Your eyes open slowly to Nikolai's face close to yours as he stands beside your bed, as if he's watching you sleep. The moment his eyes widen, he pulls away laughing at you.

"Good morning!" He says in a too cheerful voice for this time of day. "I brought your food!" Nikolai continues to smile as he points to his neck. A strange act on his part, normally the two of you would put off blood drinking day as long as possible.
