[ Her brow furrows as he goes on about the men who died, and she straightens back up with a shake of her head. Only then he draws close, and she can still taste it, like buttered copper, while her gaze drifts to his neck. Rinsing her mouth of the taste had done little to ebb the desire... The disgust at her desire.
The poor man must think this her first kill. If only he knew the number of bodies she has walked over to be standing here still. She tears her eyes from him and pointedly steps away, enforcing distance for his own good. To have been so triggered by the bloodlust may endanger anyone in her vicinity. So many are dead because of her, but she will never be glad for it.

Vanessa has gone this long without giving in to the urge to drink, and she can continue on as such. At least this much she will not concede, even if Dracula is nowhere to benefit. No matter if it weakens her, she's still stronger than the average human. Best that he remains ignorant just as the rest of their company. ]
