[flipping it over in his mind, hating the part of him that jerks forward, like the fucking idiot he is, wanting to leap and believe there'll be something there to break the landing.]

i can't tell if you're doing some sort of
weird roleplay thing or not, mr. s.

which would be crazy, because when i hit on your brother he blocked me. [throwing it in his face -- see what i am, see what a piece of shit, you'd better reconsider before it's too late.]

[blooded]

We're not that united a front.

I am not hitting on you, for the record. I'm very happy with la mia lei. I have simply... heard things which make me very angry. I would like to put them right, if you'd allow me to.

[kobes]

uh-huh.




look, i'm figuring things out. i'm grown, i can take care of myself.
and i can guarantee you'd regret it.

[blooded]

You are, and you can. But there is no shame in taking a helping hand when it is offered, Koby. And I would regret more not trying.

My door will be open to you for the duration of our stay.

[kobes]

okay. cool. i'll keep that in mind.

sure i can't get like a smaaaaall investment? if i get her off my back it'll be fine for a while. [not forever. it's never fine forever.]

[blooded]

Even if I wanted to give the witch any money—which I don't—all of our assets are currently tied up in my father's estate. We've yet to decide how to split them all, and so I have no money to give.

[kobes]

...so you came to a horny british castle to figure that out?
gotta respect the creative approach, boss.

metaphoric boss. i haven't decided anything.
i don't [think she'd ever let me go]

think i will until i like
figure out all my options, y'know?

[blooded]

Understandable.



From one child of a difficult person to another—you'll never lose more than you gain by leaving, and they never have as much power as they want you to think they do.

[kobes]

[...huh. interesting.]

sure.
i'll keep that in mind, mr. s.

🎀

[blooded]

Do that, please.

I hope to see you in my room before the end of the month.
