Megan is quiet for a bit again, trying to find words for this without giving out too many details, because she doesn't particularly want people to know too much. It's not to protect Hilmi, specifically, although the guilt she felt over knowing that people had already done something there hurts -- mostly, it was also an incredibly painful experience and admitting to that kind of vulnerability is something she knows she shouldn't do.
But.
"I slept with this guy. I guess, like. He's not human. Something." She doesn't want to say specifically, for reasons she can't quite articulate -- it's a kind of misplaced protectiveness, like she thinks that if she names anything in particular, people will blame all xenians with it, and considering all xenians is a category she falls into (and faerie, sometimes, even though she's not), well. She has a vested interest in trying to protect the xenian community's reputation. It's not hard to figure out who and what, though. "I guess it gets you, like... addicted. He didn't tell me, and then, like. Fucked off for a week. I thought I was going to die."
She says that passively, like it wasn't I thought I was going to kill myself.
