"Hmm. Not sure what to make of that."

"I am also not sure," responds Theo, checking the rest of his face. "My eyebrows at least look more, uh– they fit slightly better with my face? They weren't bad before, just, I think they look a bit better now."

"So. Like Willow said."

"Yeah. I was just noting for reference."

Nod.

"I don't think we've tried blunt impact trauma," comments Theo. "So I could try running against a tree or something, probably knock it down so we should be careful which one we pick, and maybe I should go slow at first in case I'm not much improved in resilience."

He cracks up.

Theo tilts his head. "– Is it my lack of self-preservation, how I worded it, or the idea of running into a tree?"

"All of it."

"I mean, I'm still gonna try it, probably tonight around the other things we're doing, unless any of you object."

Shrug.

Matt shrugs. "I'm up for supervising if you want."

"And we also have the derelict buildings to do, and maybe the hospital to go scope out to see if we can get anything on when blood is delivered, and– right now we should probably test if my blood acts normally after it has been outside my body for a while, if anyone's up for that?"

Sadde grimaces a bit but says, "Yeah, sure."

And then there is a knife on the counter by Sadde and Theo is over by the fridge, getting out his blood.

"Do we want to test the blood that was left out on the side or not? I'm not sure what accumulates on stuff that's left out but I have a feeling drinking blood that's left out could be bad because of not-directly-blood-related reasons, such as weird pathogens that might take root in it."

"Yeah I'd rather not," he says, eyeing the knife.

"I can bite you instead or something, not sure what things you are and are not okay with here."

He opens his mouth, then closes it, and looks at Willow.

"Okay I am so out of here."

She is so out of here.

"– If you're not okay with it then we don't have to?"

"I think this is mostly about the. Um. The thing."

"The biting thing? – I wasn't going to do it? You mentioned not to."

"I mentioned not to in public," he clarifies.

"– You mentioned not to with other people around because Willow was there at the time and it seemed like you meant it as relevant to that situation?"

"The… biting thing?"
