[ This is all kinds of awkward for Sasha to be doing and she feels guilty for not informing Laurie about this. It feels a bit like sneaking behind her back, but it's also only texting. It isn't a face-to-face conversation. ]

hello tobias its sasha

[ ... small talk, right. ]

how are you?

[It takes him a bit to reply because of all his conflicting feelings, and he doesn't know what good could come of being in touch with Sasha at a time like this, but he gives in.]

Hello, Sasha.
I'm surviving, I guess.
How are you? Hopefully well, you and Laurie.

[He manages not to type, "Bet the house has been peaceful without me. That must be really nice."]

youre living with dorian now arent you?
were both fine thank you

[ Don't be PA, Toby! ]

Yeah. Well, I've moved in with him.
He's been away, though he didn't explain why at first.
Now he says it was because of a hostage situation.
At least you two are doing all right.
That's really good to hear.

is he okay now? i think i saw him but so much was happening at the time
the woman who took over the hotel could control people

[He feels a pang of guilt after that message. There's no way he could possibly face Dorian now.]

Probably.
If I'm honest, I can't say I really know.

did he not come home yet?

I don't know because I'm not home.
I don't expect that I will be anytime soon.

you left? why?

Someone's been taking care of me because I've needed to feed.
He's known about my condition since we first met.
And so, he volunteered in case I ever needed help.

thats not dorian?

Dorian couldn't possibly feed me whilst being held hostage.
So no, not Dorian. Someone else.

is it safe?
sorry i dont understand it

Yes, he's fine. Perfectly safe.
Another immortal, one who isn't quite like Dorian or myself.
He also regenerates and can handle the blood loss.
I asked if it was all right, I keep asking just to make sure.

so he cant become

sorry

I get it, you just want to be sure.

[No really, he gets it. She still doesn't trust him, and why should she?]

He's already something else.
Maybe that's why he won't turn.
Now that I think about it, I don't know how it works with imPorts.

i dont want anyone getting hurt thats all
im sorry for being so blunt tobias
have you fed from many imports?

It's fine. [It isn't, really.]
Only three.
Dorian and two other breeds of immortals.
The one I'm with now and Dorian volunteer their blood.
And I have to negotiate deals with the other if I want his.
I try to do that sparingly since the mess back at your place.

negotiate deals? that sounds

[ Shady? ]

is this person trustworthy themselves?

[Dammit, how is he supposed to answer this?]

If I'm to be perfectly honest, then the answer is that I don't really know.
Things with him are somewhat complicated.
But he's not all bad. And sometimes accidents happen.
I'm really sorry about the mess back then, by the way.
It would've made much more sense if I'd taken it outside.
Bad judgment call on my part.

[He wonders why he's still apologizing when he doesn't live with them, and they made it perfectly clear that he's the problem. Hearing anything sketchy about anyone else involved only continues to build their case against him.]

[ Hang on a second. She's slowly putting two and two together. ]

tobias did that person you made a deal with do that back then

[ Was there someone else in the house then? ]

He didn't do it on purpose.
It happened on our way out.

what happened?

[He is so ashamed.]

The deal I made was that I got to feed in exchange for him to use some magic on me.
The magic didn't quite work out the way he'd expected, I think.
I died.
He couldn't just leave me there for you two to deal with.
So I think most of the mess was from him trying to get me out of the house.
