Shrug.

"Hope it is a time thing, mostly."

"Okay, so– healing blood? Any idea what it heals yet, what've you tested it on, that sort of stuff?"

"We only tested a small cut. It was pretty fast."

Sadde remains quiet.

"Do you want to test that some more, then? Could talk while we test things."

He shrugs.

Matt looks slightly confused about what to do! "Um. Iiis that a no?"

"Nope."

… That is really not as helpful as he would have liked!

"See what I've had to deal with all day?" he mutters.

"Should I just stop moping then, ignore the fact that something terrible has happened and focus on trying to get the most out of the future even though it sounds like there is going to be a huge amount of upheaval and– lots of other frustrating stuff?" He pauses. "Yes, okay, apparently I should! Right, yes, let's slice ourselves and see how my blood works on various wounds and if it varies between people, sounds like great fun." To Sadde: "Did you scar or has it healed cleanly?"

"...that's kind of what I've been going for, yes, moping is completely useless, the only point of prison and whatever is the deterrence effect and given that we don't really have a way to signal other vampires about anything it's also useless here, the best we can do is, in fact, getting the most out of the future. Also yes it's healed but it hasn't been half an hour yet so I think you two should still interact for a while longer."

"… Interact meaning not doing other things while we talk?"

"I dunno, I just mean that I'm not gonna be a part of it."

"Okay, so, let's see if my blood heals people who are in magic vampire love with me and not just people who I'm in magic vampire love with, then, if Matt is honestly, genuinely up for it."

"Yyy–" he starts, then frowns, thinks for a moment, and says, "Yeah. I mean, I'm definitely up for it, and I'm pretty sure it's 'honestly, genuinely.'"

"Okay, well, unless Sadde has any objections…?"

"No, I have no objections to the two of you acting sensibly, I'm all for being sensible."

"Well I wasn't totally certain that us cutting ourselves to check my healing instead of interacting was sensible, but whatever."

So he goes to grab the knife and the cup again, moving at human speeds.

Matt frowns.

Sadde raises both eyebrows. "The idea was you two interacting and doing experiments, I'd thought?"

"Instead of just interacting, is what I meant."

And then he cuts his palm with the knife and gathers up some blood, trying not to sigh or roll his eyes or wince or anything.

"I really don't understand what's up with you, here."

"I don't know either," he says, then winces a bit.
