[ Congregation of blood-drinkers? Oh! Those entities.
Being one of the Meridian-aligned who still routinely enters ( and passes through ) Highstorm, despite the rising arrogance he finds in the citizens when they interact with him, he has plenty of knowledge about the surface culture, and some knowledge of the sub-cultures within. Liem's father is a vampire, vampires — he now assumes, require blood as their main source of food. The blood-drinkers of Highstorm, are vampires. Ones very much unlike Liem, who abstains from such things? How curious. ]
Uaa.
[ The sound he makes is one of wonder. A man who has just been exposed to something wholeheartedly new and who finds distinct delight in it. Set is a hedonist by make and nature, and information is something he also immerses himself in, as readily as the heat of a body or the long pull of alcohol from a bottle. The information about the extent of Yima's ability, he also carries with him now; perhaps, she might not be able to pull his child from the darkness, for Anubis had become — Anubis had been forced to become —
He forces himself not to think on that, with his host standing right before him.
Set is a man of easy contradictions. One who is revolted by physical contact, but one who initiates it without heed of others' propriety; it it, in fact, more of a dominance thing than a necessity, that he is the one to control movement and contact, before anyone else tries to dominate over him. So, as he take a hand from the embroidery of the pillow, it is only to rest it — harsh-fingered, to the sleeve of Liem's shirt. ]
Then. Your ailment could be resolved, were you to balance your diet?
[ There is more nuance to the question than Liem might realize.
It means something to him, too. Not just that Liem has shared it, but that — perhaps their experiences are similar. ]
Are you in pain now? Do you not have someone you trust to aid you?
