It's difficult. The craving for blood never really goes away, it's um. It's why I drink so much tea.
[As if finally remembering his cup, he takes a sip.]
Caffeine usually works well enough, but when even that fails me, there were places I could get animal blood. I didn't have to deal with this yet, but Salvatore had to move from town to town pretty often. People would get too suspicious if he stayed, and it was hard to make friends for that reason.
[Alesci was lucky so far - he'd only been a vampire for two years, and his family was well-aware of the situation. Salvatore wasn't.]
But the hardest part for me, is that drinking blood goes against my religion. God's made allowances, because He has to, but it's like... it's been ingrained in me.
