My anger don't make sense half the time, so don't take it personally.
[ He feels he has to add—it's a well-known fact that Leonard responds to most things with anger. The vampires in the castle mostly know this, but the novices have to figure it out for themselves.
But the fact is that this is easily the most stressful month Bones has had to deal with in a while. And being charged with leading the infirmary certainly has made him more irritable. He loves his work, loves saving lives... he just yells about it because that's who he is.
And because usually, it saves lives too. He waves a hand setting down the empty syringe and grabbing a new one. ]
Clear as crystal. I still want you helpin', Lords know we need the help, just stick with me and do as I say, alright? Think of this as extra credit. There's no better teacher than experience, and right now I'm getting outshone by the disaster this castle's in.
[ He stabs the guy with the new syringe without much preamble. Without even looking—he could probably do it with his eyes closed. ]
Now, here's a lesson—with humans, you gotta be careful about where you poke 'em, because their vascular systems are real complex. But vampires are blood-based creatures. Digestive system and all that's mostly set dressing, so you can stab' em just about anywhere with medicine and the body scoops that up right quick. The body's so desperate for blood, as long as you get medicine into their bloodstream, their bodies will soak it right up and send it everywhere. Takes a stronger needle than what we use on humans, too.
