(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

[ Terry has absolutely no intention to tear out Kido's throat with his teeth because that's what will happen if he even seriously tries. He sighs when Kido brushesher thumb against his mouth. ]

I mean that I won't do that... and I never will. I didn't want to drink any from you anyway, because you might get scared or something... and it's an experience I'd rather not put you through.

[reveilation]

I would absolutely get scared.

[ There is no doubt she would start crying and maybe pass out if he did, even if she were the one to volunteer for it in the first place. She moves her hand away from his face to rest on the back of his head instead to pull him closer. ]

We had this conversation before. If you really needed my blood, I would give it to you. Sure I'll be scared, but I know you won't hurt me. [ ... ] Honestly, once you start, I'll probably be unconscious, and then you could take your time and it wouldn't even matter to me.

[ It would be fine, yeah. Still a last resort, though. ]

[overstrain]

[ Terry looks so appalled for a second. ]

I wouldn't take my time! Oh my god. I'd get you to a safe resting place right away! If I really had to, I'd probably just take a day's worth and then figure it out later! A day extension is more than enough time.

[reveilation]

[ Kido makes a face right back, though it's more confused than anything, because why would you only take 1/14th of what you need when it means you have to drink blood at least one more time to get a full gas tank? ]

I wouldn't be able to tell the difference when I'm unconscious... But never mind. I just need you to know you don't have to worry about me being scared for something like that. If you had to choose between living and scaring me, the choice is obvious.

[overstrain]

When you wake up, you'll definitely feel it if I take more than ten days worth.

[ But she's right though. He used to get by with animals, Rei's donation, and Sasuke shoving his arm at him...

... ]

Anyway, I'm never taking it by the neck because I don't know how and I don't want to learn.

[reveilation]

[ Kido's probably going to feel it a lot sooner because according to her BMI she is underweight, because nobody likes giving their characters a healthy body weight. But skipping the neck is a good idea because he might accidentally cut open an artery and get sprayed in the face with blood and then have to figure out how to sew somebody back up before they bleed out to death. It's a mess. ]

Mm, yeah, just stick with what you've been doing. You're getting by alright?

[ Getting blood from........... ????? cats? They had a lot of cats and it's great that Terry is allergic because that means all of Kido's cats are safe from him. ]

[overstrain]

Ah, yeah. I should have... 11 days? Around there.

[ It's a rough estimate and that's all he needs. He's probably been getting them from the rabbits from Kido's hat when he makes dinner or something... someone needs to do the preparation. ]

[reveilation]

[ That's fair; if Terry has to be the one to butcher live rabbits, he's entitled to all the blood that comes from it. Kido is just going to do her best not to count backwards to know what Terry's scheduled feeding dates are or whatever because that's getting weird and yeah. ]

Okay. We don't have to talk about this anymore.

[ Kido moves so she can get out from under Terry and nudge him onto his side instead so she can tuck herself against his chest in that spot she likes. ]

[overstrain]

[ Scheduled feeding sounds like he's a pet I'm laughing

Terry lets Kido go so that she can shift herself in that favorable position. He thinks she's cute this way and gently strokes her hair. ]

Wanna nap? It's nice under the blanket.

[reveilation]

[ Terry is a very very high maintenance pet, that's absolutely it. Kido would also make a high maintenance pet, somebody who likes being pampered and taken care of and she smiles a little at the feeling of fingers running through her hair before she presses up as close as she can against Terry's chest. ]

Yeah. First one awake has to cook dinner.

[ If she puts her mind to it, this nap is going to turn into sleep, and Kido is a deep sleeper. ]

[overstrain]

[ The moment Kido says that, he knows he lost. He's always been a light sleeper unless something is interfering with that. Not like he minds making dinner anyway. ]

Alright, alright.

[ Terry takes his glasses off and puts them on the bedside stool. ]

Sleep well, Kido.

[ And a small peck at the top of her head. ]

[reveilation]

[ Kido grins, because victory is hers... ]

Good night, Terry.
