Third Symptom [Backdated to post-Blue conversation] The Face I Wear Behind My Grin

[doctor_creep]

[Prepost/Housemate]: [Now that he'd handled his conversation with his old ally, there was the matter of the package that came in the mail. This one, he notes, is shaped similarly to the first he got - the one that gave him back his scars

[When Silence opens the door to find Nusakan there, he's genuinely surprised, but also quite pleased. It's not often the man pulls himself away from his work to visit others, so it's always rather flattering when he does. He steps back, beckoning the elder mystic into the house with a smile.

Nusakan will doubtless notice that he's not the only one who's looking pale and fanged. Silence has regained his own mystic body.]

[doctor_creep]

[As always, he doesn't try to pretend he isn't pleased to see Silence has regained his mystic body, slipping inside with barely a glance.]

You look well. Very well. [Brushing Silence's bangs out of his face, back behind his ear. For the moment, he's still holding back slightly, offering the bag.] I bought you a gift. It took them some time to get it...

[mute_mystic]

[Silence smiles, leaning into Nusakan's fingers briefly - until the offered gift surprises and distracts him. He takes the bag with a brief, questioning glance at the other man, opening it...

The excited tremor through his wings says as much as the brilliant smile on his face as he pulls out the honey. Oh, yes, he's pleased.]

[doctor_creep]

[His lips twist into a fanged grin at the questioning look, just gesturing for him to open it.

The honey is so dark it's almost black, just barely translucent in its bottle.]

I thought you might like that. [Grin widening, he offers a chuckle.] Do I even have to ask if you'd like to try it now?

[mute_mystic]

[Apparently not, since he didn't even wait for Nusakan's indication to try and open the honey.

However, since he's currently in refined company, he'll actually go and get a spoon to eat it with, rather than lapping it right out of the jar...]

[If anyone wouldn't have minded, it would be Nusakan, though. In fact, he probably would have found it amusing or, at the very least, intriguing.]

It's supposed to have a much more concentrated sweetness, from what I understand. [His words are idly informative, hand closing around the door handle and pulling it shut behind him. After all, his attention is much more drawn to the inevitable reaction.]
