"Nay. The sharing of vampiric blood, while uncommon, isn't harmful to any parties involved. But it's not commonplace. There a very few ''acceptable' scenarios. The primary one being to curb a newborn vampire's hunger, so they don't go around killing everything in their line of sight.It's also to establish their strength- there's a reason most newborn vampire are, typically, just as strong as or slightly stronger/weaker than the one who turned them. There's a lot to it, but think of it like an accumulation of toxins- the bird gets the toxins from the mouse and the grass, the mouse gets the toxins of the grass. The strength builds from vampire to vampire when they share their blood...but after that initial feeding, they typically switch to human blood in various forms. Another is between two vampires in a relationship- to some, it's considered the ultimate form of trust."
He then gave her a serious gaze. " But while you have informed me you're a quick study, you must understand. You may grasps our rules and customs easily enough- but the instincts are unlike that of anything you've experienced before. You mentioned you don't think that, even if you had wanted to, you would have been able to stop yourself earlier, yes? Well, that was only one part of the feeding instinct0- starvation. You're throat feels like you've been stranded in the dessert without water for far too long. Other parts include the thrill of the hunt- naturally, we are predators. The apex. So we desire to hunt. Then of course there's the sensation of feeding. To some, it can be euphoric. Of course, there's a multitude of factors- but these are just a few. You will also have to learn to control your eyes- the display of your fangs. Let us not forget one other important issue- until you discover it yourself, there's no telling what your ability will be. Every vampire has at least one. Some have two, especially if they're more of the pureblooded variety. But when you discover it, you will have to learn to control it as well- if it's a type that can be controlled."
his gaze wavered, and he looked down at the floor. " Though...there is something I must confess to you."
