Sure. Was it my fucking vampire asshole self?

Ah. [So he is aware of that.]

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

[he sighs, leaning his head back]

Still. Sorry.

[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.]

[Holy shit.

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

I apologise, Sir.

[This was... unnecessary.

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

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

Really. Thanks.

I was not apologising for that.

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

Really? What then?

[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.

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

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.]

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

[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.

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.

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.]

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.

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.]

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

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.]

That's the nicest way of saying "fuck you, Trevor" I think I've heard in a while.

[he says, smiling sadly]

Yes, well.

[At least Trevor gets the privilege(?) of seeing Sebastian displeased with him, instead of just polite smiling. He runs a hand through his hair before leaning back against his pillow.]

[a tired huff of his own, relaxing against the wall]

You want me to piss off now?

[...After a moment's hesitation, Trevor gets this piece of honesty:]

...Yes, please, if you would.

[a smile, and without a word, he's off]
