"I...think so? I don't feel like I'm going utterly insane, at least."

"No, at least, not anymore, from what I can tell. Physically, too?"

"Good." She sat up. "How'd you know biting was the cure?"

2015-07-12 07:28:31

"I guess you bit Cale, but he didn't say anything until both he and Ivory bit Zane. When Ivory bit him, he got better."

2015-07-12 07:34:18

●

"Wait...Ivory bit him? The really short goth chick that is always with Lance?"

"I thought she was your sewing buddy. Yeah, her. I guess it was her first or something? Can't imagine how that worked. He must've been lying down or something."

2015-07-12 07:38:03

●

"That is the only way I could think of. Otherwise I'm assuming he would be carrying her like an infant."

He snickered a little at the image. "I bet. I think there's something going on there, I saw them at Walgreen's. But anyway. You guys didn't break anything besides Cale and Dameien while you were gone, right?"

●

"Oh really? Huh. Never would of though. No... I don't think so. That was it? I believe."

2015-07-12 07:47:41

🌀

"Okay. Good. ...so you just spent all your time in the apartment? Doing what?"

2015-07-12 07:49:16

●

Uh....haha, about that. "Nothing too important, really. Just babbling on about how we were going to die as we slowly went insane."

2015-07-12 07:50:09

"...oh." Wow. For four days straight? That totally wasn't mentally scarring or anything. "Speaking of which, he didn't try to jump off any more buildings in the process, did he?" ...hey, he could be a little concerned sometimes.

2015-07-12 07:59:01

●

"No. Well...he did try to show me 'how fun' cutting was? But that was when we were both so insane I would of believed him if he told me he was the president of the united states."

2015-07-12 08:00:09

🌀

Holy shit. He tried to change the subject with a joke. "Yeah, there are a lot of problems with that, least of which his lack of American citizenship." Come to think of it, that might be an actual issue at some point. Dammit, he'd cut himself again. Did he need more stitches?

2015-07-12 08:08:08

"Well he could bullshit everything like I did and make the government believe his great great great grandparent looks strangely like him and came from another country."

2015-07-12 08:09:24

"He's a terrible liar. They'd never believe him, even if he did have any idea what his grandparents looked like." He scooted over on the bed and lay down next to her, on top of the covers, still holding her hand.

2015-07-12 08:12:58

●

"Guess I have to teach him how to lie then." She looked down at his hand for a moment before giving it a gentle squeeze. "Sorry for uh...lying...about all this, by the way."

2015-07-12 08:16:39

🌀

"....and I'm sorry for yelling so much. But please. Next time? Just tell me," he said quietly.

2015-07-12 08:24:02

●

"I will. I guess it turns out I needed your help more than I was willing to accept."

2015-07-12 08:26:08

🌀

He went silent and stared at her for a second. Wait. Was she serious? Internally, he was jumping up and down like a kid who just got a BB gun for Christmas. This was /so/ going to end with him shooting his own eye out. "...really? I mean, yeah, you did, but...you're actually going to let me now?"

2015-07-12 08:34:29

●

"I'll try? I can't make any promises but...I guess I need to? I don't want a repeat of this again but instead next time I don't come back."

2015-07-12 08:36:01

🌀

"No one does. Just, if you consciously make an effort, that's enough."

2015-07-12 08:40:23

●

"Are you sure? I mean I've fucked up /a lot/." A lot more than he knows right now.

2015-07-12 08:42:49

"Let's just start over. We'll get rid of the hunters together and everything will be more okay again." Only more so. Not entirely, that was asking too much.

2015-07-12 08:51:52

●

"Funny thing is...I didn't see the hunters after I was bitten? Not even the one that got kicked out."
