"It's better this way," Edmund said stubbornly, not moving from his spot. The slick was uncomfortable now, leaving him feeling empty and unfulfilled, but that's exactly what he would feel like after a perfunctory release at his own hand, when all of his being craved the Lion beside him. Why bother, then. Why trouble Al with his own sexual needs when it wouldn't bring any true relief.
"I'm not suffering," he insisted, and curled in on himself. It wasn't as if he couldn't control himself. He absolutely could. He was stronger than the siren's poison. "Maybe I can sleep it off." As if he was going to sleep at all tonight. "They brought sleeping draughts in the medics' unit. That would be the easiest way, you know. Just knock me out and let the heat work itself out while I'm unconscious."
Edmund spoke matter-of-factly, just short of bitterly. His heat seemed an utterly useless and inconvenient thing, something that had only exacerbated the problems between him and Al. Simplifying the mess for Al's sake was really the only improvement he could see to the situation.
"I'd go get it myself, but for reason you all think I need to be quarantined," he half-joked.
