[Tian's eyes widen a little at that, but then he nods slightly. It made sense that he would see Souji's dream, since he had been instructed to give it to someone he trusted.]
[And that gesture makes the secret in question very, very clear. But after all this - he can't lie about it, not now. So he glances away, swallows audibly]
[quicklog]
I see. It was unusual.
[quicklog]
[quicklog]
Do you keep secrets from me?
[quicklog]
...Only one.
[quicklog]
...why?
[quicklog]
[quicklog]
[quicklog]
I think... I'm used to hiding it. I only told... my brother, here, and one of the medics.
[quicklog]
[Cupping Souji's face, he pulls him a bit closer to kiss. It's oddly gentle, but ends with a fanged nip.]
I am a jealous, possessive creature. Even a dragon has flaws.
[His mouth tightens a bit and he doesn't seem happy about admitting that.]
I will not mention this again. But do not ever keep secrets from me, Souji.
[quicklog]
I won't. And... my illness. It's not contagious. It was one of the first things I asked about.
[quicklog]
[He was too kind to risk such a thing if he thought it was contagious, right? Even if dragons probably couldn't catch human diseases.]
[quicklog]
Of course. And there's medicine for it here, which... I didn't have at home, I think.
[quicklog]
[A smile? It is!]
[quicklog]
They are.
...Did you want to know anything else about the dream?
[quicklog]
[Frown.]
[quicklog]
[quicklog]
[quicklog]
[And there's a little more of an edge there because you weren't even here then]
[quicklog]
Tch. I suppose that makes sense.
[quicklog]
He was someone important to me before - just as you are someone important to me now.
[quicklog]
Thank you.
[quicklog]
You're welcome.
