"Did the similar things happen in the past? You fainting and all?"
"Not that I know of." Arthur smiled a bit; he felt he was doing a good job as a patient. Their conversation sounded exactly like in his favourite dramas.
"Do you have any health issues?"
"None"
Jones contemplated something for a moment. Arthur eyed the stethoscope in meantime. It was pretty. Shiny. Silver. He was eager to start the real examination. Pity they were in some messy room, not a sterile hospital space. "Maybe it's only the fatigue?" Alfred was thinking aloud "Did you eat your breakfast, Arthur?"
"Yeah, I eat it every evening"
There was a short laugh "Oh right, you are nocturnal"
Arthur nodded
"Okay, so what did you eat yesterday?"
"Some cereals."
"Aaaand?"
"Cup noodles. Around midnight"
Alfred looked at the vampier disapprovingly "That's not enough. You need nutritions."
Arthur shrugged. It would prove more interesting, if Jones finally switched to the medical talk rather then imitated his mother. He held similar conversations with her over the phone every week. It ruined the mood.
"What about blood?" the other asked with a tone of professional staff. That was more like it. "Vampires drink that, don't they?"
Arthur was unsure what to answer. Would his host be biased if he admitted. He knew how writers depicted their feeding pattern, it was either nearly sexual act or some gore ritual. In reality it was neither, most of the blood nowadays would come from transfusion packs. You could choose the flavour. Seeing the apparent confusion of his patient, Alfred put a hand on his shoulder. "No worries." His tone calm and caring, the one usually used with kids admitted to the hospital. "I need to know so I'll be able to figure out if you're sick."
Arthur was still uncertain when he looked at the other. "We drink blood, but it's not how you think. We just need a bit every few weeks. And we don't pray on people, really, the blood normally comes from donations."
"I see." Jones pondered; rubbing the space on the nose, under the glasses. "So when did you drink blood last time?"
"Not that I know of." Arthur smiled a bit; he felt he was doing a good job as a patient. Their conversation sounded exactly like in his favourite dramas.
