All of him, eh? If his antics could successfully distract Signless from his grief, even only for a few hours, he would gladly do it. As if for the first time, he saw the reckless way he protected Signless, even challenged him. Laid out so plainly, he could not deny it now with evasions and hesitations. He tasted metal as his lip broke and bled against Signless's warmer ones. The pain came a moment later.
"Ath," he growled in earnest. He shifted on his knees and tangled their legs. He cupped his face, fingers curling in his hair tight enough to tug like needles on his scalp. He pressed their foreheads together but pulled their fangs apart, fixing Signless with an intent, pupil-less stare.
"I'm glad you're alive," he purred, fangs edged with his dark gold blood.
Psii's smile faded. Times like these, Psii felt he could see two images converging, like a shitty pair of 3D glasses shifting into place. He was glad Signless was alive and with him, but somehow along the way, part of him had died anyway. The proof had been Signless saying he felt more like a person today. What was he before? when he lost his first moirail to the arena, when he culled for the first time, and most recently, when Initiate was avoxed?
"Be careful they don't kill you inthide. My vithionth don't predict that."
