you asked about my experiences.

[ he thinks that says enough. ]

[interpersonally]

Hard enough to draw blood?

[mislay]

like i said, this place is going to make you uncomfortable.
but yes. hard enough to draw blood.

[interpersonally]

I never said it made me uncomfortable. I'm just trying to understand what you were made to do. Is the person you bit okay?

[mislay]

[ he means it in the sense that he's the one who was uncomfortable, but anyway. ]

i don't know why they wouldn't be.
i have more control than that.

i needed blood. it wasn't really my choice, but it happened.

[interpersonally]

You needed blood

[mislay]

yes?

[interpersonally]

Do you usually need blood?

[mislay]

unfortunately.
i can't say i even remember what food tastes like now.

[interpersonally]

You can't?

[mislay]

not by choice.
which is why i prefer consent for anything.

[interpersonally]

right

[mislay]

[ he realizes it's not the best topic of conversation, but it's the truth. ]

anyway, you should be careful who you talk to about these things.

[interpersonally]

how so?

[mislay]

see the initial message you didn't even send me.

[interpersonally]

While a nuisance, it doesn't feel dangerous.

[mislay]

i never said i was dangerous.

[interpersonally]

Do you fear losing your choice? In biting or in anything else?

[mislay]

isn't it normal to want to keep those things where you have a hold on them?
hurting someone isn't something i like.

[interpersonally]

I think, part of what this city believes is some people want to cede control.

[mislay]

do you share that opinion? about control, i mean.

[interpersonally]

there's a time and place when trust is built
