[ look, just about anyone in his position would be... upset, to put it lightly? following a pretty sudden capture, being tied up and roughly dragged to some pretentious vampire office can't mean anything good. he's not sure why his presence is specifically requested, either; they were looking for him, that much is sure, though the two vampires serving as his escorts clearly prefer to tease than reveal any actual information.

at the very least, they could spare him the ropes? he's fairly positive he can't hurt anyone bare-handed, anyway -- nor outrun a vampire, for that matter? lazy ho.

crowley doesn't look particularly apologetic about it, neither; nor does he sound like it, his speech given clearly for the sake of formalities rather than trying to be genuine.

he's too busy staring at the taller man's fangs to truly process any of this, anyway. so long?? ]


Huh? Oh, no. I'm not scared. [ try irritated, though the other's question does make him quirk an eyebrow. different -- it's not the first time he's heard this, nor does it surprise him that a vampire can tell. still -- it's not exactly information he's willing to reveal with his life on the line, either.

it puts someone else in danger, too -- on top of possibly being damning to him in the first place.

so he's silent, for a few moments, gaze wandering from crowley to all the walls and details of his office. there's really no good answer to that, is there? ]


She can't, can she? [ he speaks up, after the pause, humming in thought. ] Humanity is low on numbers as it is. Killing me here wouldn't do you any favors, right?

[ it's a bit of a long shot, but it's not as if he's got anything to lose. except his life. ]

Anyway, you've got it all wrong. I'm pretty normal, see?

[ sun exposure as punishment sounds kind of ridiculous, doesn't it? he keeps forgetting that he's surrounded by vampires -- that, by all means, sitting in the sun is probably not... entirely pleasant, for them. still, that doesn't put him in a good position; he's lost the trading card he could use to bargain, and now he's back to square one.

or... not exactly, as his situation worsens pretty fast.

with a small hiss, he glances down at crowley's foot, grimacing as the vampire puts pressure on his thigh. it's not extremely painful, but if the bone breaks, he knows it will be -- it's possibly the worst place for an injury like that, really. sucking in a sharp breath, he tips his head up to look at the other again, forcing a small, tense smile. ]


Are you sure you're not simply making things up to torment someone? It sounds really weird, you know. [ he has to think about lyria, and what revealing their connection would mean to her -- which, inevitably boils down to danger.

it's fine if he takes the brunt of it, as long as she's safe. ]


I am telling the truth. You simply choose not to believe me. [ his hands strain against the ropes again, itching to shove crowley's foot off of his leg. ] Are you sure someone's scent didn't simply rub off on me, earlier?

[ (that video voice) it was at this moment gran knew... he fucked up.

except, no amount of fuck ups are enough to deter him from protecting lyria, so -- for him, it's still a good tradeoff. crowley doesn't look particularly pleased, but it's not as if gran expected him to be happy about being denied; rather, it'd be much stranger if he didn't show any annoyance by now. ]


I wouldn't know. [ he's no vampire, so he can't tell what they can and cannot smell? that being said, it's worrying crowley can tell anything at all -- since that means the others can, too.

he's going to worry about possible future problems once they arrive, though, tipping his head up as prompted to look at the other. ]


And what would that solve? Will you be able to tell anything if you bite me, or are you hoping to scare me into talking? [ as much as he wants lyria safe, he doesn't want to become dinner, either? ]

[ crowley's not wrong -- though he does seem a bit jaded about the idea. his experiences and past are unknown to gran, but it's not as if it matters; their lives are separate, and he has a good reason to keep his mouth shut.

it's fine if crowley knows; as long as he has no way of tracking it back to lyria, gran thinks it's... not the worst case scenario. there isn't much he can do about it, right now -- surrounded by three vampires, it's probably best to stay put.

have fun crouching down, though?? they're like fucking 30 cm apart rip. ]


You're going to be disappointed, you know. [ he tries to sound composed, heart picking up pace despite his seemingly relaxed demeanor. he's not scared, he tells himself -- it's fine if he just stays still, right? ] Considering you made sure to get me tied up, I don't think that's an option, anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would if I could, but --

[ ahem. ]

[ crowley biting him is something he'd already prepared himself for -- the other warned him, after all, and while there's nothing he can do about the kind of blood that flows through his veins now, he can at least make up excuses. crowley inviting one of the other vampires to do it with him... is another story entirely? he glances behind his shoulder, eyes widening as a soft body presses against his back, just barely hiding traces of panic from otherwise anxious expression.

lbr, chess is probably more scary than crowley -- mostly because she strikes gran as the volatile, careless sort. ]


That's -- [ no, actually, he has no idea what to say to this. he can't promise not to squirm, considering that it'll probably hurt, and... it's not as if it matters, anyway. he doesn't feel like they regard his opinion very highly -- so instead of protesting, he decides to grit his teeth and bear it, exhaling a weak whine when both of them bite into his neck.

the sensation itself isn't that awful -- he's been through worse, including actually dying, but it's painful regardless. in the end, he can't help but move around; tip his head back a little further to ease the sting in his scalp, body jerking uncomfortably.

he's not sure how much of his blood is human and how much isn't. how much inside of him changed ever since his soul has merged with lyria's and -- by extension -- a primal beast. he knows that lyria can probably tell he's hurt right now; feels an odd headache coming, as something thrums inside of his mind, clearly displeased. whatever happens, he hopes she doesn't come to look for him -- and that he'll never feel the painful pull of having the second part of your existence hurt. ]


Hah... why don't you? Interested? [ when they finally part (it's not unlike pulling leeches away from your skin --), gran glances up at crowley, ignoring the unpleasant burn of multiple bitemarks, as well as the blood still escaping open wounds.

ok, wait. he thought this was meant to be the punishment? ]


What? [ crowley's not wrong; gran can withstand more than an average human, just barely dizzy from the sudden blood loss he'd just experienced. regardless, that doesn't mean he wants to be subjected to any more, listen. he expects the worst, though. ] ... aren't you done? I got it, it's bad to lie.

[ wait, wait -- strip him? ]

Hey, what are you gonna do? You won't figure out what I am just by looking at me, you know. [ naked or not. still though, he can't help but begin moving his hands a little, in a fruitless attempts to undo the ropes. the other vampires joining in on this make him understandably concerned. ] Can't we -- talk it out one on one --

[ it's not the first time he's been treated differently based on what he is -- though never... like this. people have asked him what he is before; people have called him a monster, an abomination, a singularity -- cruel, kind, undeserving. none of that particularly matters, to gran; as long as he can keep his crew safe, and lyria most of all, taking the brunt of it doesn't seem that bad. she has endured years of experiments, after all -- this... is nothing, and if he could take the burden entirely onto his shoulders, he would in a heartbeat.

unfortunately, they're still two. and as long as they're two, while technically being one, he can't let himself die. the connection means that if he dies, so does lyria -- so no, he's not very eager to mess with three vampires at once, the odds obvious without him having to do any calculations. ]


... that's fine. [ if that's their deal -- life in exchange for being kept -- then gran's not going to argue. better him than someone else; possibly someone without this kind of capacity to recover and withstand damage.

plus, he's not particularly disinclined to believe crowley. the vampire seems to dislike lying as a whole; and when he says there's someone worse than him out there, gran doesn't doubt it for a second. at least he's still in one piece? and while he'd never think that the repercussions of being inhuman would be... like this, he'd at least expected them to come, eventually.

the actual problem now is dealing with the three of them all at once? but, well -- maybe if he listens, nothing drastic will happen. the third female certainly doesn't seem excited to participate. he can feel deceptively thin arms sneaking around him, chess' strength certainly impressive even when she's not particularly trying; he wasn't going to move, anyway, though his body does jerk instinctively when she begins stripping him. ]


Hey, these are the only clothes I have -- [ they didn't let him pack before coming here?? that said, he does... try to sit patiently while she tears them off, grimacing slightly at the sudden amount of exposed skin.

'animals below them,' crowley says. 'pet' is certainly far away from 'monster.' it's an awful downgrade, gran thinks. ]


What do you want from me, anyway? What the hell am I supposed to be listening to? [ he's not going to talk, so anything else is fine, but -- what does crowley want instead? ] ... hah. I think it's natural to not have a death wish, isn't it? [ it's only half a lie? or rather than a lie, it's simply... omitting the other truth.

he does say it completely casually, though. sounding persuasive is hard when you're half-naked and surrounded by people who could easily kill you -- ]


Now that you know the truth, shouldn't you assume the opposite? That I won't do what humans do. That seems like the safer bet, right?

[ it's kind of hard to believe in crowley's kindness right now, but gran's not about to argue about that, either -- at the very least, he's still alive, so... that probably counts for something? his expression remains... mostly skeptical, anyway; hesitant, as the vampire's nails trace shapes across his chest. ]

What kind of a sad stereotype is that? [ 'impossible for us vampires' OK EDWARD

that almost makes gran feel bad for him, for a change -- that's not a good mindset to be stuck in? look? granted, he doesn't know much about vampires, but somehow, he also doubts it's the species that dictate what emotion they can and can't feel. in reality, it's probably simply because crowley is old as balls -- too jaded to believe in anything positive, gran would say.

this probably isn't the time to take educated guesses about that, though. he winces, startled, when chess squeezes his thighs, only now realizing horn has sat down right next to them, too. like this, he really does feel surrounded -- gaze wandering from one vampire to another, body resisting every urge to struggle and run for... his life? his death? probably.

the attention flusters him more than anything else -- he knows he's probably embarrassingly red, especially when they begin to pull his pants off. horn's tongue against his neck doesn't feel bad, either; she's gentle, as opposed to the ones who made the wounds in the first place, but... still... he does obey though, and raises his hips to make slipping the material off a little easier, bending his knees appropriately. ]


... while you watch? That's... messed up. [ not that this situation isn't to begin with, though admittedly it's not what he'd expected to get for lying. if he were to name it, he'd say this is more of a reward than a punishment? ]
