[He runs his finger over Dave's gem again and still makes no move to get off Dave's lap. Intellectually, Connor knows he should. It's weird, Dave's brother is still somewhere in this apartment, and he should get off Dave's lap. Instead, the parts of him ruled by the sapphire keep him there. He wants to—does he? Is that what he wants, or what the gem wants?
Fuck it. It doesn't matter. He just saved Dave's life, and he's earned the right to perch in Dave's lap like a terrible bird if he wants to. Leaning in so his mouth is by Dave's ear, Connor whispers:]
You owe me a punishment later.
[Not right now, for obvious reasons. But the sapphire makes him bold and free enough to say what he wants. In his mind, this falls under "what you need to do to save him." Not this time, but for the future because he doesn't care about Dave? He thinks he doesn't care about Dave, at least, but he also desperately never wants to do this again.]
