I Promise to stop posting Prefect CONSTANTLY after this one! :C

[buywithme]

[Okay, so Prefect feels really bad about Borging Pavi, and given that Pavi hasn't given him a rapey stare since they got their own minds back, he's still worried about it, ALSO I WANTED AN EXCUSE TO PLAY AT http://www.bureauofcommunication.com SO YOU MAY ASSUME THAT PREFECT HAS DELIVERED THIS APOLOGY:]

Action!

[The Marquis leans close, resting his cheek against the shorter man's temple and rubs his arm, watching with decided satisfaction as Prefect scurries away.] I make him nervous, I think. I shall have to tell you why, sometime. [He lifts his head to look down at him -- not far.] And what was all that about, pet?

Action!

[Pavi makes a pleased little noise at the touch, practically purring with satisfaction. Pet? He can live up to that right now.]

He was the one to...assimilate me. And he was kind enough to offer a 'product or service' in return for my forgiveness, so. [He smiles impishly.] I do not think that was what he had in mind, however.

Action!

Prefect does not deal in intimacies, I'm afraid.

[He smiles to himself -- he really wishes he could get past that, honestly. If anyone could be that man's first, he wouldn't mind it. He wonders what sorts of noises he could make him make.]

How are you feeling?

Action!

I am feeling...better, I think. [Simple, yet true - two adjectives he wouldn't often ascribe to his half of any given conversation, but with the Marquis, the rules feel...different. He pauses.] Thank you.

Action!

[He smiles.] No trouble, Paviche. [Again he stares after Prefect, pensive, but oddly not in the mood to ridicule.] Do you think you will forgive him?

Action!

I do. [He shrugs.] It is true, what I said to him. He was not...himself. None of us were. I cannot blame a person who does not exist any more.

[Of course he was oversimplifying. Of course the person - the drone - that he had been was still in the back of his mind, throbbing like an old scar. And he knew the same would be true of Prefect and Amber and all the others, but...it couldn't really be explained to someone who hadn't experienced it for themselves.]
