-looks at doow,quickly pulls on mask-
Come in.
-pulls blanket around his waist-

-opens the door, peeks in-
...Are you okay...?
-worried, looking guilty-

No, i will be soon.
-nods,sighs-
Stay away from her.

-small nod-
Okay.
-walks closer to, checking his bruises-
.....She was like us...
She had horns...and teeth.

She did.
-nods,sighs-
...but she is worse then us, she....
-doesnt know how to word it-
She is more then a monster, more then me.

Mmm...
-sad-
That sugar she had...it was bad sugar?
-tilts head, softly wipes his bleeding wounds from her bites-

Yes...it would hurt you...
-winces-
I think she broke my nose.

...Oh.
-looks down-
......
Hm? I can't help with that unless you take off your mask.

...-sighs-
FIne...take the mask..

-gently pulls the mask up, touches his face-
.....Zacharie...

-looks at, doesnt smile, doesnt even look like he has emotions-
Hmn?

-kisses softly-
I'm sorry you had to go...through this...to save me.
-sad-

It is okay...
Just..
-sighs-
Be careful, do not go near her.

-frowns-
I won't.
-presses hands to his nose-
I have to set it...ready?

Yes.
-holds still,sighs-

-quickly jerks, sets his nose right-
.....

-takes a deep breath, doesnt move other wise-

-smiles-
Done.
How's it feel?

It hurts...a lot..
-sighs-
Hand me my mask.

-does so, watches-
....
Why do you wear your mask?
-tilts head-

....-holds mask-
My face.

What's wrong with it?
-frowns-

-shrugs-
I do not enjoy people looking.

Oh.
-ashamed-
Sorry...

Do not be.
-chuckles,fixes the mask back on-
People dont like people like me..
-head tilt-

-frowns-
mmm...I understand.
-looks down-
.....They don't like me, either.

Ah, but you look normal.
I do not, when people look into my eyes they see nothing.
-chuckles-
I have no soul, at least not one they would recognize.

Oh.
-looks at-
....That girl, people see her as she is...?
Or...not??

....I dont know...
-shakes head-
They see her as she wants them too...
Sex.

-swallows hard-
Oh.
-looks down-
-frowns, worried about how Zacharie wanted sex from HER-

I am nothing like her.
-stares at-
I take what i can for payment, never more then what the goods are worth.
she ruins lives, turns familys to broken things...

Oh.
-quiet, just listens-
....
-leans in, lays head on Zacharie's shoulder-
Are you okay...?
Hurt...?

I am very hurt.
-nods-
But i will live...
How are you..?

Do you need help?
-turns head a little to look at slightly-
....I'm fine.
-frowns, sad-

No...i am going to be okay.
And you are a liar....what is wrong?

Okay.
-frowns-
.....
-pulls away, looks at-
I want to...-hesitates-
Um...I...I like you, I guess.

...You want to what...?
-watches-
I like you also.

-heavy sigh-
....-jerks, looks at-
Zacharie, you don't understand.
I...LIKE you. I want to kiss you and...hold you when you're hurt...

-head tilt-
You shouldnt like me...
-tilts head the other way-
I know what you meant, and i responded.

I know, but I do.
-looks down, sad and ashamed-
....
-closes eyes-
