I feel like that's probably an unkind term to use.
Did I tell you that in the last place I was, between here and home, we had to drink blood? I don't, anymore, but what if we all wake up and suddenly that's what we need? Or someone we care about gets turned?
[Deep breaths over here, because Koby knows. He doesn't have the words for what it means when hurt sinks tendrils into everything, every action, every word, but he knows. He's not the one Tim's mad at.]
I don't think you're unreasonable. I trust your judgement more than anyone here. I just promised someone I'd keep their identity a secret. And I know they'd never do anything to hurt me or anyone I cared about.
"We"? I have a mop in the bathroom, it's behind the door. Use vinegar, it's better for cleaning blood. Did any get on the carpets?
[ fine, he will go clean blood. It’ll take about an hour to do that, and then take a shower, and generally calm down. Because he trusts Koby, he does, he wouldn’t be a very good safe house if he didn’t, but it’s disturbing. Dangerous at best, and at worst, something insidious to chip away at his faith and all he thinks he knows about this place. Tim just needs a minute. ]
[ And jealous. Not because he wants Quentin quite like that, but just of the happiness, of having someone who can bring himself to say the words. Or having someone at all. Tim isn't bitter about a thing though, living vicariously through him instead. ]

I need to prepare for everything.
no subject
No you didn't because that's insane
Did you hurt people?
no subject
I know it's insane, but it happened and it was terrible.
No, we didn't. We drank animal blood, mostly.
no subject
I'm sorry that happened to you. But it wasn't permanent, like someone who is actually calling themselves a vampire. It's not the same.
no subject
But they're trustworthy. And I want to make sure they're taken care of.
Maybe not, but it's similar enough. Besides, blood is also helpful if someone gets stabbed or shot.
no subject
You need the right type for that, too. You're not a doctor!
no subject
I know enough. I stitched up my own injuries for years.
no subject
Have you ever given yourself a blood transfusion?
no subject
No, but only because I didn't have blood bags lying around. Or a donor.
no subject
his playbook exactly.
that is so dangerous koby.
this isn't usable anymore anyway.
no subject
I didn't have a choice. Sometimes you don't get a choice.
Why? Did you spill it?
I'll come clean it up.
no subject
No.
But you’re making me sound unreasonable. Im not.
I dropped one of the bags when I realized what it was. You don’t need to come though, we’ve got it.

[ He will be mentally flipping through people close enough to Koby to be candidates later. But right now, there’s a mess. ]
Me and Quentin.
Yeah, some of it. That’s the hard part.
no subject
That was a joke. I'm joking.
Ah. Quentin. Have you two
talked? [Listen, he's been trying to figure out how to tell Tim "actually you were right ughhhh" for a hot second.]
The vinegar. Mix it with water, soak the spot, then blot it with a damp cloth after ten or so minutes. Don't scrub. It'll get the blood right out.

Just
We went out on the lake and it was nice.
Talked about some things.
Go clean blood. [Do not perceive him!!]
no subject
Talked about what? 😁
no subject
Of course he doesn't do that.]
You might've been
Correct
In some observations
That you made
Maybe
A little
Stop smiling I can feel you smiling because you told me so
Stop it 😠
no subject
Did he tell you?
no subject
Yes.
no subject
I'm happy for you!
[ And jealous. Not because he wants Quentin quite like that, but just of the happiness, of having someone who can bring himself to say the words. Or having someone at all. Tim isn't bitter about a thing though, living vicariously through him instead. ]
Tell me more.
no subject
Nobody's ever said that before. To me, I mean.
I burst into tears immediately, so that was how maturely I reacted.
