[Doing better requires having a foothold and they both know how Damon reacts to Kavinsky poking around inside his head. One jab of an inquisitive thought-finger, and he'd end up cast out and ignored. That doesn't make for a pleasant partnership.
He mulls the words over. Lets his tongue feel over his teeth.
the amusement in damon's voice is clear, his delight sharp and pointed, very clearly at kavinsky and not with him. that he thought a meal would be all damon required to participate in something this ridiculous is the funniest thing he's heard all day.
[The amusement fails to sting the way it might if Kavinsky had a worse temper. He's level-headed enough--in this arena--to know it was a shot in the dark.
"Jojo" is new, childish and overly familiar. He'd have no problem never hearing it again. Being a bully himself, he knows better than to voice the feeling.
A breath. He reaches out through the mental link to hunt for clues. He holds himself back, rifling only through the superficial.
They both lived in Virginia. Go figure. But that tidbit means nothing.]
(Worth a try. Forget it, then. I don't know what you want.)
[And the greatest civility he can muster is to not shove closer so that he will.

Damon was his first choice, but not the only.]
