Summary
"You look tired," Sylus said.
"I'm fine."
"You're pale," Sylus's hand came up without preamble, fingers curling around Caleb's jaw and turning his face slightly, examining him the way one might examine something that belonged to them. Caleb resisted the urge to pull away, mostly because pulling away would have meant admitting it bothered him, and he'd learned that Sylus found his irritation more entertaining than anything else.
"I said I'm fine," Caleb repeated, more quietly.
"And I heard you," Sylus released his jaw with an almost leisurely slowness, hand dropping to rest on the back of the sofa behind Caleb's shoulders, "That doesn't mean you are."
Caleb felt a surge of irritation, how could this vampire possibly know what he’s feeling, "I came before it got bad I think that's enough."
"Progress," Sylus agreed, "It means you're being sensible instead of punishing yourself."
"I'm not sure sensible is the right word for any part of this,” Caleb couldn't even laugh.
"No," Sylus conceded, "Perhaps not."
