Alex. Bar. Booth. Book. Tea. Add some verbs an' stuff and you might get a full sentence, whee!

The mun blames the sugar-high for the incoherent.

He shrugs again, looking uncomfortable.

"S'just the way I am."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

He shrugs too.

"it's not really important. Guess I'm just used to how spoiled Amadeo and David are."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

"Everyone seems to make a big deal about me not having favourite foods. I don't understand why."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"Probably because most people do. Even David says that his is Lestat's jugular. But like I said, it's not that important."

"'Kay."

He sips his tea.

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"So, what do you have preferences in, if not food?"

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

"Books. Music... vampires, apparently..."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, the preference in vampires came as something as a surprise. I'm not much for blood normally."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

He shrugs. "Considering my other tastes, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"What other tastes?"

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

Another shrug, and he pulls his sleeves up, showing Richard the finger-shaped bruises around his wrists.

"I like for him to hurt me. Shouldn't be so surprising that I like the blood."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

Richard raises his eyebrows and speaks softly.

"Amadeo likes that too. I don't really understand it. I don't want to hurt him."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

He draws one knee up, wrapping his arms around it.

"It doesn't always make sense like that."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"How does it make sense to you? If I may ask."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

"It's about trust, trusting your lover to give you just enough pain to give an edge to the pleasure without pushing too far."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"It's going too far that worries me. I'd never forgive myself if I truly hurt him."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

"Well... you've got the bloodlink, that should tell you if you start getting too close to his limit, shouldn't it?"

[go-between.livejournal.com]

He nods.

"It should. I suppose I should trust it more, and talk to Amadeo about it."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

"It might be the best idea. He's probably different to me, you shouldn't just go by what I can tell you."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

He nods again.

"You're right. That must be personal taste like everything else. I'll speak with him tonight. Thank you for your help."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

A brief, hollow smile.

"I'm glad I could help."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"You said you like books. What sort?"

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

"Bar's been giving me what Nick calls fantasy books... they remind me of Tortall. A lot of the worlds in them are similar."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"I should ask her for some. I used to read a lot of science fiction and fantasy. I've been reading some of the books about the vampires that I know. That's been helpful."

[theprettiestone.livejournal.com]

"I think she knows what Tortall was like, wants to remind me of it."

I miss Jon and Gary and Raoul...
