[Would that L was thinking about his Bonded in Crenshaw, in the abandoned house without water or power where he is hiding tonight.

Paul's message comes when he's spent an undetermined time blacked out, faceplanted into a couch he was pushing toward the door to barricade the room. That's what makes the most sense right now, after all; a wounded animal can't just open his dwelling and his life for predators to pick him clean. No, more than ever he absolutely must guard his stumps and bloody bones.

He's in a mode where he's gathering and holding everything close. No moonlight in the room means that everything is washed in alarming red. He feels bad, weak and nauseous, and the answer feels like closing everyone out who could possibly come for him, for the purpose of helping or harming.

That's why when he answers Paul with shaky, slow fingers, it probably seems pretty unconvincing.]
