Karkat still wants to do a blood transfusion with someone. You should talk to him about it when you meet up. He wanted it to go to you or Alfie.

I dunno when I can get out to actually do one.

[bywolves]

He's mentioned it to me a few times.

I don't trust anybody but you to do it, so it'll have to wait until you can.

[jumpthegun]

[That is both bracing and inconvenient. Then again, there's really no one else. Stephen's hands shake too much, Mary's forgotten being a nurse, and John wouldn't put House and Royce in a room with a sharp object ever. Ever.]

Okay. I'll try to sort out what I need to asap. I'm sorry it's all taken so long.

[bywolves]

Don't rush. [ He says, and this is firm. ] Take care of yourself first. I'll survive until you can do it. I'm not going to force you to stop what you're doing in order to switch my blood out for someone else's.

[jumpthegun]

You wouldn't be forcing me to do anything, Royce.

[There would be more emotion in that statement if it were spoken instead of typed.]

I'm sorry. I'm a little tired just now. Anything else I can do for you? Otherwise I'll just keep an eye out for when we can meet up, yeah?

[bywolves]

You can talk to me. If you need to.

[ He says it awkwardly, because he's not used to offering this to anybody, but it's genuine. ]

Other than that, no. I'm fine. Keep an eye out.

[jumpthegun]

I don't know what there is to talk about, mate. Maybe later. I'll let you know why I can head your way.

[bywolves]

Yeah. All right.

[ Bit of an Alfieism there. ] Do that, then. I'll talk to you later, John.

[jumpthegun]

Take care and keep warm, Royce.

[He hangs up in favor or wallowing in his personal abject misery.]
