[bloodstone]

You and I are of one mind, Jace.

[vermax]

( he would easily agree and let it go but something about the statement hits a pool of pettiness in his gut — annoyance too. ) In terms of many things, it seems.

[bloodstone]

Speak what is on your mind. Don’t bore me with word games.

[vermax]

The new mark on your neck is a familiar one.

[bloodstone]

How is it familiar to you?

[vermax]

I know exactly what it is. And that it is Aemond’s.

[bloodstone]

And how have you come to know such a thing?

[vermax]

It matches one on mine own flesh from the night of the monster bash.

Or is yours from another night? ( have you been indulging, hm???? )

[bloodstone]

I do imagine that was the only time Aemond had the teeth to scar, yes.

[vermax]

You avoid the question, Daemon. ( at least the real one he’s asking. )

[bloodstone]

Alright, yes. He bit me. Does that pain you so, when you share the same mark?

[vermax]

That is not what pains me.

[bloodstone]

Speak your mind. What pains you?

[vermax]

That you sought your comforts not with the family who understood each loss you faced keenly, but Aemond instead. ( he’s not mad, daemon, just disappointed. )

[bloodstone]

Do you think a bite from a vampire a comfort? I didn’t think that was your taste.

[vermax]

You deflect again and know little of my tastes.

[bloodstone]

Have I not told you the truth?

[vermax]

Not plainly, as you demand of me. Twice you wound me, Daemon.

[bloodstone]

I have said all that is to say. He was a monster, and I was bitten.
