Blood for blood.

[runningred]

Jay opens his door and tossed the suitcase aside. Nothing in there that can't wait. For once, Jay's room is in immaculate order, clearly cleaned and packed up before he went away.

He shrugs off his shirt and waistcoat to reveal his heavily bandaged chest. There are boot prints bruised into his skin and deep cuts and shallow scratches. All and all, he's a mess.

"Thank you for this." He kicks off his shoes and sits on the edge of the bed.

Comments

"Pass the shampoo, will you?" Jay mutters distractedly, half way lost in his own thought. Mostly about the bruise and scratches he no longer has.

Eric hands him the bottle. Wordlessly.

Jay takes it with equal silence, finish up and getting out. He dries out with further comment, letting Eric take as long as he need. Instead Jay checks himself in the mirror, needing to see to be sure everything's healed and fine again.

"Your blood is impressive. I don't even think a violet ray would heal that completely." Even some of his older scars are looking reduced.

"It seems to work a little differently each time here," Eric says, as he dries off and hangs the towel.
"But yes. It is."

Godric's line.

"Situational maybe. Or reacting to something in the person drinking it." Jay suggests, tugging at the forelock that is starting to lighten back to it's normal colour. "My system must have been flooded with adrenalin by-products and the like. Feels clear enough now."

Most of the effects of Eric's blood seemed to have died off with the third orgasm.

"Could be," Eric agrees and then he steps closer to take a look at Jay's eyes.

"You seem okay. I'll head off then."

Not touching him.

Jay holds his eye for a moment, resting a hand on Eric's arm. "If you go before I see you next, don't make my mistake. Don't miss."

It's as close to stay safe as he can say right now.

"I won't," Eric says, quietly.

And then he turns away to get dressed so he can leave.

Jay doesn't bother. He could do with the some sleep. "Let Pam know to find me, if she needs anything done on the house."

He doesn't make any move to stop Eric leaving.

"I'll do that," Eric says as he does up his jeans.

"Goodbye Jay."

And then he is gone.

Jay grumbles and flops back into the bed before remembering the sheets desperately need changing. Why does he surrounded himself with people who communicate as badly as his own family?

{ooc: thank you! That was fun, and impressive even for them.}
