Felix's face turned white. It had already been pale to begin with, from the fright and then Agnes taking his blood. But now, upon the realization, it became even paler, until it seemed whiter than the snow outside the window.
His neck was itchy.
Exactly how it frequently itched for the past year.
The itching that allegedly had no medical or magical cause, and was just a nervous reaction.
A nervous reaction that Felix had only developed after moving into Silverfall.
He had some suspicions before, but…
Agnes finished transferring the blood into vials and corking them up, and turned her eyes back to Felix. "Do you feel unwell?" she asked, seeing his pale face. "Did I take too much blood?"
"It's… It's nothing. I'm fine," Felix shook his head lightly. He did feel dizzy… But not so much from the blood loss, rather from the realization that he had just come to.
