[ Asking him not to worry would be unfair, so she won't. Knowing he'll be safe is her priority. ]

[ She nuzzles at his hand ] Thank you for understanding. I know it's a big change, and so suddenly. But he's doing so much for me. For us, really. [ Or at least trying to, with her hibernation. ]

[happydreamed]

He's important to me too. And how you take care of the people you care for is one of the things I love about you.

[So he's really not in any place to ask her not to go.]

[sangreine]

[ "Care for" is doing more work in that sentence than he realizes. ]

Do me a favor and don't make a thing of it with him, okay? I know I didn't say much, but I don't want him to think I'm spilling his business.

-- Which reminds me. Did you tell Lelouch I'm a vampire? [ Her smile is both sweetness and vague threat. ]

[happydreamed]

...yes. [Winces a little, he knows he made a mistake.] I've been more careful about my words since with others, but that's no excuse, I know.

[sangreine]

[ She draws a breath and is trying very hard not to look annoyed. She is mostly successful, at least. ]

We've had that conversation before. Why I prefer to tell people myself. And then the thing with Venti and Lumine.

I'm not angry, but... I'm begging you, think before you gossip. [ She won't have this conversation a third time, she'll just stop trusting him. And there's no coming back from that. ] I need you to respect my boundaries the way I respect yours about not being too affectionate in public -- barring when I was under status effects, that is.

[happydreamed]

I know. I'm sorry.

[He talks before he thinks and he needs to not.]

[sangreine]

[ She gives his hand a squeeze. ]

I know you didn't mean any harm and it's probably from a place of being proud of me and seeing nothing wrong with what I am. But I also know how some people can get about vampires. I worry about it all the time.

I need to have control over who knows so I can feel safe.

I know you know all this, just... [ She's hoping if she explains it like that it'll sink in better. ]

[happydreamed]

I forget that anyone could ever think poorly of you, even for foolish reasons. I wish you had the luxury of forgetting that, but I know that you don't.

[There is nothing wrong with her. It's other people who are wrong.]

-I'll be more careful.

[sangreine]

[ She leans over and gives him a kiss on the cheek. ]

For punishment, you will take me and this delicious cake to bed and wash the sheets when I inevitably get chocolate on them.

[happydreamed]

The first part of that isn't a punishment, you realize.

[Already picking up the cake.]

[sangreine]

It's a reward for me for being so gracious in forgiving you.

And also because I love you.

[happydreamed]

I love you too, my dear. Shall we?

[time to make a mess in private-]

[sangreine]

I'm right behind you. [ She drops the fork in the sink, though. No need for that! ]

[And we don't need two smut threads I'm painfully slow on, so they had a fantastic time with inappropriate use of desserts.]
