...The version more akin to who he was in my reality, then. I met him.
[Still not sure how to feel about that!!! He's glad he's in his human shape because his tail would be doing things right now if he wasn't.]
...I am sure you already know why I am here, but I wanted to offer you my apologies for what I put you through. Candy or not, I caused you great suffering. I wanted to make sure you didn't need further healing first and foremost, though.
Is that what you want? compensation? I will give you what you ask, but I will not apologize to you for the both of you. I will have to speak to him myself. You both deserve apologies directly, if he's willing to meet with me.
....At the time, the sign didn't particularly mean much to me after eating so much candy. But I want to make this right however I can. Is it silver you want?
[Honestly? He deserves that anger. He still winces slightly at the sharp sound however.]
I will speak to him. I would not feel right if I did not apologize to all I caused harm to.
Silver doesn't fix trauma, but it helps. I'll take a promise you won't do it again too, but that's worth as much as tissue paper if you get drugged again.
I intend to be more careful about what I imbibe in in the future, but you're right. There may be times I do not get a choice. in which case...
[He stares into his cup of iced tea, reaching into his pocket for his silver pouch.]
...In the event I ever try to harm you again, you should call Dan Feng. He is stronger than I and my 'Master': His words will stop me in my tracks, as much as I hate it. [He Hates This a lot actually, but it's only fair to Lyle to give him contingencies for his sense of safety.] That or if my tail is out, you should attack that. I'll likely stop doing anything else to protect it.
[That thanks feels... wrong. Ill-fitting. He's not deserving of it at all.]
Don't thank me. This is only me trying to do what little I can to give you some peace of mind. I do not wish to cause others harm, and it's now quite clear my curiosity is a danger if I have no limits on it.
[He opens his silver pouch, sending Lyle a questioning look. How much does he want?]
[Considering how much money he's put into the house so far, he doesn't have an earth shattering amount on him. but he will be tipping the pouch over to empty it, only taking a small handful for himself.]

But you should talk to Brant. He'll appreciate knowing you're not some fucking psychopath.
