❧ 010 ❧ Video, laptop webcam

[Normally Xander doesn't do video posts for the network, with the exception of showing off his shadow mimicry. This time around, the camera isn't pointed at himself but a kitchen counter filled with several sweet and savory baked goods made of kneaded dough. These weren't any left overs from the party that Kotetsu hosted since he didn't attend.]

I made a lot more than I intended. [The image tilts slightly to the side, as if it was knocked off balanced for some reason. A sigh and a meow is heard before the visual is back to it's original position.] There's a chance I won't be able to eat all of this in the next few days. So... I'm offering to -- [A brief pause, he's torn if he should charge a small sum for it or not.] -- share.

Limited to those who live in Locke, sorry.

[ Ravi thinks about the changes he's already seen in Xander. That incident with the Blood Key is the first thing on his mind. His next question is hesitant, and though he's looking at Xander when he asks it, he's not looking at his face. ]

How do you feel about it?

[dominateartimus]

[There's a sigh as he stashes the butt of the cigarette in to the container.]

Honestly...? I'm terrified of what's happening to me, Savarna. Even though it doesn't look like I am.

[He glances over to the other man.]

[healspec]

[he looks troubled, and he's still not quite meeting Xander's face. he thinks about what happened with Proud, and how at the time he didn't care at all about Proud as a person, only about doing what he thought needed to be done. he thinks about how exasperated he feels dealing with patients now, and remembers that simply helping people used to be enough for him to feel satisfied with where his life had gone.]

I am, too.

[it's quiet, admitted in confidence. he trusts Xander to understand, and to keep it between them]

[dominateartimus]

[He does notice that troubled expression, but doesn't make a comment about it. After all, he wasn't one to pry and he could keep a secret for the most part. So, he pockets the container and brushes any ashes from his fingertips away from the picnic table.]

A lot of people would say the same thing, I think... Becoming something they never imagined. [He releases another sigh and shakes his head slightly.] But, that point is rather obvious.

[This was a horrible attempt at trying to lighten the burden on both of their shoulders. He shouldn't have said anything in the first place.]
