just like that, she reaches out, takes the offering, tips back her head and drinks it down. there's the immediate grimace at the idea of what she's doing almost before the stuff's even in her mouth, but down it goes all the same.
perhaps drinking the blood she's been offered shouldn't be the immediate response to what's happening here. isn't infection passed in blood? doesn't blood work most of the magical transformations in the darker fairytales?
but Caroline has been trying to help. she trusts her enough not to think it a trick, not to overthink it. so, for the both of them, the blood goes swallowed. ]
