CHAPTER 8 - PAGE 22
(Transcript and visual captions below}

Tristan forgot for a moment that he kissed another vampire. The taste of salty blood and tears was similar to the odd tastes of humans. A vampire's mouth normally tasted different, at least to his supernaturally adept senses. Usually they were oddly blank, without the strange variety of living creatures. He remembered that this was no human, though, as he touched an icy cold neck, sticky with blood and melting snowflakes. It didn't disgust him, just made him sad and he pulled Jack closer as if it might make either of them feel any less dead.

In which Tristan and Jack conserve water.

The snow kept falling, and maybe this time it was actually going to stick. Tristan and Jack walked back to the hotel, trying to avoid being seen by humans. Jack stepped through the powdery snow in bare feet, and his pale skin was covered in sticky dark blood. Even covered with Tristan's leather jacket he was a ghoulish sight, and Tristan didn't exactly blend in either with a tank top on the coldest day of the year. Humans were easily spotted luckily, trailing a little more heat than normal in the cold weather, and their breath coming out in streams of vapor. The vampires couldn't feel the cold, or at least the hurt of it, but Tristan still kept his arm around Jack and held his white hand which was as cold as the cement under their feet.

     "Where are we going?" Jack asked in a thin voice.
     "To the room."
     "But he was there..."
     "I'm with you, he won't come to get you when someone is around, right?"
     "...But..."
     "Don't worry, I'm strong." Tristan squeezed Jack's shoulder and nodded.
Jack wanted to protest, but couldn't come up with a better plan. Minchin could go anywhere... there wasn't anywhere safe.

In which Tristan and Jack conserve water.

Vampires could take very hot showers, and often did. Tristan was surprised that Jack almost felt alive, as he held him close. His own skin would heat up quickly under the hot water, and holding each other like that seemed to be oddly reminiscent of living days. ...It really had been a long time.

Latelatelate, oh well. I redid this page a bit at the last minute to maximize sex-itude so I hope no one will mind too much. xD This page is so wishful thinking given that it is freakin' August and it's all about hot showers on snowy days. ;_; Go away summer...
