[truth be told, he's not looking so good. normally he would have been healed the wounds already. as they were from a supernatural creature... well, it was a different story. there was a gash across his chest, and one on his right leg that looked particularly nasty. his cheek was torn up as well, and he looks... miserable. everything hurt, and it

[Lyle is looking happier than he was, at least. Even if he does look a little tired and there's noticeable bruising around his neck. But right now he just looks worried.]

Asher...?

[marredgoldfinch]

[glances up, noting the bruises and worrying more about those]

Lyle... what happened?

[not_that_lockon]

What? [Oh yeah, every top that he had that would've covered those up is mysteriously AWOL.] Oh, yeah... I just ran into a bit of trouble a few days ago, that's all.

I don't look anywhere near as bad as you.

[marredgoldfinch]

[arches an eyebrow]

It appears someone attempted to strangle you.

[and he's pretending he didn't hear that last bit~]

[not_that_lockon]

That's a fairly good description of what happened.

[marredgoldfinch]

I'm guessing the problem has been... taken care of?

[not_that_lockon]

Yeah, it's over now.

[marredgoldfinch]

I'm glad to hear it.

[not_that_lockon]

What happened to you?

[marredgoldfinch]

Abel and I had a disagreement.

[not_that_lockon]

[He doesn't think he knows that name...]

Some disagreement.

[marredgoldfinch]

I was fortunate enough that he regained his senses before it became something more.

[not_that_lockon]

It sure looks that way...

Do you need any help?

[marredgoldfinch]

Amaterasu insisted she would give me the donation I need to heal these.

[offers him a little smile]

Unless you'd like some company...?

[not_that_lockon]

[Wry grin] You don't always have to take blood from my neck, right?

[marredgoldfinch]

Not always. I can feed from the wrist, even the inner thigh. I just have to be able to reach an artery.
