[...ah. That'll make him just...run his fingers along your cheek, all right.]
I had a feeling that might be it. I don't blame you for being worried about that, either.
[Since....you know. Sanguis. Sycamore will fall silent for a moment, while he thinks. Sometimes it's best to make sure the words end up in the right order, etc.]
I know you know I wouldn't blame you in the slightest, but I also know you'd still never forgive yourself.
[...]
For what it's worth, I've only ever heard about Sanguis being truly violent in the direction of others, not their intimate partner. I know that's still not a good thing, but...well. If it helps to ease your mind, a little bit.
I've heard that as well, but the possessiveness aspect is troubling in that regard. I can see where that has potential to go poorly, under the right circumstances.
[Oh, that is nice, isn't it. Pet name well-chosen; good job Lysandre, damn.
...Anyway, he doesn't seem to find the question deserving of the Groves, exactly, it's just something he has to think about for a moment, with regards to how he wants to phrase things.]
I don't. But I prefer to have control over as many aspects of a situation as I can; that extends to people. I can usually control it well enough; I can't guarantee it will remain so under Sanguis.
[...ah. Sycamore clearly isn't bothered by that admission; if anything, he's interested.]
That makes sense, actually, in terms of something that would likely be intensified by Sanguis. I've found the best fuel for the moonblessings tends to be existing traits or feelings that align with them, so.
[That, and he's not all that surprised to learn you're a...a little bit of a control freak, mon cheri (such a good pet name), he. kind of knew that already....the thought makes him laugh softly, shifting his fingers from your cheek, back to the cravat.]
You know I tend to be a bit of tease, at times...it's something I can definitely rein in, if you think it might trigger something nasty from Sanguis.
I'm not certain, honestly. Again, it's one of those things that I find difficult to predict until I know exactly how it tends to behave and manifest.
[He likes patterns and concrete data. Part of the reason he liked working with technology, really; either it works or it doesn't, and there's usually a quantifiable reason why.]
...We really do tend to like to ascribe reason to all of this, don't we.
We're going to start naming the theories, at this point.
[He can think of a few suitably salacious ones. Anyway...]
Well. Don't worry too much about it. We can work up to being alone at the peak of Sanguis; for now, as long as you send me a message or two, I'll be satisfied.
[...that is such a good pet-name, and he is going to skip his way home thinking about how they've shifted from mon ami to mon cheri. It's like Mega Evolution!
...
...no, he's not going to describe it as such aloud. Anyway...]
Good.
[...is this ill-advised, because of Sanguis? Perhaps, but...if he thinks about it for too long he'll lose his nerve and there is no way he's leaving without doing this, so. Have a (suitable!) goodbye kiss, you; nothing too over-the-top, but definitely far longer than that peck from before.]

[And he does mean that.]
I'd just like the occasional text message. To know you're all right.

I admit that I'm concerned about hurting you eventually. During Sanguis.

...you don't have to answer this, if you think it's a question better suited for the Groves.
[You know....Goat Time.]
But do you consider yourself a jealous person, mon cheri?

I'll let you know if something goes poorly on this end, though if I tell you not to come over, there's likely a reason why.

[It will kill him, but...he will respect your request.
...]
...I should probably head off; give you a bit of space. But you will keep up the contact, right?
[He'll actually look quite serious, about that one! Hand on your face, and everything. This is a serious request, Lysandre!]

Of course, mon cheri. I'll do what I can.

I'll leave you with the macarons.
