[Jasper woke up this evening knowing that this was a problem he could no longer ignore. The Beast was twisting inside him, snarling and snapping, driving him toward the blood it imagined it could smell. He considers himself lucky that Matthew and Dorian don't live in the castle, because the smell of vitae nearby might have been too much.]
[For a long moment, there's just the sound of soft growling. Jasper keeps inhaling and then exhaling as he realizes he doesn't know how to put this in a way that his pride will survive. He and Matthew didn't get off on a great foot. But for better or worse, Jasper's elected to treat him like the local baron, with a barony of three whole Kindred. It's not so shameful to make a request of one's baron. He's also the one who promised not to let Jasper starve.]
I need...
[A growl as the Beast writhes and roars, and Jasper has to beat it back.] I need to eat.
I tried the brothel. Sort of. [He went in and went into a room with a girl, but she was far too human for Jasper to fool himself that it was okay. That leaves him dependent on Matthew.]
voice; i know i said i was waiting but i got impatient
