I was joking! I didn't mean it for real... Also, Leo looked at me with such a cold face that I felt awful and wanted to get back at him.
Should I apologise for teasing him and try a run to the bathroom?
«You can't imagine how I feel,» he murmurs. «You just have a couple of attacks a day. But I'm like this almost all the time. And sometimes, I even feel the thirst getting worse.»
Oh, jeez.
«But I won't force you,» he finishes with a grin that's not less devilish than the one from before. «I must have scared you...»
«It's okay,» I mutter and move my arms away from my body. My reaction isn't that different from the one Leo had a few hours ago. I must have offended him so much.
«Okay?» he repeats. Is it hope what I see in his eyes? What is he aiming at, exactly?
«I'm sorry for reacting this way. You surprised me: I didn't expect this.»
