kristoffer's hand shoots out to grip his arm. it's a faint nuisance while he's working, but he allows it and cleans the wound in quick, professional sweeps. at the question wilmer glances up to meet watery eyes, pausing. "i don't think so. it's not too deep," he assures. he can't say so for certain, but doesn't voice that doubt.
rummaging anew through the kit's contents, wilmer lays out a gauze pad and roll of tape. "you'll be fine."

Will he? He hisses again at that alcohol burning his skin. Is this what it felt like for Corbett?
No.
The alcohol doesn't singe his skin. It doesn't leave marks around his neck. But, it was an even exchange. Neck marks for neck marks, right?
His eyes look up at Wilmer again, searching for any sign of sympathy. "Am I disgusting?" His voice is a whisper, almost inaudible.

it seems silly to him, fixating over a word thrown out in spite, in the heat of the moment. he almost slips, almost asks—is corbett a "filthy monster"?—but that isn't the sort of reassurance kristoffer's fishing for. instead wilmer shakes his head and gently presses the gauze square over the cleaned puncture marks.
there's a flicker of pity in his dark eyes, gone in a blink. "no, you're not." the rip of tape punctuates his reply; he fixes the bandage in place and draws his hands back. "all done."

Somehow, that doesn't reassure him. He still worries. His neck still aches. Kris reaches up and lightly touches that tender area. It stings to touch, but he doesn't really flinch.
"You're a liar," he murmurs as he stands up, eyes looking anywhere but at Wilmer.

"i wouldn't lie." he packs up the first aid kit, shutting the lid with a solid, unyielding click. if only this fiasco were so easily wrapped up, wilmer muses grimly, and stands after kristoffer.
"kristoffer? i apologize on behalf of corbett. i know he regrets it too." he hesitates, certainty faltering, "it was an accident. you wouldn't...speak of what happened, right?"

"An accident?" He asks, eyes glancing up to view Wilmer, curiously. "You believe me when I say that my actions were an accident as well, right?"
It's only fair, don't you think? Kris asks himself this as he ponders his self-worth. "Your strigoi doesn't even enjoy me."
What does he have to lose, personally? Wilmer seems terrified of being found out, but it's just for Corbett and his own skin.
"Do you care about me, Wilmer?"

"you know i do." he means it like a panacea, a cure-all. there's no tremor, no such hesitation in his voice, but his fingers shake slightly. he realizes he's gripping the pebbled surface of the kit too tightly and relaxes his hold.
"we're friends, kristoffer."

The plastic box creaks slightly from that tight grip Wilmer has on it and Kristoffer's eyes glance down to see those digits turning white from the pressure. His gaze lingers there, "Do I?"
If he knows, why did he have to ask? His gaze lifts and pink hues fixate onto caramel ones. "I suppose I have no choice but to believe you."
Though his belief falters. He second guesses Wilmer, eyes drifting down to look at his hands again. They've relaxed, but Kris still feels uneasy. The boy lets his head hang and he looks off to the side. He wants so badly to believe Wilmer, that they have a true friendship that's unbreakable.
"Would you do the same for me if I were in your shoes?" He asks, gaze still pointed down at the polished floor.

he has to dwell on it, and doesn't arrive at any easy conclusion. he's never been able to think clearly through what-ifs and inexistent scenarios, through idle speculation. if it hasn't happened, isn't happening, won't happen, wilmer doesn't care enough.
he tries, though, to give kristoffer an honest answer. "i'm not sure it would happen. if you were the one harboring a strigoi, i wouldn't be trying to make friends with it." there's no accusation in his voice; he states it as a fact.
wilmer heaves a deep breath and smiles tiredly, speaks gently. "you should go home and rest, kristoffer. i—trust you."

"You only say that because you already have Corbett and you can't look past your own nose," he replies sharply, jerking his attention to the other magician's face. His voice rises, squeaking slightly in desperation as he tries to figure out Wilmer.
"I don't want to go home and rest!" Balled fists thrust down as he throws his little tantrum, taking a step towards his supposed friend. "Do you really trust me!? DO YOU?"
Kristoffer feels like he's being pushed out, that he's being a nuisance, not that Wilmer actually cares about his well-being. "Do you actually care if I get rested or do you just want me out of your house?" He can feel the backs of his eyes burning again.
"Tell me the truth."

he doesn't understand why kristoffer is indignant, acting like a child. his own patience wears down to a brittle point, snaps under stress, questions pitched like blows. if wilmer ever had any compassion, pity for his friend, it crumbles now, dried-out like a desert well.
frustration makes him cruel. spine stiff, he marches past the other magician and drops the first aid kit on the table. the box clatters, rattles. "you're being childish. i'm asking you to leave."

He's being indignant because Wilmer is beating around the bush about his honesty. He's being vague and dismissing the questions that are actually the important ones. Kris never brings up this type of questioning and now he does, but his supposed friend is pushing him out? It makes the albino see red.
"You fucking coward," he seethes, walking up to Wilmer so that he can view his face properly. "You're nothing but a coward, running away and hiding. Even now, with Corbett, you're hiding him because you're terrified of what will happen to the both of you. You don't care about me."
At being called childish, Kris' eyes widen and he slaps Wilmer hard across the face, lip trembling and eyes red with water. "I'm being childish?" He asks with a shocked, whispered tone to his voice.

his head snaps with the slap, he flinches at the delivery—and it isn't pain he feels, but the heat of a furnace, embers momentarily sparking in the bowels of a cavernous, cold indifference. wilmer says nothing, levels kristoffer a final glance and shoulders past the other magician. he murmurs a fast, tidy incantation under his breath; immediately after the stench of sulfur rises up from the floorboards and a yellow-eyed djinni steps out of thin air.
pausing at the doorway into the next room, wilmer frames his command without looking back, "zaon. your charge is to see kristoffer out of the house—swiftly, without harming him. that is your only task."
then he leaves the demon to it.

He glares as he's escorted out of the other magician's home, puffy eyes all red-rimmed and watery piercing at the man in the doorway.
"You'll regret this," he murmurs once he passes Wilmer, an honest threat to the albino's tone. "I promise you."
And Kristoffer doesn't ever break his promises.
