They test to see if he is in fact affected by the strength of the sunlight – while he was outside at dawn, it did in fact feel less strong, but he was partially buried in sand and the pain ramped up over the time he was out, so it wasn't a particularly good indicator. It turns out he is in fact affected differently by different strengths of sunlight; weaker sunlight is confirmed to feel less painful and he loses his senses less quickly this time than when he went outside earlier.

After a short while, they go back inside and he cools off – it's not yet sunset, it's just slightly dimmer, so the sun still has quite strong effects on him. They have food, or rather Matt and Sadde do, though Theo cooks it because he hasn't lost that ability despite becoming a vampire, and it gradually gets towards sunset.

"Yeah. See you. And, um, I'm sorry for everything," he directs to Theo.

in-the-breeze

"Sorry for everything, too," he responds, then waves and starts walking back to his place.

Matt White

Matt shrugs and waves too, following.

And Sadde goes back inside to talk to Laura.

Matt White

Matt decides to try to keep watch on the vampire for the night, which amounts to – in the end – him staying up with the vampire for most of the night after calling his parents and having a surprisingly-not-that-long discussion with them.

And the next day is a Thursday, which means Matt really should be in school, but there are only two days left.

So he isn't.

Neither is Sadde.

Knock knock.

Matt White

Matt gets the door. On seeing it's Sadde, steps out of the way of the door to let her in.

Theo is in the kitchen. Sitting at the counter.

Yaaaayyyy.

"Hi. How're you two?"

in-the-breeze

"Okay," he says.

Not like he can complain. Not like he can even say he can't complain, because that would be complaining.

"Bit tired, you?"

subtle_influence

"Alright. Any more experimental results to report?"

in-the-breeze

"I don't sleep much," says Theo. "Four hours last night."

subtle_influence

"And you didn't go after an abandoned building or some such?"

in-the-breeze

He shakes his head.

subtle_influence

"So what'd you two do all night?"

in-the-breeze

"Not much."

"He went and recapped French," says Matt. "Because of his new memory."

subtle_influence

"Well that's kinda adorable."

in-the-breeze

Theo smiles a little and shrugs. "I'm not really sure what to do today, though."

subtle_influence

"Well, hmm... You apparently can't enter residences, I'm not sure there are any tests left to run that aren't just, like, checking that this or that herb repels you, or testing your regeneration and resistance to pointy wooden things, which I'm not a fan of testing right now."

in-the-breeze

"Not a fan of testing because it'd be boring, or…?"

subtle_influence

"...because I kinda don't wanna cut your hand off and see if it regrows or have to explain to your mom that yeah you were alive but we kinda turned you to dust."
