And it doesn't hurt?

[He runs a thumb gently along the skin of Royce's throat.]

[bywolves]

No. It doesn't. Barely even hurt when she did it. [ He shifts, tilting his head back just enough to give Alfie access to his throat. It's a very trusting motion - something he doesn't think twice about letting Alfie do. ]

[devoutish]

[It's something he would have at least startled a little over as recently as a few months ago, Alfie thinks. Satisfied, but still frowning, he pulls his hand back.]

Right. Think she'd ever do that when you're not immortal?

[bywolves]

[ He trusts Alfie like he trusts himself, these days. ]

No. I don't. She knew I was going to heal immediately. [ Sniff. ] She wouldn't kill me. She threw such a big fit over Monty killing Bucky.

[devoutish]

Many people will get angry about someone doing something, and then turn round and do the very same thing themselves.

[bywolves]

True. I don't think it's the case with her. Not when I'm able to be killed.

I'll be fine, Alfie.

[devoutish]

Yeah, I know. Just protective, is all.

[bywolves]

I know. I appreciate it. [ Royce says, quieter, curling back up. ] I fuss just as much as you do.

[devoutish]

More than, I should think.

[bywolves]

Probably. You don't hate it.

[devoutish]

Yeah, and you love it.

[bywolves]

Yeah, yeah. [ He nudges Alfie. ] Go to sleep.

[devoutish]

[With completely fake exasperation:]

All right, all right.

[And he will.]
