Applying pressure to the wound to stanch the flow of blood, he guided her around to a kitchen drawer. Inside were some medical supplies. He worked quickly and efficiently, applying bacta and bandages to the punctures made by his teeth. A sort of haze had closed over his sight, beginning with his first catching her scent that morning and steadily narrowing his vision as his body digested her blood. Only after he had finished dressing her wounds did he raise his dark eyes, meeting her gaze. Blood was smeared across his mouth, red and shining.
Suddenly self-conscious, he reached up to wipe it off. "
You might feel a little... woozy. But you've been eating, so it might not affect you as much. If you feel tired, that's normal." Turning away to wash his hands, he sighed. "
