Yeah. I remember. Good morning.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ he's still asleep and unguarded enough that for a moment he just looks wrecked, upset and relieved and tired and guilty— at least until he fumbles around for his Responsible Adult face and gets it more or less pasted on ] ...Morning. You're all right?

[rebornagain]

I'm fine. ...You don't need to do that.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ bringing one hand up to rub at his eyes, relaxing enough to yawn ]

Do what?

[ look at how fine he is ]

[rebornagain]

Pretending you're fine. You can stop with that.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

...I'm tired and hungry and you scared the living daylights out of me. I can't do anything about the first two right now and the third's been taken care of, so freaking out isn't productive. I'll be fine later.

[rebornagain]

--Yes you can. If you're hungry, then eat. [tugs the collar of his shirt down.]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ his eyes flicker, go wide and hungry— and he grabs Yael by the shoulders to gently but firmly push him out of his lap. ]

Don't be stupid. You're running on even fewer fumes than I am, I'm not biting you.

[rebornagain]

[doing his damnedest not to be budged!!! this is probably ineffective.] You don't be stupid, you can do a lot more with energy than I can! And I even slept!

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Sleeping doesn't mean you're healthy! Or, you know, large enough that taking from you wouldn't put you in the hospital!

[rebornagain]

[CURSE THIS TINY USELESS BODY not that his bigger one is any less useless he put all his stats into INT he really has no argument for that logic, just looks away.]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ repeating himself: ]

...I'll be fine. I'll go hunting later.

[rebornagain]

You got hurt because of me, and you're saying I can't do anything to fix it?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ takes a deep breath, covering his face ]

That's exactly what I'm saying. If it bothers you that much, then don't pull something like this again.

[rebornagain]

... How long were you following me?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

... I caught up with you about a day after you left.

[rebornagain]

Why? I'm not a child, Chris, however I might look it.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

You're asking me why after that? God knows I would have loved it if you could safely leave, I've never wanted to force you to stay, but I wasn't going to just assume you would be fine.

[rebornagain]

I left because staying with people that care about me is terrible for everyone involved! I was trying to get out of your life! It shouldn't matter if I was going to be fine or not!

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Too Goddamn bad, because it does! It's mattered to me since you were Yves, and it isn't going to somehow stop mattering to me now!

[rebornagain]

--I'm not ever going to be okay, Chris! That's not how it works for me! So stop wasting your time and energy and care on someone who can't even give anything back!

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ looks him dead in the eye over his hands and— ]

No.

[rebornagain]

If this keeps up I'll ruin you!

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Then that's my choice, isn't it? You don't think I didn't think about just letting you go?

[rebornagain]

If you thought about it you should have done it, for Pete's sake... Yves was just an act. Surely you know that by now. I'm not a good person.
