"Some of it is I suppose. But blood can taste nice too. You just have the problem slightly with guilt, or at least I do."

She shruddered. "It's a bit necessaryb for use, but man, I hate the way it tastes."

With this Rhythm was confused. "You don't like it?" It seemed incredibly unusual for her to meet someone who didn't.

lake shook her head fevereshly. "Heck no! I hate it, it just seems unnecesary for me even though I need it." she said, contradicting her own words.

"That's odd. I'm so used to being around people that need it to survive... Most of them feel guilty, but only you and one other I know hate it."

She looked at her skeptically. "I have no guilt about it, I just hate it."

"Fair enough," Rhythm said, letting herself free her thoughts finally. "I'm glad, because it's really awkward talking to those who feel guilty. Admittedly sometimes I am one of them, but I find myself trying to guard my words with people who are."

"I simply don't take too much blood, then. I hate how coppery it tastes, since I'm no vamp."

"Well, I guessed that," Rhythm said, smiling. "You can usually tell if people are. And you definitely don't seem like one."
