( he wants to point out how sweet Dabi is for all this, but he doesn't want it taken away... so he just pauses instead. )

It makes me sound like a vampire or something. But it gives me energy, you know. Strength, a little. I can tell from the taste that it's yours. Sorry if that's gross.

Nothing bad has happened to you for it, has it?

[skinstitch]

it's not gross. think i would've been offended if you couldn't tell.

nah, i did it myself. you need more? i've got more.

[loosestrifes]

You always do know how to lift my spirits. You need to keep some of that yourself, you know.

Can I have it from the source next time?

( half joking, half shooting his shot )

[skinstitch]

you got vampire teeth i don't know about, or you just want to cut a vein open?

[loosestrifes]

( okay, he laughs at that. )

It'll be a surprise.

[skinstitch]

guess i'll wear something open.

[loosestrifes]

You should do that anyway.

At least around me, anyway.

[skinstitch]

yeah? and why's that?

[loosestrifes]

Isn't that obvious? Because you're nice to look at. And I happen to like looking.

[skinstitch]

pretty sure i'm supposed to be disgusting to look at, little prince.

[loosestrifes]

Well, I'm supposed to be many things I'm not.

Don't waste your time with anyone who says as much. I mean it, you know.

[skinstitch]

and if someone says nothing at all, either way?

[loosestrifes]

That might as well be an insult.

Hasn't anyone else complimented you on your appearance?

[skinstitch]

sure, i guess. bits and pieces.

[loosestrifes]

That sounds more like a no, doesn't it. Aside from me? I don't really shy away from saying what I think.

What about ( your little boyfriend, he types and then erases to fix ) Kajiyama?

[skinstitch]

what about him? you worried he likes the same bits and pieces?

[loosestrifes]

I like more than bits and pieces. I think I've made that clear. I like all of you.

[skinstitch]

then why ask about him?

[loosestrifes]

( a very long pause of him trying not to get too angry when he's already dealing with his body on the verge of collapse )

What do you mean, why... I'm going to go back to a bad mood like this. His painting harassed me enough.

[skinstitch]

his painting harassed you?

whatever, we can talk about it later. do you have a place to sleep? you're not gonna get everything back by drinking blood and water.

[loosestrifes]

( Later... later is probably better, when he's not all pouty about it. Right now, Dabi is being nice despite his own annoyance at a situation he warned Esikko about being careful with— so he shouldn't have tried to poke holes in his own jealousy anyway. )

The one assigned to me, I guess. It's a little crowded from my prep but the bed has a clear spot.

I didn't want to bring more trouble to your door, and I don't know how this will end.

[skinstitch]

you can sleep here if you decide you want to. i don't give a shit about this place, or trouble.

[loosestrifes]

What if I can't make it to the elevators?

[skinstitch]

then i guess i have to haul your ass up here.

[loosestrifes]

Can you carry me gently, this time? I actually haven't managed much sleep yet.

But only if you don't get too angry if I overstay my welcome.
