❛ geoffrey… i may not be capable of experiencing death anymore, and i know it may be hard to imagine someone of my ilk feeling more that the desire to feast on those with a pulse… but. ❜ the desire had died and now he sought for the comfort of geoffrey, his hand pressed against his own chest, so he could feel his beating heart. there was no other way of showing, if not ripping his heart out to show mccullum that he too feels and is moved by feelings. coming into his own as an ekon, he had learned where his feelings had locked themselves away while he learned to navigate his new body. he had found them so intimately when looking into the eyes of one who once wanted nothing but his death. there had to be something more to the desires he felt, something besides the need to feed. he felt it stirring inside him like a storm unrested.
