"If blood is what you need,then take it" Jean said,willing to volunteer to give some of her blood to him.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing right now,Jean? You are offering your blood..to a vampire..if you offer it to me,i'll become a monster..i can still age since i haven't consume a single drop of human blood..but if you offer it to me,i cannot turn back.." Diluc stated.

"Doesn't that mean you'll die eventually? You dying is the last thing me and Sir Kaeya would've wanted,Master Diluc. If it means you can survive,i wouldn't mind.." Jean replied softly.

Diluc was silent at her statement as he eventually let go of her and quickly back off and stare at the window that's reflecting the light into the room from the moon outside.

Jean just carefully got up by herself as she looks at him worriedly,"you are still one of us even if it means you can no longer age" she stated.

"So you're willing to see me become a monster for the sake of survival?" Diluc ask,growling silently at her.

"Monster or not,you are still our family,we will continue to love you the way you are" Jean replied as she smiled warmly at him,even though Diluc might not see it,he could feel the smile on her face.

Diluc didn't respond further as Jean summon her sword and gently run her fingertip on her blade slowly which made her flinch lightly as she felt a cut on her finger.

She then de-summon her sword and raise it towards Diluc as fresh blood leaks out from her fingertip.

Diluc didn't even have to look as the strong scent of human blood fills the room for him,especially his nose. Diluc's hands is trembling lightly as well as his breathing became unstable,he panted silently to himself as he tried to resist the urge but Jean knew he won't be able to hold on for long.

Diluc just cover his mouth and nose firmly with his hands,trying his hardest to resist it "c-cut it out,Jean..i don't want it.." he said in a shaky tone but also a calm one.

Eventually,Diluc just let out a low growl before giving in the urges as he rush towards Jean with his inhuman speed to grip onto her shoulders using his humane strength,sinking his fangs into Jean's flesh on her neck. Jean was completely caught off guard by the sudden movement but she tried to remain calm for him.

Diluc just take his time to satisfy his thirst for blood after centuries. After what felt like a few minutes has passed,Diluc gently lick around Jean's neck a bit before pulling away and wiping the blood on his mouth with his wrist.

Jean felt oddly strange when she couldn't feel any pain on the spot Diluc just bit her so she use her hand to feel it just to find out that it has completely healed as if the bite was never there in the first place.

"Is..healing saliva.." Diluc told Jean which made her seem a little relief but also surprised,it was that moment when she realize that Diluc's crimson red eyes has become much brighter,his reptilian black pupils can be perfectly seen rather than before taking his fill. It was completely dull and blurry. But now it feels full of life but also lifeless at the same time.

"Are you satisfied now..that i've became..a monster?" Diluc asked Jean.

Jean shook her head,disagreeing the fact that she like to see him becoming a monster because of her. "you're not a monster,Master Diluc. You're still you." She answered.
