[ he will come back with a first aid kit, grimacing a little. ]

I'm sorry, Hikari... I. I can't believe I broke skin.

[ IS HE A CANNIBAL ]

[reinherits]

[cannibal rin arc...]

... You needn't worry. It merely startled me.

[damp]

[ stares at his neck

blood... ]

[reinherits]

[c... covers up the blood...?]

[damp]

[ COUGHS

looks back at the kit ]

Is a regular bandaid going to be big enough?

[reinherits]

Er... I suppose it is a bit of an awkward shape.

[damp]

[ pulls out some disinfectant. do you need this for human mouths?? he has no idea. ]

I hope it doesn't leave a mark.

[reinherits]

[hikari isn't exactly an expert in medical care so he will just trust rin on this...]

Mm. Well, it is not a concern if it does.

[damp]

You wouldn't be bothered by a bitemark on your neck...?

[reinherits]

[he blinks, confused.]

I've received worse marks in battle...?

[damp]

... I don't think anyone is going to think this is a battle wound.

[reinherits]

[just blinks again]

[damp]

[ he doesn't want to explain this ]

... Don't worry about it.

[reinherits]

If you say so...

[...]

Do you need water or something to drink?

[damp]

Huh? Why...?

[reinherits]

[BECAUSE YOU HAD HIS BLOOD IN YOUR MOUTH??

but he does not say that.]

Ah... never mind, then.

[awkward]

[damp]

[ he rinsed his mouth in the washroom! but yeah... ]

You should be bandaged up. It didn't look so bad.

[ ... ]

Maybe you should sleep in another bed.

[reinherits]

Are you concerned that you'll, um, try that again?

[damp]

... A little.

[reinherits]

[a pause]

To be honest, I should, although more for your safety than my own...

[cannot promise how he'd reflexively react if rin bit him while he was sleeping and potentially in the middle of one of his regular nightmares]

[damp]

... I don't want to kick you out. I'll just stay in another room.

Gerard will get lonely by himself.

[reinherits]

[he shakes his head.]

Gerard is your teammate—he might feel uncomfortable about being alone with someone who is essentially a stranger. I can stay elsewhere.

[damp]

[ ... honestly he can't refute that ]

Thanks, Hikari.

And... sorry.

[reinherits]

No need for apologies. After all, you were the one who invited me in the first place, and I am grateful you thought of me.

[to room with him (and the others) back then, so as far as hikari's concerned rin is allowed to kick him out whenever he wants.]

If not water, is there anything else you'd like? Or would you rather rest now...?

[damp]

You don't have to do anything else for me.

[ lifts a hand ]

I'm okay. But yeah, I'll probably turn in. [ ... ] Send me a message so I know you're in another one of the rooms here and not on the street.
