from the bed, his feet taking him to the open window sill, letting the color pallet of the clear skies paint him in chicken-hearted hues that only the rising sun could bring. She didn't even realize it was morning once again, she was passed out all night. Which meant Taehyung was forced to tend to her relentlessly for those eight hours with no hope of her waking up. It made her think, and with the sudden awkward silence between them it gave her time. She stared at his back quizzically, so many questions on the tip of her tongue and he held the answers to them all.
