[THE LARF.

ALSO STOP HAVING SINFUL THOUGHTS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, HE'S ALWAYS WATCHING. Lucas is not, his eyes have been closed this whole time. He gently patpats Lavi's knee again, though.]

You are. [ANSWERS ANYWAY.] ...I'm enjoying being able to spend time with you in the moment, even if it's a sad moment, and even if you say silly things.

[Because one never knows when the last moment will come, really.]

[bookpapers]

[silly things..... wow.....

Lavi lapses into silence, but it's not the Indignant kind. just the peaceful kind because Lavi does know how to be quiet, shockingly. then.]

...Are you sick because of the curse?

[faithkept]

[SILLY THINGS LIKE SAYING HE'S CHARMING!!!!

This is nice, though - just a stretch of silence. Lucas is also so quiet and still that it might seem like he's dozed off, if it weren't for the slightly labored breathing, too shallow to indicate sleep. He still remains silent for a few long moments after the question, though.]

...It starts in the lungs, but will eventually cause damage to the entire body. Earlier, in the stream - that had really never happened to me before. But that may be the nature of the beast.

[Lavi's familiar with contagion and disease and how no matter who you are, you can fall as easily to it as the next person, but... it's a little different when it's all written out for you, when it's something that will happen no matter what -- to the point where an entire country has to escape through cloned bodies, made new.]

Have you just been enduring it then? Or are there ways you can feel better, even for a little bit?

[faithkept]

[THEIR CLONE BODY SURFING. It's fine the country is fine...

Lucas is quiet for another little stretch of time. This conversation is one he doesn't want to be having, especially here and now, especially in a vulnerable position (literally, but also just being in a rough state). All the same...]

...I have... medication. But I would rather not use it.

[lavi really honeytrapped lucas with his thighs and scarf blanket

but hmmm.... lavi like did lucas's mysterious crutch come with a pill compartment or something]

...Does it have bad side-effects or something?

[faithkept]

[FUCKING HELP. Curse you stupid sexy Lavi and your plush thighs and soft scarf...]

It does. [The side effect is called being drugged.] ...And it only takes the edge off of the symptoms, really, so...

[bookpapers]

[YOU DON'T HAVE TO ADD SEXY THERE]

...Since it's not a cure.

[just a stopgap, temporary relieving whatever Lucas is suffering from, and not even doing that possibly.]

I'm worried about you, Lucas. You're way more vulnerable than most of us here. [he doesn't know] Do you know how to fight at all?

[faithkept]

[STUPID SEXY LAVI!!!!!

He doesn't answer the first part, but he probably doesn't need to. As for the rest:]

I know some self-defense. I have to be able to protect the children, after all... [From angry Reliver dads who show up to try stealing away their abused children!!!!!] So please don't worry about me.
