Hesperos

AS RESIDENT VAMPIRE OF PANDAEMONIUM---

EXCUSE TF OUT OF ME YOU ARE NOT

((sorry I disappeared. Will still be light on rp probably. Mental health in the gutter but I'm still kicking. ♥️))

......

[Absently examining his claws. He'll wait.]

.............
[Get stared at in uncomfortable silence]

"If my memories of those times I lose myself were intact, I would not have to turn myself into your personal experiment, after all," he sighed. "And you will share the record?"

He let out a soft groan and ran a hand down his face. Never had a conversation been so difficult for Hesperos. "I won't allow you to take on more burden. You do too much already, do not think me unaware." He moved closer, from nearly across the office to within arm's reach of Lahabrea.

—Excuse me?

Would you like. To try that. Again?

I've not a clue what's going on, nor do I wish for context

Do you have enough for two?

....I may have accidentally killed a man.

"If that is a jab at my age, hah." He sighed and rubbed his temple before continuing. "No, it... I find I recall little of the times I... am not myself, as it were. Tis likely why I could not tell you what may or may not trigger such."

"Nervous," he echoed with an almost sad little laugh. Of course he was. The amount /already/ shared was more than he even liked to think of. "If I am?"

"And for that, I rely on you to share your findings." He paused and sighed softly. "I likely won't retain memories of it, should we discover anything."

>:(!

:(

((👀))

((You know you always can!!!))

((He's always welcome to curl up on hesperos' lap too when he's working. Give him a fidget toy (playing with themis' hair) while he does paperwork :3 Themis can be one of the few people allowed in his office without being glared at!!))

((Hesperos leaning his chin on Themis' head while he cooks. Absolutely gets in the way. But he's interested! Even if eating the food won't do anything, he thinks what Themis makes is pretty))

((doesn't eat really so he's useless in the kitchen, doesn't go out except for work much, ace (though sex-positive), and sticks with RDM style fighting, alas!!))

((Well. There you go Themis. Hesperos is in fact your type apparently.))

((Sincerely Vesper. I'm not sorry. I had to.))

((hespy relates))

[Enjoy angry hissing, Deimos. Very rude, to throw anything at people.]

Ah, a shame...

[Enjoy a quick flash of fangs.]

I suppose that it does, though.

.... Grapes. Right.

[Gold eyes blink slowly before he retrieves the requested fruit.]

And these are.. Sufficient? Truly?

"....No, it does not." He laughed almost bitterly. Yes, he'd caused the changes to himself all those years ago by his own hand, but his mind hadn't been his own. In a way, he did this to himself as a puppet. "I...am going to attempt to trust you, in this, however."

He froze for a moment at the other's words, hands briefly tensing into fists before relaxing. He didn't need Lahabrea worrying over him. He had enough to worry over, his friend, or more, perhaps, and his struggles with self-inflicted aetheric vampirism need not add to it. "...I'm fine, Lahabrea."
