[ this already seems dangerous but he tries to keep casual, ]

And what would that be?

I enjoy the person you are now more than that man. Minus the twisted mess that is your soul, but that is not all your doing.

I respect him, truly. Admire the dedication he has. See him as something aspiring to be.

But it just wasn't quite right.

[ ... a pause, surprised, taking a moment to consider how to reply; ]

You don't seem terribly fond of the naive.

That is part, but not the whole. And I still like him better than most. He, or rather you, didn't see yourself as part of the whole. Above it, not ruthlessly, but outside for sure. Protective. Caring.

[Bringing his thumbs to the sides of his neck pressing at the muscle there.]

They should have taken care of you as much as you took care of them, though I doubt you would have accepted it. I do hope that has changed now.

[ his lips do quirk at that, even as he tilts his head back further, almost looking straight up at him. ]

I hardly need to be "taken care of". Yet you seem so insistent upon it.

And you enjoy it more often than not.

[Tapping his nose.]

And you do. Not for lack of ability or skill to sustain yourself, but simply because it enriches your life. And living is to be shared after all.

Would you call my current state of being "living"?

[ he's mostly being pedantic, he realizes, but. ]

Of course. Do you not enjoy Ruby's company? Mine? And I even sense a soft spot for Kohime. I imagine that is extended to the rest of the unit in some manner.

Unfortunately, my heart is calloused and unfeeling!

[ over-dramatic -- bluster because it's obviously very difficult for him to directly admit he cares about them. ]

[He laughs putting pressure on the sides of his neck with his thumbs as he tries to massage his neck muscles.]

We are alone. You can say it. Though I suppose it could end up on camera.

[ he rolls his shoulders ]

You'll let me keep some secrets, hmm?

I don't let you do anything, Absinthe. You are in control of your own whim and desires and who to share them with. I'm simply here to provide you both a comforting here and an interesting distraction.

[Pushing the hair aside so he can kiss his neck.

And then sink his fangs into it.]

[ oh right. he had almost forgotten about the vampire thing.

he hisses but it's mostly due to the surprise; and the ichor is blood of a sort but it's unusually thick, and tastes very much -- wrong, rotten. ]

-- Now that is a distraction.

[It is gross, but then again that is what he expected. He probably makes a face even as he licks the wound.]

I thought you might like it.

I don't mind it. But do you enjoy the taste?

Not really.

[Thumbing over the marks.]

'Twas meant to excite you.

Well, I am not objecting.

[ in fact -- tips his head a bit more. ]

If you insist.

[He's going to take that as an invitation to grab hold of his hair. He doesn't pull, but he holds it taut enough so he can't move his head back.

And he bites down again.]

[ there's a low hiss but it's not entirely one if discomfort -- it's a peculiar sensation, one he's not actually used to but the uniqueness of it does add to his enjoyment. he tugs his fingertips through his hair, the rest of his body seeming to melt towards him, seeking what warmth he can provide. ]

I am touched ... that you thought of me.

[He hums against his skin and continues to drink. It's vile. It's really gross, but the point is to make him slightly light headed. Which is what he is trying to do.

And he does lean up against him to provide whatever body warmth this affliction may provide if any at all.]

[ there honestly isn't much considering Emet-Selch's state, but the thought is appreciated!

there's a pleased sound like a hum under his breath; he's not a masochist per se but there's something about the sensation he enjoys, combined with the fact he knows the Ascian can't really enjoy the taste. he is getting more and more relaxed. ]

I almost worry ... You'll find yourself sick after this.

[He pulls back and licks the mark when he's done.]

Then consider it an experiment. Ever do we enjoy answering such questions. And it hasn't made you sick yet, unless I'm about to hear some new information.

It has not! I am a tad light-headed, but, well, that is a sacrifice I will take.

[ and it's not a bad sensation per se -- similar to the tipsiness when he's lightly drunk. ]

[Running a finger along the shell of his ear.]

Oh? Are you embarrassed that you enjoy it? I was wondering if you also enjoyed being on the receiving end of sadism.

[ he chuckles - - ]

Embarrassed? Oh, no. It is simply not a side of you I see often.
