[X] Stay silent.

---

"I haven't had any for a long time~" whispers the vampire. For a moment, her eyes turn glassy, as if remembering something pleasant. She starts giggling to herself, and then she gives him an almost gentle smile, with just a hint of mischief.

"..."

"Oh, don't be so nervous," she says. "It's not like I'm going to eat you or anything like that."

Without warning, Remilia vanishes from sight. Grimnír blinks stupidly for a moment, mouthing the word "huh" silently. Then, he hears someone breathing directly behind him.

"Unless you want me to~" she whispers.

"..."

Before he can turn around, the vampire grabs him by the shoulders and forces him to face forward. He struggles reflexively against the girl's hands, but to no avail. Her physical strength is definitely beyond that of a normal human. This young and beautiful girl must really be a vampire.

"Don't turn around or I will break your neck," says Remilia firmly.

Grimnír barely manages to stifle a gasp. Slowly and carefully, he nods his head to show that he understands.

"That's better," says the vampire.

She starts to loosen her grip on his shoulders, one finger at a time. Then, he feels her let go of him completely. He sighs silently in relief.

"Now take a seat over there," says Remilia. "You are too tall for me when standing."

"..."

Grimnír reluctantly obeys, taking his seat at the table once more. Just as ordered, he takes care not to turn around. He isn't in the position to refuse her, and he doesn't really feel like risking death. Yukari did say that he would have no chance against this vampire or her sister.

"Very good," she says. "Now stay very still."

"..."

He can hear her tiny footsteps as she walks closer behind him. In a few more seconds, he can feel her small hands gently stroke his shoulders and neck. She seems to be feeling around for something. Is she looking for a vein?

Before he can ask, he suddenly feels the vampire breathing heavily over the back of his neck. Remilia starts panting quietly, as if aroused. Or is she just famished? He can't tell which as he waits for her to act, frozen in place by both fear and anticipation. A faint, sweet aroma wafts into his nostrils from the girl, filling both his body and mind with wild excitement.

"Maybe... just a little..." whispers the vampire.

Suddenly, he feels her press her lips against his neck. He closes his eyes tightly as he awaits the sensation of her fangs against his skin. This must be the exchange that she meant. Blood for blood - a rather fair trade, actually. But as a minute passes, he realizes that she hasn't bit him. Slowly, he opens his eyes. Then, the girl pulls away from him softly, as if ending a kiss.

"Alright, this is enough," says Remilia.

The vampire calmly walks across the table back to her seat, as if nothing happened. She gives him a polite, business-like smile as she takes her teacup. After a sip and a biscuit, she turns to him.

"I need something from you," she says. "Rather, I need something you know. Understand that no harm will come to you if you cooperate."

"..."

"Now please," whispers Remilia. "Tell me everything you know about that human in the Forest."
