Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

[Relaxing? Debatable. Resting, yes, reluctantly so.

Sebastian gets dizzy if he's too upright, but he at least scoots up to a half-sitting position.]

Hello, Sir. You truly need not worry.

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

Too late for that.

[he gestures for Sebastian to sit back down, coming over to sit next to him]

Hakkai's been here?

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

[Sebastian obediently does just that.]

Of course. [There are days when Sebastian wants to strangle Hakkai, but he'd never claim he's not an attentive warden.] He already healed the majority of my injuries, but his abilities are not effective against venom and blood loss.

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

Yeah. You should be getting looked at by someone with infirmary skills. Maybe get...fuck, what did Dracula call it..Blood transfusion.

What the hell bit you?

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

No, thank you. I will be fine with some rest. [Minor injuries, like that one time a monster chewed off Sebastian's hand in front of Trevor, or that time Trevor's holy weapon caused the flesh on Sebastian's hand to melt? He's fine with the infirmary staff seeing to. When he's actually not feeling well? He only trusts Hakkai.]

...Mm. If I tell you, please take it not badly?

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

Sure. Was it my fucking vampire asshole self?

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

Ah. [So he is aware of that.]

Yes, it was. Please rest assured I do not blame you, Sir, should that be a concern.

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

[he sighs, leaning his head back]

Still. Sorry.

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

[Sebastian looks over at Trevor, frowning slightly as he... considers this feeling. It's a new one. And not very pleasant.

After several long moments, he reaches out to place a hand on Trevor's shoulder.]

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

[Holy shit.

His shoulders rise, briefly, before Trevor relaxes into a sad grin]

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

I apologise, Sir.

[This was... unnecessary.

The touch doesn't last too long: after a few moments, Sebastian withdraws his hand.]

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

No, it's..it's fine. It felt nice.

Really. Thanks.

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

I was not apologising for that.

[But that said... it is rather peculiar to suddenly experience firsthand that physical touch does feel nice, sometimes.]

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

Really? What then?

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

[Sebastian turns his head forward, taking a moment to consider his answer. New feelings are somewhat difficult to interpret.]

..."You" likely would not have been able to hurt me, had I not been human.

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

And that's somehow your fault, not mine? You don't blame the victim for getting bit.

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

Most victims have not a choice in to what capability they can defend themselves, Sir.

[Multiple people have been urging Sebastian for weeks to change back, and he's stubbornly refused. ...And besides that, Sebastian does hold himself to a different level of responsibility than he does other people. He's not a victim; he's a consequence of his own choices.]

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

Most aren't here on this fucked-up ship having their brains scrambled every two weeks, either.

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

[Sebastian closes his eyes for a moment, just to ensure it's not the concussion, the venom or the bloodloss talking.]

Surely you mean not to imply my choices regarding that were made while not in my right mind.

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

Noo~oo.

I'm saying that our brains and bodies get fucked up on the regular so it might be good to be super durable when that shit happens.

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

Ah, so you agree with me. [It was stupid of Sebastian to insist on staying human for so long, and it's his fault this assault happened.]

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

I agree with you on most shit. I just don't think it's fair to blame yourself when I'm the one who bit you.

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

If that is the case, shall we agree to disagree? [This is 100% Sebastian reaping the consequences of his own choices: you cannot convince him otherwise.]

...I will be well in due time, Sir. You truly need not stay.

[Leave him and his patheticness alone.]

Re: After the week from hell

[atowncalledtreffy]

I want to stay. But I'll shut up and ignore you if you want, too.

Re: After the week from hell

[untiltheend]

I see little point in pretending like you are not here if you insist on staying.

[So, they can keep talking. Besides, Sebastian suspects that if they keep silent he'll end up falling asleep. It's not that he distrusts Trevor; it'd just make this whole fiasco feel even more humiliating.]
