I appreciate that. [He genuinely did. The last thing he needs is someone being overly friendly and calling him by his first name, reminding him of Tohru all the time.]

[It might be rude, it might not, Natsuno doesn't really know. He's not usually a liar, so he openly answers him.]

I never expected it to be like that. [He frowns.] I guess it's something I didn't understand until I felt the bloodlust. It takes longer...I don't know if it's because I had some before I came, or if it's naturally that way. There isn't anyone I can ask. The other Jinrou didn't tell me much about it, then again...he probably doesn't know. He just goes around drinking people like they're food.

[He hangs his head a little.] Now I've bitten two people. But it can never happen again. Elissa's wrong about that...and Thatch doesn't want me biting anyone either, or I'll be answering to him.
