Mordred says that Lev is supposed to go off his medications and tell Mordred if he's not feeling well and needs to taper down more slowly.
Obviously, the thing this means is that Lev is supposed to taper down as quickly as possible and hide the tremors and headaches and sweating and light hypersensitivity from Mordred so that he isn't upset by them.
Lev manages to do this for almost two days.
"Yeah, I am not going to tell you that. --he's rich, his brother speaks like he went to Exeter."
"Wild. ...Kind of tempted just to ask right now what you're scared you're going to say or, or do to me. Get through it and then it can't hurt us. Might not be one of my smarter impulses."
"I don't know. I don't want to hurt you. I just-- want to know where the lines are where you will start hurting me. But I guess I know where yours are. You would kill me to help Lacie."
"..............................Yeah. I guess that also tells you the limits of my loyalties. If my other options are death or brainwashing I might leave you behind."
"So it's safe and I don't have to worry, I know what I am supposed to do. Not try to brainwash you into a cult and not get in the way of you helping Lacie."
"The more mundane things I fought with Lacie over were mostly dating and dangerous escapades and I think those are both major components of our relationship, so." He is smiling faintly. "...I'll miss you. If you have to stay behind."
He's been rubbing circles into Lev's back. He pulls his hand away so he can settle into a brief kiss and then help clean up Lev's face from all the tears.
