*hisses and snaps at zem*

*squeaks and struggles to get out of zir grip*

*bites him*

*goes limp*

Mmmm tasty...

Wha... no... it's my prey!

You stole it

*curls up into a protective ball, somewhat squishing Perceptive, and broadcasts xir distress*

Why won't you let me have it?! Do you hate me?

*screams quietly*

Just let me eat it... please!

*sobs, and tugs on Lilith*

*spirals further, feeling abandoned*

*hugs Perceptive tightly*

*nods weakly, and slumps in her arms, still not releasing his neck*

*sobs, and doesn’t answer, from shame*

*sniffles, and nods, then carefully scoops him up*

I was hunting him

I know... I should've been more careful whilst you were in this state...

I might have killed him

Just... see if you can keep Perceptive supported ok. We'll get him to safety...

Yanis

She's around...

No, she won't.

She’ll kill me

No, she won't

Daybreak…

They didn't disown Inquisitive, they won't disown you...

He’s dead

He's not dead

He isn’t moving

That's why we're getting help...

*shakes xir head in confusion*

He was bitten, but he's not dead... not even drained that much.

Turned?

Hopefully he didn't get that much venom

Hopefully

It's difficult for Lorell's bite to turn, ze's so far removed from the vampire lord that supplied the original taint

Really?

Yeah, ze was turned by you, you by Carmilla, Carmilla by Lord Prydon and Lord Prydon by an actual Yssgaroth.

So we can reduce it

Dilute... perhaps, yes.

Why does ze bite me?

I think ze's agitated... ze has... very little control over zir instincts.

Why did you try to bite Perceptive?

He was wriggling. Moving, trying to- to run away. Escape

Same for Lorell...

Ze stole him from me

He doesn't belong to either of you... he's a friend, not food...

…

...

And ze attacked me earlier

Maybe ze craves attention?

Ze was angry

Was ze?

That I licked zem

That you licked zem?

Ze said something was zirs

I'm sorry Rovel... I don't think ze means to be mean, ze's just... well ze's even younger than you are as a vampire.

I ordered zem to stop

I didn’t mean to, I didn’t want to, I- I-

I know, I know... it's ok.

It’s not

You don't like being zir lord, do you?

You have no idea how admirable I find that, Rovel.

That I did it anyways?

That you're given innate power, and you hate it, rather than revel in it.

Do you?

Revel in it? Sometimes

Probably shock... he's so little

He needs warmth

I operate under the assumption that I am a Time Lord due to the origins of my creation being from one. Structurally my anatomy is that of a Time Lord. Two hearts, respiratory bypass, temporal platelets, you know? But I split out of a Time Lord whilst he was regenerating, and someone recently brought to my attention (again) the existence of Watchers. It's entirely possible I could not be a Time Lord. I do believe I am one, though.

Then maybe we should get you tested first.

That would be advisable, I believe...

I just need a dna sample and a biodata scan.

I may have my biodata in the archives already, it was extracted a few days ago my time. As for my DNA, I can come in for that. It doesn't involve needles, does it? If so, you might have to hold me down. Or let me do it myself. I've found I'm substantially better at tolerating needles when I do it myself.

Good to know, I’ll send in a request for it then. The dna sample would ideally be a blood sample but spit works as well. That way we can avoid the need for needles for now.

Spit would be preferable, yes. Could you send me your location so I know where to head? I don't exactly have the best memory of Gallifrey's layout.

*sends him directions on how to get to the med bay*

*freezes, as though she can’t see if xe doesn’t move*

10: Rovel, please. Can you pull yourself together enough to leave until we’ve removed the temptation? Or do I need to sedate you?

*turns, and runs*

He’s… currently hiding under a table

i ' fine 👍

He’s not

comfrtable und er here

*sighs, and drapes a blanket over it*

As I thought. You, young man, have a concussion. Why don’t you come back to the hospital with me? You’ll recover on your own but you’ll need bedrest and we can get you vaccinated, too.

Who are they?

The people with the knives and needles. They'll come to cut me open again if I don't stay hidden. I need to find a better place to hide.

No one will cut you open. The vaccine will, however, involve letting yourself be jabbed by a needle.

You’ll barely even notice it.

Not a bad injury, per se, but he seems… distressed

I gathered.

We’ll see about that.
