[dismemberthename]

[Whatever circumstances put you into this situation must have really sucked, because right now? You're basically in the middle of nowhere, with heavy snowfall verging on a blizzard, with no reliable way out of this mess. There's no sign of shelter anywhere, and you're in the mountains for fuck's sake. Maybe you can find some trees to hang out under...?

...Are those wolves howling? Seriously, why are even wolves out in this weather?]

((or you know whatever you wanna play follow your dreams))

[dismemberthename]

...Seems like I'm not doing better with you, either.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

No, I'm still pretty sure that's a two-person effort...

[dismemberthename]

...Yeah, I'm just being pessimistic. Sorry.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

It's fine, it's...

...auuuugh to Hell with it.

[ rolling over with the most aggrieved look and

well, now there is a new wolf in the room, not quite as large as the one Sudoh's pelt is from but still Pretty Damn Large ]

[dismemberthename]

[..........





you broke him]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ makes the exact same grumbling whine he'd done before and paws at Sudoh's leg ]

[dismemberthename]

[his shoulders are shaking now and he looks like he's about to cry, but he paws back at that paw, voice rough.]

Sorry, sorry...

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ what

shit he fucked up WHINING AND HALFWAY CLIMBING INTO HIS LAP TO LICK AT HIS FACE, ENTIRELY ON AUTOPILOT

(he still smells like sunscreen and manly bath products.) ]

[dismemberthename]

[hhhf

wraps his arms (very loosely) around Chris, ducking the licks to bury his face into his ruff.]

Didn't realize it was getting that bad...

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ rests head heavily on with another grumble, this time distinctly questioning. he's pretty vocal... ]

[dismemberthename]

Guess if anyone can put up with me losing my mind, it's you guys...

You're new, though. Taking shelter from the storm, huh?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ —SNORTS, pulling back slightly to look at him

when he shifts back, Sudoh can feel the way his shape loses substance before reforming, wisps of dark smoke curling around his arms. his face is against Christophe's chest when he snaps back into shape, with one of Christophe's hands on his head. ]

You're the one who invited me in. [ NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO JOKE ABOUT THAT, CHRISTOPHE. RESIST. ] ...you aren't going crazy.

[dismemberthename]

[w h a t t h e f u c k.

pressing closer at first, even in spite of his near-panic and confusion, because he's so starved for human contact. but. chris didn't want to be touched that much before, so he pulls back, smiling like it hurts to.]

No? Feels like it.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ mmmmmmno. slipping that arm down around his shoulders to gently reel him back in ]

Yeah, I think that one's on me. I maybe should have said something first.

[dismemberthename]

[...puddles against him helplessly.]

Maybe... I mean I'm still probably losing my mind, even if it's not related to you.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ Christ. settling back with him ] That may be why I was prodding at you. Isolation isn't good for most people... ...I should've just come out and said "humans aren't your only options" instead of being stubborn about outing myself, though. I'm sorry.

[dismemberthename]

[pathetic oozeperson tbh]

It... makes sense? I'd be stubborn too...

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ oozeperson is getting cuddled. his earlier reticence seems to be gone. ] It was kind of dumb to be stubborn about both things at once, though.

[dismemberthename]

[.-. Cuddles]

Maybe. I... Can I ask?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

About what I am, or...?

[dismemberthename]

[Nods 'x']

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ makes a face which is probably the exact opposite of comforting right up until he makes a muffled triumphant noise and then cheerfully bares his teeth. his very sharp teeth. holy shit he did not have those canines a moment ago. ] Vampire. —I don't bite without permission.

[dismemberthename]

[Sudoh blinks for a few moments, wide-eyed

And then laughs, surprisingly brightly.]

I invited you in, huh?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

I was trying so hard not to make that joke.

[dismemberthename]

You did well! So I made it instead.
