[ Amory Felix sits on a kitchen chair, leaning against his arm propped up on the table. There's absence in his expression, a stolidity that Amory struggles to maintain, no matter what his appearance suggests. Blood soaks the right arm of his white button-up, decorated with large rip at the top shoulder. It exposes flesh plastered with dried blood. His hair, cropped-short, joins the bloodbath with matted clumps of hair. There's more, but it's cut off from the camera. ]

—the City, right?

[fatespoken]

Do I?

[eiremagic]

Yeah. Come Monday, yeh owe me.

[fatespoken]

How would I pay you? I have nothing to offer. I've sold everything else.

[eiremagic]

Don' worry. Yeh'll find a way.

[Pause]

And yeh even consider bitin' Frankie, and I'll pull yehr fangs out with me bare hands.

[fatespoken]

I'm not a savage. [ A pause of his own. ] I don't need any more. I won't sink my teeth into someone's neck for sport.

[ His tone hardens at the end, anger cutting into his words, as much as he tries to retract it. ]

Eden, right? Your name is Eden. [ He remembers that, at least. ]

[eiremagic]

[A slight huff, because she doesn't inherently trust vampires, especially not ones who are Amory. No offense]

Yeah. Eden.

[fatespoken]

[ He wouldn't trust himself either, Eden. And he's still at a tentative acknowledgment of his current state. ]

I should remember that. Feels like I should, at least. [ He pushes against his temple, out of habit. ]

[eiremagic]

Yeh will.

[fatespoken]

Right.

[ He's skeptical. ]

Who was I to you? A friend? [ He raises an eyebrow. ] Never made many of those.

[eiremagic]

Somethin' like that.

[fatespoken]

How long since? It kept me here awhile last time, didn't it?

Maybe I'll be lucky again or something.

[eiremagic]

Luck isn' exactly yehr strong suit.

[fatespoken]

It's in the name. But then that's a lie.

Part of it's luck. Second's a habit of being a headstrong fool.
