Yes, I'm rather pleased I'm not dead too, [ Rupert agrees cheerfully. He takes the second glass of brandy with a 'is this for me?' quirk of his brows and settles on the edge of Archie's mattress. ]
I'll try to give you something of a warning next time.
[ Because, yeah, there will definitely be a next time. Rupert knows what Rupert is about. ]
Uh huh. I'd have to feed ya to Muk and bones make him sick.
[gross.]
I'd appreciate it, but don't worry about it. One time some guy showed up with his arm blown off. That was fucked up. I was still finding bone fragments in the carpet for weeks after...
[ Christ, that's -- disgusting. But Rupert takes it gamely in his stride and even manages to slide a sympathetic hand on to the healer's knee. His expression is one of mock pious solemnity as he shakes his head. ]
Oh dear, you poor soul. Whatever can I do to make up for such trauma?
You'll have the finest bed linen in all the land, I promise.
[ Bleeding out isn't exhausting, fighting some BASTARD with your own superpowers all over a fucking museum is exhausting. Rupert smiles blandly and pats Archie's knee. ]
And no thank you, it's quite all right. My bed is only a portal away. [ He lifts his eyebrows, adding: ] Unless you'd like a blowjob before I go?

Y'can stay here if you want-- I know how almost bleeding out is exhausting.

Begone, thot. I'll expect those on my doorstep by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
