That'd be enough to do it.

[The tea looks to be finished being poured, even if it still needs to steep for a little while, and he moves carefully as he carries the cup of hot water over to the table.]

Is there anything else you can remember about it, or perhaps guess? Sometimes you can get a train going; I mean, it's stressful, but you can learn a lot if you keep it going long enough.

[Stefan raises both of his eyebrows this time, even as he relaxes his guard. From what he's gathered of his past life, Stefan whatshisname was a character - and he's not certain he's ready for whatever may come next.]

It was... sometime in 2009? He fed on a girl because he was weak and got "hungry," and it took him a while to regain control over himself because human blood does a number on his system. [Kind of like an addict, if Stefan were honest.]

Pretty sure this means I'm feasting on chipmunks and deer for the next century.

[Lazarus seems surprised that Stefan remembers a year, but there have certainly been stranger things brought and returned by echoes, which seem to disregard timelines with respect to the current date and all the Reincarnates' ages.]

A number on his system, is it? You make it sound like an addiction.

[A dark laugh; Lazarus isn't a mindreader, but he is an addict, actually, and that's naturally the first thing his mind springs to.]

Is that possible? I mean... will animals sustain you? If so, it seems like you're problem is largely solved.

It's a weird addiction, if it were one. Kinda like you or me being addicted to oxygen... [If it is an addiction, Stefan pities himself - his other? Vampires need blood to survive. It's not as if they have a choice in the matter.]

I think so, yeah. I'm not thrilled about hunting animals, but it seemed to work okay for him.

[Lazarus snorts gracelessly.]

I promise you that an addiction feels every bit as vital. The question is whether or not it is, and when you're quitting anything, reminding yourself what's necessary and what's not is pretty important. But that's somewhat... beside the point.

[His own experience quitting heroin might or might not really be applicable here; if it is, he'll trust that he'll receive signs and signals indicating as much. Otherwise, he's content to let it rest.]

There's another arena Shou could help you. Tony, as well, if you'd permit it. Not that I want to speak for them, but it's worth asking.
