[ Leonard tries and fails not to squirm, but he feels a little old to be fussed over, even if he's exhausted. It just wouldn't be him if he didn't. He licks his lips, trying to get the worst of the blood from his lips and fangs. Christ, it tastes awful.
And yet, he finds it in him to be a little bit of a sass. He has to, otherwise Karma might worry that he's still in pain, or that something was wrong. ]
You love me. And you look great.
[ He coughs, smiling. Truly, even being called disgusting makes him smile. Karma has seen much, much worse from him. And at least the taste of his own blood isn't mixed with the bile like it would be if he was waking up from a bender. ]
Hope I didn't get any on you, this time.
[ Of course, he's concerned to hear that Eden had also gotten cursed at the same time. That can't have been easy, and Bones knows how frantic running around the castle can be. He knows Karma must have been worried, which is why he reaches and places a hand on their wrist, the touch still tired but gentle, radiating relief and gratitude through their bond. This he can do. Words of gratitude? Not so much.
The change of subject at least makes it so he doesn't have to talk about his feelings. He appreciates it. ]
Yendar? No, I never talk to him.
[ He tries to imagine what series of situations could have led to Xenk Yendar knowing of his curse. Was it because of Jim? ]
The nightmare I was in was with Jim Kirk. [ He coughs again. Ugh, he can feel his throat healing, or trying to heal, and it feels awful. ] Yendar is the one gunning for 'im—word must've gotten to him through Jim.
