... I do think you bit a little harder than I did.

[ as she gingerly touches the skin below her ear, looking completely disoriented. ]

[chevaliered]

...

I have a band-aid for that?

[momming]

... Thank you, but I think I'll manage. I don't think you broke the skin.

[ Or at least it doesn't feel like it's bleeding. ]

[chevaliered]

Uhh… let me check?

[ …



… okay good. ]

Okay, yeah. No blood. Just uh… tooth marks. [ wowzers. ]

[momming]

... Tooth marks.

Well, something's clearly at work here beyond our chemistry.

[ Since she's pretty sure they hadn't intended to do that. ]

[momming]

Of course. [ with a small pump of her fist. ]

I'll be ready regardless.

[chevaliered]

Yeah, let’s be honest — someone will fall and cut their knee at some point.

[chevaliered]

Not really deep ones if it helps?

[ ha ] And here I thought you'd finally given up denying it. [ crow ] -- But you're right, it was like a compulsion, wasn't it? Weirdly out of body?

[momming]

Mm, that's exactly how I'd put it. And then completely gone after I bit you.

[ she just glosses right over Crow's everything, apparently. ]

[chevaliered]

[ otome their CHEMISTRY ]

Oof. Leave a guy hangin'.

-- but you're right. Like it only lasted long enough to get the action in and then-- [ he makes a popping motion with his hands ]-- done.

[momming]

[ His heart will go on. ]

I wonder why... I understand the other compulsions we've been put through, much as I can't stand them... but why biting?

[chevaliered]

[ he thinks. ]

Well, I'm not pissed at you. So it can't be unresolved anger issues?

[momming]

... Do you typically bite when you are angry?

[chevaliered]

No, but it's an angry thing to do, isn't it? Like fight or flight?

[ please ]

[momming]

Well, I tend to think most people would choose punches first, but I am glad we're not angry at each other.

[chevaliered]

I can punch too, buuuut---

[ he is not punching! ]

Good to know doctor-patient relations remain strong even in these trying, bitey times.

[momming]

I'll keep you healthy if it kills me.

[ cheerfully ]

[chevaliered]

Not worth it. Don’t die on my account.

[ said very seriously. ]

[momming]

I'll try not to.

[ Hm. ]

[chevaliered]

Well, that’s pretty much anyone can ask.

[ wonderful! don’t think about it. ]

week 1, sunday post execution

[chevaliered]

[ he's got one of those little dishes of ice cream and it looks very tasty but he's just not touching it. rip ice cream. he's just frowning at it like it's going to give him answers. ]

[momming]

[ if only it could.

Otome is quietly stepping in because sure she has to eat. And when she sees Crow all she does at first is give him a tired little nod. ]

[chevaliered]

[ well, at least she's eating. ]

... Did you manage to treat Manwol before she ran off?

[momming]

Yes, once Dimitri hauled her over, she behaved herself.

[ she doesn't need to worry anyone by not eating, she can be sensible. ]

If you see her, though, please remind her that running on broken ribs isn't advised.

[chevaliered]

... Everyone needs to stop getting broken ribs, we can't just patch them up and go.

[ SIGH. ]

Sure, I will. If she comes out of hiding any time soon, that is.
