[ nods, after several moments of a rather more focused version of that stare, and then abruptly seems to pull it together ]

...Yeah. Thanks for confirming that; I'd been wondering for a while, but didn't want to ask out of the blue when you enough problems with losing track on your own.

[rebornagain]

...Thanks.

I remember. I just... can't remember everything at once. It isn't just Yael and Yves, it's so much.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ nnnodding again in response to the thanks ]

...Can you ballpark a number? Or is that kind of a ridiculous question?

[rebornagain]

[for a moment there, fades out a little, like he'll try and think about it-- then jerks back to reality in something barely short of panic, voice rough when he snaps.]

No.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ visibly straightens up in alarm ]

—damn, Yael, I'm sorry.

[ GOOD JOB RUINING THAT WHOLE NOT MAKING THAT WORSE THING, CHRIS ]

[rebornagain]

No. I shouldn't have tried. I know better.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ cue momentary panic while Chris tries to figure out whether his request might have been enough to punch Yael in the suggestibility ]

Still... okay. That one gets placed firmly in the stupid question category.

[rebornagain]

[He didn't, yael just made a poor choice based on fuss levels and liking Chris]

I lose track of who I am, that's how much it is. So yeah, a bit stupid. I don't know how it started. I can't forget it, but it's out of reach.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ Chris doesn't know that, because he too is fuss.

nodding again, though, slowly, eyebrows slowly furrowing as he fusses with one fang ]

...Well. Certain deceased individuals aside, you could have worse company than a vampire's with that.

[rebornagain]

I could.

[So fucking matter of fact.]

But what would your organization do if this continues?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ ...he was going to explain his reasoning but that effectively shuts him up. pinching the bridge of his nose ]

They aren't mine... They'll take you for "proper" deprogramming, probably, with the goal of fostering you with one of their members after to keep you safe.

...I don't know what they'll do if they find out about the past lives thing.

[rebornagain]

I'm not interested in finding out, either way.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

I figured.

...It's up to you what you want to do. I can try to put down a claim for you, but if you'd rather take chances with them finding out or someone else entirely, I won't. It's a shitty choice, but it's yours.

[rebornagain]

I'd prefer to stay with you. Since you know anyway.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ letting out a little whoosh of breath ]

Okay.

[ wait. he agreed. they both just agreed to what will basically be Chris adopting Yael as his charge why did he just say okay he's not ready for this even if he has been thinking wistfully about it for like a month ]

...In hindsight I'm probably going to need some time to figure out exactly how I want to approach that and also probably freak out some in an incredibly undignified fashion, but we've got enough time for that.

[rebornagain]

...I'm not really a child. You needn't take it too seriously.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

You know that, and I know that, but my entire social circle does not and they're the ones who are going to be giving me grief about it. Jesus Christ.

[ doesn't sound that bothered, just mildly overwhelmed ]

[rebornagain]

You won't tell anyone, right?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

I would be wigging out a lot less if I were planning to do that. I won't.

[rebornagain]

[studies him for a few moments, then nods.]

I see.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

I won't share with anyone else the things you've told me in confidence. I might need to mention things like your problems with food or sleep or losing track, but only in the context that you've had your head fucked with and involving as few details as possible.

[rebornagain]

I believe you.

[that is in fact what's fucking with him.]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

...Then what's with the faces?

[rebornagain]

I shouldn't believe you.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

I'm pretty sure anything I can reply to that with is biased...

[ lllooks uncertain, though ]
