[ that feels pretty nice actually so he's going to stay right where he is and let him continue to do that. the back of his neck is similar to his chest - scattered with the thin knicks and cuts to draw blood for magic, but most of it is silvery and old, fading back into the skin. ]
Don't make it sound as if I'm going to run off and abandon you like you abandoned your rat family.
[The brushing of his fingers over the scars is more idle than anything, though the idea of spilling blood for some kind of strength makes him a little sad.]
Stop this. What in the... There is no rat family. I don't know what they were even talking about.
[He knows Lucien is teasing him, but he HAS TO MAKE THIS POINT.]
Nothing ever happened while I was there concerning rats and a family!
[ this is making him laugh more, shoulders starting to move with it. ]
I saw an image of a screen with a letter written in your own hand. You threatened your rat family and said you wouldn't be paying child support, because you have a new life now. I suppose this makes me the other woman.
[ things were so serious ... but this is cracking him up ......... ]
HE SITS STRAIGHT UP, INDIGNANT.] What?! [A LETTER PENNED IN HIS OWN HAND?!]
I never wrote such a letter! The only letter I've written sent to them is a single one claiming them as insurance dependents like they requested! It was even signed "Viktor Tavelle" because they kept mentioning whatever a meme wedding is!
[He says this like "meemee" also. WAIT. He freezes, and then he smooshes Lucien's face into his chest so Lucien can't look up to see how red his face gets.]
Anyway, that is the only nonsense letter I have written any of them there, or in my time there. Would you stop laughing?

You left your rat wife and then married me? No wonder you have relationship problems.

[Not letting go of his head because he'll never get rid of the red in his face. Lucien can smother.]
I'm not going to commit infidelity.
