twenty-three. ✝

[he's still edgy, looking a bit lost as he sits on the spare bed in Riku's shelter. things still aren't alright. he's been hearing her voice in the shadows, and he's had a few more bouts that he had to be shaken out of.

he's staring at the Sphere in an almost desperate kind of way, lower lip caught between his fangs. mumbling under his breath]

[Lyle isn't looking so good anymore either.]

Asher?

[marredgoldfinch]

L-lyle...

[not_that_lockon]

Hey. Hang in there, okay?

[marredgoldfinch]

I'm trying...

[not_that_lockon]

Want to talk? [Smiles slightly] I could use a distraction as well.

[marredgoldfinch]

I wouldn't mind the company.

[offers a touch of a smile himself]

[not_that_lockon]

Right.

So you've got some sort of... what, donor system going on?

[marredgoldfinch]

I do. I was trying to keep it so a person only donated once a week. But Amaterasu ended up donating three times a week, and she has been suffering the consequences.

[not_that_lockon]

[Hesitates for a second.] You need someone else to lend a hand with that?

[marredgoldfinch]

I need more than one someone, but if you're offering, it would be most appreciated.

[not_that_lockon]

I'm offering.

[marredgoldfinch]

Are you certain, Lyle? There's more to my bite then just taking blood.

[not_that_lockon]

Then explain the small print to me before I say yes for certain.

[marredgoldfinch]

My bite is orgasmic.

[says it softly, not quite meeting Lyle's eyes]

[not_that_lockon]

[Raises his eyebrows, not saying anything for a few seconds.]

For serious?

[marredgoldfinch]

While I have a sense of humor, this is no joke.
