	Oh yeah, aliens make sense. [ He scoffs. ] Like humans are any better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You tell me. Do you make any sense? I bit you and now you're going for a pint with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm dating the man who killed my girlfriend. Maybe I'm just good at the whole bygones thing.

[And since they've reached the Blood Shack by now he can get the pint in question. It's quiet here today, but then again there are fewer vampires around now. Maybe it doesn't get as much traffic as it used to.] And I started to wonder how much I could actually blame you for a that after the bodyswap thing anyway.

	[ It is empty. Far as he knows, it's just him and Damon left and where that asshole is he never really knows. ] Not as easy to control it as he thought it was, was it? [ He orders a beer, not blood. Call it compassion. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-17 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know if he thought of it that way, but I did. If he couldn't control himself even with a soul and a victim he cared about, what sort of chance did you have at it? [He'd even mentioned it to Jack, but he's not sure they had really looked at it in the same way. Jack has to be the one to make hard decisions about bad guys sometimes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You think a lot, don't you? [ Not a bad thing in this context. He hesitates, filling the beat with a mouthful of beer. ] I'm going to tell you something. If you ever pass it on to someone else, you'll wish Tyki got his hands on you again. Understood? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Too much, sometimes. [He lives in his head less than he used to, which is something he supposed.] [That gets a curious look and a nod.] Understood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He lets his gaze linger on Ianto for a while longer, scrutinizing him to see if he's understood the threat here. Satisfied, he turns his attention to the beer in front of him. ] After I was turned... the first person I killed? Was my mum. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-17 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	[Its more personal than he was expecting, although that's not a bad thing. Mostly he's just surprised he's been trusted with this.] I'm sorry. Can I ask what happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-17 04:20 pm UTC (link)
	She was old... sick. Figured turning her would make her better. It didn't. [ So technically he killed her twice. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-17 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	You turned her to save her? What went wrong? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-17 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	Turning where I'm from means your soul leaves and a demon moves in. You should know that much by now. [ What with the soul business. ] Not everyone takes as well to the demon as I did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-17 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose I didn't really think of it as having nuances like that. I just assumed it was sort of a one demon fits all sort of situation. [A pause as he makes a connection.] You tried to help her even without a soul. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-17 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	[ A Look, before he returns to his beer. ] Not something you brag about where I'm from. Humanity gets you killed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it your personality that influences it? From when you were human, that is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hardly. Mum was the sweetest little lady you could ever imagine and she didn't exactly stay the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-18 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry. [Even as a vampire that just have hurt, especially if he'd cared enough to try it in the first place.] At least you tried to help her. That's got to count for something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-19 10:00 am UTC (link)
	Load of good that did. [ Ugh. ] Anyway... what I'm trying to say is, dealing with the demon isn't as easy as it looks. I got lucky. Most people don't. So... Jack did good. Could've done worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2015-05-19 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	I promise not to tell him you said that. [A smile, but he means it.] Would you go back to the way you were before, given the option? No soul? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ That's a good question. Too good. He shifts in his seat, raking his fingers back through his hair. ]

Here's the thing — I can't answer that. Soon as you lot put that soul in me, I lost the choice. [ Sounds more dramatic than it is, but that's the thing with souls. Once you have it, once all the guilt has settled in, you can't will it away. He knows he deserves this. ]

It's easier without, I'll tell you that much. You see things clearer.

	Sounds like one of those philosophical questions you spend hours talking in circles around. For what it's worth I like you better this way, and I'm glad you're not crazy anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-22 08:16 am UTC (link)
	Oh, you like me better. That makes the intense emotional pain much better. [ Actually it kind of does. ] Not so sure about the crazy. Crazy isn't bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not bad maybe, but it was pretty obnoxious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2015-05-23 02:55 pm UTC (link)
	Try living with it. [ He got off lightly, he knows that much. The crazy back home was a lot worse. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
