[One emopire, fresh from a harrowing family conversation with a certain half-deimos, is feeling especially on edge and trying to play it safe by keeping his distance from people ftm. His destination: the forest.]

[got_jossed]

*spots* Zero! Where are you going?

[bitingcynicism]

[Keeps walking.]

I'm not feeling well.

Go away.

[got_jossed]

*trotting to catch up* If you're not feeling well it's a good bet that isolating yourself isn't the cure, man.

[bitingcynicism]

Maybe for you.

[got_jossed]

Maybe.

*but not leaving*

[bitingcynicism]

... I'm serious, Doyle. Go away.

[got_jossed]

Depends, man. If you're sick or hurt or something there's no way I'm leaving you alone.

[bitingcynicism]

[Finally meets eyes, crossing his arms.]

I'm not... sick. I just need...

[Trails off and looks away.]

I can't be around anyone right now.

[got_jossed]

Blood. You need blood, isn't that what it is?

[bitingcynicism]

[I'm not answering you.]

[got_jossed]

*that's fine. will just start rolling up his sleeve then*

[bitingcynicism]

[Sees that! Takes a step back.]

What do you think you're doing?

[got_jossed]

They say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. But the horse won't be drinking if there isn't any water around, is my thinking.

*cuffing the sleeve so it won't come back down* You can always say no but better someone willing who knows his own limits, yeah?

[bitingcynicism]

What are you -- Why are you doing this?

[got_jossed]

Do I need a reason other than helping out a friend?
