[ there's no romance in evan; maybe there was, fifteen or twenty years ago, but it's long since gone, shriveled into nothing even before the fog. but the idea isn't lost on him, nor is the way survivors manage to keep their heads above water by getting involved, and not just the way they get involved with him.
it's why he makes the joke. why he snorts with laughter when david makes it right back. ]
Nah. Different when I do it.
[ he won't elaborate, partly because he might not be able to. at least not in a way that won't get him punched. it's possessive, proprietary - a reminder of the fact that even if they're not fighting for survival, he's still the most dangerous thing around them.
reasonably certain david's not about to go for the throat more than he already is, evan relaxes minutely. lets one hand pull away from the table to get a hold on david's hip. not a grab, or anything that might bruise, but it's firm enough. keeping him in place. letting him bite, the pain that comes with sharpness less than it should be thanks to the burns and scars. it still sends something spiking through him, but it's probably not as definite as it when their positions are reversed. ]
Guess I ... shouldn't be surprised you're into it.
[ more similarities. that should probably concern him, except he's not paying attention to that. ]
