[even though he's on the ship and doesn't require daily feeding... well, the poor vampire needs to eat eventually. he's been cooped up in his room, venturing out only to the shops to fetch more paint supplies and the occasional book. he's been ignoring the madness on the network, though his Sphere is still on, a blood red rose. anyone who catches

Did you paint those?

[marredgoldfinch]

[he looks up, startled that someone is actually paying attention to him]

I did.

[codenamefire]

Your work is amazing.

[marredgoldfinch]

Thank you, miss.

[celestial_okami]

[She whuffs when she spots the painting of her, her tail wagging. The scroll with her own watercolors is laid out at her knees, the portrait of Asher near Axel, Riku and Abel.]

[marredgoldfinch]

[he hears that whuff and he looks up with a smile]

You painted me as well, Ammy?

[celestial_okami]

Mm. [Nods, tail wagging.] I painted all my friends.

Your paintings are very nice, Asher.

[marredgoldfinch]

Thank you, Ammy.

It has been a great comfort to have these paintings with me.

[hellcommander]

Your paintings are good, but you.... You look like shit. Keke.

[marredgoldfinch]

How kind of you, stranger.

[hellcommander]

You're welcome! Kekeke!!

[marredgoldfinch]

Do you have a name?

[foxwhiskers]

WOW! Cool paintings!!

[grin fades when he saw how Asher looks like] You don't look so good, Asher... Can I do something to help??

[marredgoldfinch]

Thank you.

[absent tone, then he looks up and smiles a little]

M'fine.

[clue number six zillion -- he's not speaking properly]

[foxwhiskers]

[even if it was clue number six zillion, Naruto didn't notice it that much] You sure?! You look like you haven't eaten for a month!!

[scrutinizing look] Hmm... you're a very bad liar, you know!

[dawnward]

[if Riku couldn't already see Team Beta people, the paintings would've shown Asher to him.

as it is, he's frowning faintly]

Asher, when was the last time you fed?

[marredgoldfinch]

[looks up, blinking hazily]

Fed? A few weeks ago, I believe.

[lol, more like over a month]

[dawnward]

...is there anyone available to help you right now?

Naruto is offering, but he is fresh to the ship again, and doesn't remember me. I do not wish to inflict my bite upon him again.
