[ she doesn't like *that* implication, so her tone goes from sing song to sharp in seconds flat. ] Did someone hurt you, ..? [ her eyes narrow and her tentacles stop their random and languid movements, instead all turning in levity's direction. ]
[Hi tentacles... Levity would get a little flustered about them if he wasn't so busy thinking about the fact that D.Va might be hurt. Levity opens his mouth--then pauses, trying to figure out if it's okay to say the name. Absinthe did say D.Va doesn't know anything about his past... but then again, just the name should be fine. It's not like he wouldn't say it when confronting the man, anyway.]
...no, [ she combs her eyes over him, looking to see if he's hurt, because her anger is building. she didn't think absinthe would hurt levity and so of course there had to be someone or something else here. ] but if he hurt you, then I'm going to hurt him. [ she tightens her grip on the bonesaw, which is definitely sporting her pink blood on it. ]
Don't... don't worry about this. [ she tries to fix her outfit a bit, so the wounds aren't nearly as visible. ] It's not nearly as bad as it looks. I'm sorry to have worried you.
[He breathes out, relieved, and comes closer to gently take her by the shoulders - provided he's not going to be aggravating the wounds like that. He feels pretty shaken, between the adrenaline and the anger and the horror at the things about Somnus that Absinthe told him about.]
What happened?..
[Oh god oh please.]
Absinthe didn't hurt you, did he? I asked him not to--
[There's a hint of frustrated desperation in his voice. Can his friends!! Stop being like this!!!]
[ as soon as he's within reach she's going to drag him into a hug. she's relieved he's alright, and the tentacles soon follow suit and pull him even closer. ] No. He didn't hurt me. Or, rather, he wouldn't have done so if I hadn't suggested it. I asked him about his hunger... about the constant pain he feels because of it... and then offered to share a snack with him. [ she removes a hand from around him and drags it along one of the wounds, catching some blood, and then turns to offer it to him. ] I'm not like most people. I'm better. [ a chuckle at that. ] I know you're still probably a little hungry too, no, because the pain... it never really goes away. Just have a taste, Levity. I only want to help. [ don't make her smear the blood on her lips and kiss him, because she will!!! ]
[WHY IS EVERYONE HE KNOWS LIKE THIS!!! Levity hugs her back readily at first, finding extra comfort in the way the tentacles hold him, too - but he tenses in surprise when D.Va decides to offer him some blood. And, to his shame--knowing that this is a manner of a dream does help. And blood is... blood is better. Blood can be replenished. It's not like actually, active harming her...
But most of all, he is hungry. He did manage to make himself eat a little bit of Lucifel earlier, closing his eyes and pretending very very hard it's not people meat he's eating, but... it's been a while since then now, and he's brought himself into contact with more oats. Anger at Somnus helped him ignore the hunger somewhat, but sharpened it at the same time, that desire to take--
He breathes in sharply, which is not a very good idea when D.Va's bloodied fingers are so close to his face.
Just a taste? Just a taste. Just a taste. It's not like... and he needs to be able to think clearly when they face Somnus...
Levity still looks conflicted about it, but does eventually close his eyes, leaning in to lick the blood off D.Va's fingers gently.]
...good. [ she purrs against the side of his head as he licks her fingers clean of the blood. it's sweet. kind of like bubblegum. definitely not like normal blood, but he probably could have guessed as much from the color. she smiles and turns her head, kissing the side of his as she shudders. the tentacles also shudder, tightening their grip for a fraction of a second and then loosening it. ]
Go ahead and take some more, Levity. [ she eases back, but only a bit, so she can look him in the eyes and kiss him. ] No one else is going to harm you here, and I'll take care of Somnus. And if you're by my side, then there's nothing that can stop me. I need your strength, so please... drink [ eat. ] up.
[He makes a surprised noise at the fact that it tastes sweet - and that does help, too, it makes it easier to close his mind to the fact that he's drinking his girlfriend's blood? But then again, he would do the same for her. He offered to do the same for Absinthe, too. Maybe it's not... not quite so strange.
Wouldn't it make him a hypocrite to be afraid of doing what he would have others do to him, anyway? Is that fair?
Besides, it's... nice to have D.Va close. She's soft and warm in his arms and she's holding him so tightly, too, and he cares a lot for her--and it goes both ways, doesn't it?
Levity feels slightly lightheaded, a little like during the mistletoe game, and there's a similar feeling of just... wanting to do what feels right in the moment.
Instead of an answer at first Levity dips his head to kiss her again, cupping her face in his hands - gentle at first, then a little more insistent.]
Just... promise me to be careful. Please. For me.
[He murmurs as he strokes D.Va's cheeks with his thumbs, leans in to give her a quick peck on the lips again... and then slowly leans down to her shoulder, closing his eyes and lapping gently at the wound there.]
[ so it sounds like the both of them had offered absinthe something to eat...and she just decided, to hell with it, and hacked herself up a bit to give him ( and herself ) a little snack. she had been borderline starving at the time and she knows, from experience, that absinthe tastes terrible... so a bit of self vore is self care, no? especially if she tastes this sweet! ]
Promise. [ murmured against his lips and in between kisses. ] As I said, I'll have you there to back me up. I'm not going to let him get away with hurting you. No one is allowed to hurt you. [ she sets a hand on the one he has on her cheek, gently stroking it and giving him a small smile. turning her head just a little bit she kisses the inside of his palm. ] But we'll deal with him after. [ chu ♥ ] Right now... right now this is about you. [ her hand moves to the back of his hand, cradling it gently as he leans down to lap at the wound on her shoulder. ] I'll always make you feel better, Levity, and now's no exception.
[levity makes a small, soft noise at her touch, slides his hands down her body to wrap his arms around her protectively. He feels strange, and this place has been altogether too surreal, to the point he's not sure what is real anymore... and so Levity tries to take refuge in some semblance of normalcy, of affection and care.
But her blood tastes nice, sweet and warm under his tongue and it both quells the hunger and makes it worse. Levity finds himself working her skin with his lips gently, trying to coax more of her blood out - he's not yet so far gone that he'd be willing to bite into the flesh.]
[ she feels horrible that this is his first real terribad experience in tokyo-f, but she's also ssssomewhat glad that she's here to be able to help... assuming that she's capable of making it better before making it worse. she's acutely aware that she's not *always* the best when it comes to that in high pressure situations, but she's doing anything & everything she can to make the experience a little less traumatizing for him and, not only that, she's also glad absinthe managed to talk him down a bit. ]
[ mentally sound, in my imeeji, IT'S LESS LIKELY THAN YOU THINK. ]
[ she goes along with him with no complaints whatsoever, draping her arms over his shoulders and leaning into him, because the closeness is incredibly nice. it's probably one of the only few genuinely nice things to have happened here so far. ]
As long as you're feeling better, Levity, then we can stop. I just don't want you to hurt yourself, because you think you can best the hunger. Did something happen after we got separated? You... seem to be on edge... [ and that's putting it mildly. ]

Re: between trauma raids/mingle idk
D.Va?!
[Oh god oh fuck don't tell him--]
D-Did he get you too?!
[He's going to be Very Angry at Somnus.]

Re: between trauma raids/mingle idk
Somnus. In the flower field. Did he hurt you?

Re: between trauma raids/mingle idk
[ but even though she's feeling relatively blasé about the entire experience in absinthe's heart ( meeting lucifel aside ) she is glad for the close contact, and she oozes into his arms, giving him an affectionate nuzzle. ] ...s'not that bad, ne, tastes pretty nice... since it's, like, not like the normal stuff. s'Better, because [ snickers. ] I'm better. [ she turns her head and gives him another kiss. ]
Re: between trauma raids/mingle idk
Levity is also Not Feeling Very Okay, so in fact he's going to sit down on the lobby couch, drawing D.Va with him to straddle his lap. This is fine?
Her blood is sweet and her... flesh... is soft and warm and he doesn't know how he's supposed to feel.]
I... I don't want to hurt you, D.Va... p-please. Please...
