This is fine.
What's on your mind?

[hisheartsdesire]

Thank you. I'll be direct.
Did you know Yuri Petrov has returned?

[infomodder]

Yes. He and I have already spoken.

[hisheartsdesire]

Same.
I actually had a chance face-to-face meeting with him.
And I can't help thinking I should be concerned.

[infomodder]

Because of his past with Dorian or something else?

[hisheartsdesire]

Well, yes. Sort of.
He claims he's no threat to my relationship with Dorian.
I'm willing to believe that much.
What I want to know, is if Dorian is safe.
Because I'm certain he wants something from him.
And I'm pretty sure that Dorian's up to something.
I just don't know what.

[Because he doesn't know or understand this dangerous game they play.]

[infomodder]

In my personal and professional opinion, Dorian keeps himself on a sliding scale of danger. The dangers he could face vary, but not that he is in danger. Of course you know him better than I do but I don't believe a moment goes by where Dorian isn't in some sort of danger. Even if that danger is himself.
That being said, I also knew Yuri Petrov quite well when he was first here. We were friends. The man is many things. He isn't a liar.
I know that might sound ridiculous or stupid all things considered, but if Yuri said he was no threat to your relationship, that is exactly what he meant. He never struck me as the type to find infidelity tolerable. I don't believe he'd try to wedge himself in between you. So, just as he says, he is no threat to your relationship on his own.
However, being a threat to your relationship is not the same as being a threat to Dorian.

[hisheartsdesire]

That's what I'd figured.
In the meanwhile, Dorian's worried what Petrov might find out about me.
Perhaps you've missed a certain network post by Drew Warner.
He confessed to having killed me, and we apparently have some sort of pack bond since the incident.
I found out later that he'd also outed me as a vampire, which I might as well mention here because it's true.
At any rate, what are the chances that Petrov may target me?

[infomodder]

I was gone for a while. I don't usually miss anything on the Network, I just haven't quite caught up yet. I'll find it.
Lunatic targets specific individuals. Sinners who take the lives of others.
So if you've ever killed anyone, he may target you.
That only works if he has a way to know you've done it and that his facts aren't wrong.

[hisheartsdesire]

If I've ever killed anyone, is that it?
Ever in this world, or ever as in anywhere?

[infomodder]

Ever, as in ever in your entire life.
And if you try to get in his way.

[hisheartsdesire]

I appreciate your candor.
Only somewhat related to something I'd mentioned earlier, but do you know anyone who might have any knowledge about pack bonds?
Someone who isn't Drew Warner, of course.

[infomodder]

Any time.
Not unless this works the same way regular wolves/dog-like animals who move in packs do, no. I can't be of help there. And I don't think I know anyone who would.

[hisheartsdesire]

No, I don't think it works like that.
More like a voice screaming in my head, and another set of emotions contending with my own.
So I guess it's a little too different.
Anyway, thanks for your time and help.

[infomodder]

[Wow, just smash his buttons with a hammer, why don't you? But he realizes this whole pack bond can't be the same as what Will had with Hannibal. Sounds more difficult to ignore, bury down. Something more natural than memory palace sharing.]

I'll keep an eye out for anyone else who talks about being non-human like that.
You're welcome, any time.

[hisheartsdesire]

Unrelated, but are you always so accommodating to others?
You've answered my questions, offered me shelter and assistance.
Do you fancy a drink again, sometime? It's the least I could do.

[infomodder]

When there is no reason for me to be unaccommodating, I do what I can.
I'm always up for getting drinks.

[because he's a blooming alcoholic aw]

[hisheartsdesire]

[Is it better or worse not to know what reasons Will might have for being unaccommodating?]

Good. It's about the only thing I can have with other people anyway.

[You know, that isn't other people. Surely Will could relate; not that Toby knows anything about it.]

[infomodder]

[Better, definitely.]

Just let me know whenever is good for you.

[Yes...he can...unfortunately...]
