[ He can't--

(no)

(that's not fair)

(he doesn't want this he--) ]

There--

There are... there are things set up. I know I can't go to one of the... proper places, not without being registered but-- but there are other places too, that are more discreet, that I could go to and--

I won't feed from you. I won't.

[ He shakes his head sharply to punctuate it, insistent.

(he won't feed from Chris again)

(even with the part of him that insists, still, that Chris is his)

(Chris is his and he claimed Chris and Chris woke him up and he's supposed to keep Chris with him because Chris is important and his it's important that he keep Chris at his side and keep his claim fresh so that nobody will take Chris away again but--)

(he can't)

(Chris is supposed to be his... his...

is there a word for it?)

(incubi aren't supposed to mate, are they, but that's the only thing he can think of)

(Chris is supposed to be that but Thomas can't do that again he can't) ]
