[A few days in the infirmary, a few more days to pull himself together so he can appear in public with an appropriately breezy and vivacious demeanour. But once he's fit for company again he knocks on Rawne's door in the evening after supper. It's a surprise visit and he's dressed nicely for the occasion in dark red trousers paired with a black turtleneck and a black jacket. His pistol is discretely hidden in a shoulder holster under the jacket. He's not going anywhere without it anymore, even just to walk across the hallway.]
[Rawne keeps a hand on his knife when he opens the door, but drops it when he sees that it's Norton. He pulls him into his room and pushes him against the door, kissing him.]
[Norton slides his fingers in Rawne's hair and opens his mouth to the kiss. He lets it go on for about ten seconds before dropping his hands to Rawne's shoulders and gently pushing him away.]
Slow down, soldier. There's time for that later. I want to talk a little bit first.
Renfield's always eager when there's blood involved. [Whereas Norton's bursts of bloodthirstiness are significantly less literal.]
Pagan said something similar to me, about waiting until the wardens are less wary. It's a logical consideration, and you avoid having to take out any uninvolved wardens who are just guarding her. Although Pagan being concerned about consequences now is a novelty.
[Norton lays his hand flat on Rawne's chest and slowly drags it down.]
Just don't leave it too long or else the message will be diluted, or worse, she'll graduate or some nonsense like that.
[It's good to have someone he can rely on for violence. Pagan may be fun, but Norton doesn't trust him to follow through on anything if it became too inconvenient for him. Rawne, however, is loyal.]

I'll kill her myself. And whoever gets in my way.

[He rises on his toes to resume the kissing that he'd put on pause.]

As a...thank you in advance. [Because as far as Norton is concerned there has to be some sort of exchange. That's how things work.]

Fuck me? Please.
