Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'd rather not put anyone's anything in my mouth," he said, adding hastily, "with intent to bleed or hurt. I don't think I could forgive myself or...forget, if I did." Lucas made a disgusted face and shivered.

He snorted softly, and for what felt like the first time in a week, he smiled. Not because he was trying to comfort someone else, but because the whole thing was entirely insane. "I don't know what the 'other world' is, I've only heard snippets and gleaned ideas and I don't like it. It doesn't have to be out to hurt me to be dangerous." Lucas looked her in the eye, his smile still intact. "Not everything that helps is safe, either."

Exhaling slowly, he flexed his hand against hers. "Are you kidding? I probably wont be sleeping for a month now. Not until I know what...what this means. What I am."

To this. Then to something else. Lucas couldn't tell if he was reading between the lines or seeing phantoms where there were none, and quite frankly, he was getting tired of it. Why was finding an answer, something concrete and knowable, so damn hard?

Almost dusk, she said. Waking up. He peered up at her and wondered if she was a vampire. The lack of mental chastising for being crazy to think that really worried him.

He let her go, though, and looked up to her. "See you...Red." A pause. "And thanks."

For now.
