[Max works to keep his breathing steady. But the moment Astarion lowers fangs to his wrist, his pulse kicks up a few beats. It’s not fear if the flush in Max’s skin is any indication.
A soft exhalation is all the reaction Max has to the pain of the puncture. Even that doesn't sound entirely pained. The sensation of cold is new and interesting, he has to admit. It would be fun to simply let the numbing peaceful calm that follows take him over. But he quickly shakes his head to shake that idea way. He needs to be paying attention to Astarion.
The vampire spawn is doing a pretty good job, Max thinks with a note of pride. He's obviously enjoying this new pleasure of blood, and Max can't fault him, but so far he has stayed steady. Max will let him go just a little longer until the telltale lightheadedness starts. Now, the real test.]

Okay, time to let up.
