[Wait, she could have gotten away with never explaining? Damn her and keeping her promises! Well, what Samantha didn't know...

Would lead to all manner of embarrassment today.]

I don't. [ahem] It's just a little uncomfortable. A succubus is a demon, a kind of monster or spirit in my world, that leads people to have sex with it and feeds off their life force before it sends them to hell usually.

[She coughed and glanced away. Please don't make her explain what sex is, Hibiki.] Cambions are half succubi or half incubi. We don't really send people to hell, but along with food we feed on energy when we have sex.

[It's okay, Hibiki herself will be quite embarrassed by the end of it, too. Although she initially settles down with an expectant look on her face, it doesn't take long for her cheeks to flush.

Oh.

Oh.]

W-wai--

It's during--

[But--]

Wh-why...?

[Yep, she was expecting blushing. Ok, that was a sign that she didn't have to tell her what sex meant for her at least. She reached up and ran her fingers through her hair.]

I had a couple people back home looking into the actual biology. We didn't get far, and I don't like demonstrating. I hate having people watch me eat. I think, basically, my body uses the energy it takes from someone to help break down the food really well, so I can live off less.

But, if I don't feed that way I kind of start to starve and go nuts. Have you ever seen sharks go into a frenzy when there's blood in the water? It's like that, only with sex, and I lose any effort to be careful not to take too much.

[No she certainly has not seen that before, but she can get a vague idea of it at least.]

S-so... when you do it, you-- um...

[She can't even stammer the words out. She should probably find it frightening, but... really, she's just embarrassed.]

[She coughed and nodded.]

I kiss them when they ... uhhh, when when they hit their peak, and I take a little from them. I always make sure they know before, but that's kind of what sex is like with me.

But I don't like to take too much, so it's hard to just feed from one person.

[She tries to pay attention. She really, really does. But her face feels like it's burning up, and it's a little distracting.]

S-so, um... Do you... still have to do that here, or...?

Depends on your definition of need. [She's trying not to chuckle at that look Hibiki is giving her. She really is.] I won't die if I don't, and I won't go crazy. Loki put runes onto my spine, under the skin. They burn off the hormones that set me off. It happens about once every lunar cycle, when they've built up enough to cause a problem.

But... it's still an instinct. My body still craves it, and if I do that more often, the pain's less when it burns things off since there's less there to burn.

So, not need... but I definitely have an urge.

[She's trying to get a handle on it, but it's hard to stop blushing through willpower alone.]

Then...

It... still feels bad? [Just. Taking this very slowly.]

What, the runes when they burn off the hormones? It feels like my whole body is on fire and someone's tearing out my spine. It just feels like I'm being cooked if I'm having sex regularly.

The urges don't feel bad, but they're not exactly comfortable for me sometimes. It's not easy having a conversation with someone when part of you is looking at them like a steak.

Th-th-that's terrible!

[She doesn't even want to imagine what that feels like.]

Is it... really the only solution? There's no other way to fix it...?

There's nothing to fix, Hibiki. [She smiled at her and shook her head.] I'm a predator who feeds on sex. It's what I was like when I was born, and I've always been that. The only thing to 'fix' was figuring out how to live with people and not treat them as food.

[Her grin took on a wicked look for a second and that wretched sense of humor of hers reared its ugly head once more.] Hey, think of it this way! At least I don't like veal?

[Sam...]

...I-is there something wrong with veal?

[Derp. It's just a type of meat, isn't it...?]

I just... It feels unfair. That you have to hurt so much to make sure everyone else is safe, too.

... it was a joke. If people are steaks to me, then veal would be...

[She snickered again. She wasn't going to fill the blanks in on a horribly inappropriate joke, especially since she'd made one glaring exception with an alien for the last year.]

And maybe it is unfair, but it's better than going into a feeding frenzy. And, besides, if I have sex often enough it isn't that bad.

Veal would be...?

[Though she's quickly distracted by the mention of sex again, her head dipping down with embarrassment. Ahhh, it's so awkward...]

Th-then I'm glad...?

heh, don't worry about it. It's just a bad joke, I promise. And thank you. It'll be alright. It's just something I have to deal with. You don't really need to worry about it, you know.

Still...

[She's a big sister at home; fretting over people is a habit she's developed in full force.]

...If there's anything I can do to help, even if it's just... just talking for a distraction or something, please let me know.

Distractions don't really help, Hibiki. Honestly there's only one kind of help that I need for this. [Swallow] You're a little young for my tastes, no offense.

[She honestly kind of expected as much, but let it never be said she didn't try.]

...It was sort of a long shot, wasn't it...

A little. It's kind of like trying to play with a dog when the food's ready and they're hungry. And I honestly didn't think you were offering that, so... just a little bit.

...Ah.

[Yeah, she has enough pets to know about how well that goes, even if none of them are actually dogs...]

It just... totally doesn't work at all, huh?

[Welp.]

It's not that big a deal most of the time. And if it is... then I want one thing. Talking's just going to get on my nerves or make me want it more.

So... if you are like that, I shouldn't talk to you.

[Oops.]

It's not that bad, but you won't be helping that thing. Just don't try to talk me out of it. If I say I need that, then that's what I'm going to want, ok?

[Determined nodding!]

O-okay! I'll be sure to remember!

hehe, did you still have any other questions?
