I've been meaning to say. Congratulations.

[dinosize]

Fuck off.

[400yearsofsurvival]

I've been watching you. And I must say...I'm impressed.

[dinosize]

[ Silence. No response. ]

[400yearsofsurvival]

Until you, I didn't know demotion was an option.

[dinosize]

Well, I'm a special case.

[400yearsofsurvival]

I've noticed. I've also noticed you've been rather...tight lipped on what happened.

[dinosize]

Well, you know, I really do just love sharing.

[400yearsofsurvival]

[ A low chuckle ]

And what did you share with Lydia to make her think I had anything to do with...your little incident?

[dinosize]

She saw the bite that you so cleverly left.

[400yearsofsurvival]

The old one.

[dinosize]

She must've jumped to conclusions.

[400yearsofsurvival]

That I made you attack an inmate.

[dinosize]

...conclusions not so far off from reality. Since you did try to make me do something.

Can't help but notice I haven't become vampiric.

[400yearsofsurvival]

I didn't make you do anything, Stephen. That was all you.

[dinosize]

I said you tried.

[400yearsofsurvival]

Still. It had nothing to do with Vex. Did it?

[dinosize]

Shockingly, not everything I do is about you.

This was about what Vex said to me.

[400yearsofsurvival]

And what did he say?

[dinosize]

You weren't the only one who wanted to take a snack.

[400yearsofsurvival]

There's more to it than that, Stephen.

[ Because if that were case Lydia, Allison, and Stiles would have all been demoted. ]

[dinosize]

Vex's sort feeds from humans.

[400yearsofsurvival]

Do his methods not...hurt enough for your tastes?

[dinosize]

I got sick of it. Of the both of you.

[400yearsofsurvival]

[ After a lengthy pause. His voice dripping with proud amusement. ]

He figured you out.

[dinosize]

Fuck off.
