( Nnh. He takes it like a scolding, so he isn't totally keen to defend himself, but - there is one thing that makes him shake his head. )

... You already promised your blood to Malice. ( He says this with some frustration. ) Do you really think... you could get by giving blood to both of us? You'd die. One of us could kill you on accident, even if we don't take much.

( He's not going to say this was his primary excuse for not talking to Tatara - the primary excuse is shame. But he also got the sense that someone who so casually offered his blood to another vampire as his sole food source might willingly offer it to another without thinking twice if it could be fatal to him, and give Tatara willingly offered his neck to Mika while he was in that frenzy, of all times - he doesn't think his assumption is incorrect. )

What would happen then? If you died just from trying to be "nice"? If you really care about everyone here... you need to think about yourself more.
