... Luke... *looking right at him, hands shaking on the glass*

[turns his head back to her, blinking.] ... [gets it] --No! [laughs quietly, folding back to his knees and taking her hands] Not that kind of-- hell, babe. No. ...Well at least hopefully. You might have an inkling to kill me once or twice, but... No. You should know better than that.

.. *snorts* You weren't looking at me.

[well now he is, if a trifle skittishly.] ...my mistake. [runs his thumb over the back of her hand for a moment before recoiling]

... mm. *takes a tiny sip of water*

... [bites the inside of his lip for a moment, leaning forward to press his lips to her forehead] ...maybe I oughta let you be in here. This is the girl's bathroom, after all.

Yeah. *closes her eyes, quiet*

... [mirrors the action, staying still for a moment before standing again, moving toward the door as quietly as he can]

*doesn't open her eyes, trying more to quiet her stomach*

[in the meantime, he'll hang out outside the bathroom, sitting on something until she's done.]

*finally gets up after ten minutes, slowly walking out the door*

[caught up flicking open the lid of the lighter he's acquired, he doesn't notice her departure]

*sits down next to him* You wanted to talk?

[jumps, nearly dropping the lighter] --Jeez! ...Yeah. Um.

... Luke, what the fuck happened?

W-well for starters, I've been meaning to talk to you for a while about some... crap I kind of figured you ought to know, and then a couple days ago I... kind of screwed up a lot, and... [fidgeting with the lighter again]

*so very, very quiet, not looking at him*

[inhales slowly, holds his breath, and exhales on a sort of puffing action] ...Look, before I start in on this, for what little good it'll do me, I want you to know that as much of a lie as you're going to think it is when I'm done here, I love you. It's... I don't know, I've been telling you since the very beginning that I don't know what I'm doing, and... well, I guess it's all finally come back to bite me in the ass. [hesitantly reaches over to take one of her hands] ...Maybe we oughta go sit somewhere that isn't a bench outside the bathroom, mm?

*softly, voice shaking* Just talk, damn it.

... [bites his lip, recoiling his hand again] First off, about two months after I was back in Baticul I almost slept with Tear. [not looking at her. nope.] I won't bore you with the specifics, but I will say that I didn't actually go through with it. [laughs wryly]

*just listening*

Beyond that, I... [shifts, pushing his layers of clothing off his shoulder without looking at her, exposing the partially-healed bitemarks on the back of one shoulder]

*looks when he moves, and goes still* ...

[stays that way for a moment, then rights the fabric again and adds to the silence] ... [pockets the lighter again, shifting and standing up] I don't... expect you to forgive me. It was stupid, and I... really have no excuse for it. [note that he's not mentioned the completely faded marks on his neck-- he figures what she can't see won't hurt her.] I just thought you should know.

Those are...
