More the latter. Food will become completely unpalatable and make you sick, and once your body changes fully you'll more or less enjoy the taste of blood, though it might take some getting used to.
[ but he drinks wine and coffee and stuff without getting sick, what gives-- ]
My ability to drink and eat is unique to me, unfortunately. Still, I get no sustenance from it, so I stick with wine because I like it.
[ he chokes on a laugh, but it's a good question. ]
You'll feel some effect from it, naturally, but it won't be as strong as being able to drink naturally. I will say you can add blood to alcohol and drink it like that, but it may still make you sick.
[That's still an enormous shift in power from what she had, but she feels something in her stomach sink in disappointment nevertheless. It doesn't matter, not really, but--
It would have been nice, to hear Robert's voice again.
At least what he says next is interesting. Without a moment of hesitation she reaches over, prodding him with one finger.]
You seem solid enough. Though I suppose it would be fairly useless if you couldn't be that.
[There's more questions she wants to ask. A thousand more, honestly. But she's so exhausted right now, and the prospect seems tiring. She sighs softly, turning back to face front.]
[ he thinks about this for a moment, trying to look back at it objectively. the major didn't beat him: the major cheated, and just slowed him down. finally, he answers. ]
A mix of both with a smattering of luck, I'm sure. I lived as a warrior, after all, and in my earlier years I continued to act as such. Later, I just... grew stronger. Now, I'm the strongest I've ever been. Aside from the seals.

An answer was all that was necessary, thank you. I'll experiment on my own time, then.
[At least if she vomits from it no one has to know. Rosalind sighs sharply, her fingers curling against the half-wall she's leaning lightly against.]
Are there any other sexual clauses I ought to know about? Am I going to be a virgin again, that seems about the frequency this all works upon.

still, he smiles faintly until her question, then he crosses his arms over his chest. ]
I know you're being sarcastic with that, but no. This method circumvents the clause entirely.

[A beat.]
Will I be able to shapeshift as you do?
no subject
[ he considers the question. ]
Not to my extent, no. Bats, a mist, dogs, so on, the cliches, yes. They're cliches for a reason. I'm...
[ a pause. ]
I'm not exactly... solid. Anymore. More a malleable mass of being. It's why I can shapeshift as much as I do.

I'd like to spar you, once I turn.

Realistically my body is human right now, but yes, while I'm a shapeshifting eldritch mass at heart, when I transform I can make myself solid again.
[ what she says next surprises him but he nods, not thinking twice about it. ]
Of course. I'd be more than happy to.
no subject
[Not that she thinks she will regardless. She's still such a novice at fighting, never mind all her new powers and body.]
no subject
Never. Not since I became a vampire.

[Another thought pops into her mind, and it's honestly a relief. Anything is better than her usual thoughts.]
Will I still be able to work on them as a vampire? Or will they hurt me too?
