[...Nagiri stops, eyes widening. Shit. That's right, why didn't he realize it before? People would see him outside, and with this body, he wouldn't be able to run away fast enough. They'd call a Hunter, and Nagiri would be brought back here into the backrooms where they'd keep him better restrained, or he'd be taken down to the Vampire Research Center, where they'd discover who he was and their scientists would cut him into pieces, unless he was lucky enough that his fated executioner would find him first, killing him instantly...
Nagiri draws one blood blade back into his body and punches the wall, letting out something that sounds vaguely like a breathless swear. Why is dying instantly the best-case scenario here?! Is that the only way out?! No, there has to be a way to survive!
If he was at the height of his power, this would be no problem at all... Even without legs, his invulnerability and power would let him slaughter his way through this whole damn aquarium. Scientists, Hunters, by-standers, even this cat! And he wouldn't feel a thing! But now... he's this pathetic...?
No, he's still Tsujigiri Nagiri! Even weakened, even if he's a fish, he's the most feared vampire in the world, right?! All he needs is blood! Just enough that he can cut through all the walls in his way and escape into the sewers or something...
...He glances at the cat, considering. Weighing the amount of blood against the effort it'd take, including that spine-crawling feeling he gets... No, he doesn't know what the cat can do. A small body like that barely has enough blood to make it worth it.
Nagiri slides down to sit on his tail, running the bladeless hand over his forehead with a groan that sounds more like choking.]
Shit... If I just had more blood... [He mutters to himself.]
