He was sorely tempted to say it would hurt him more to be lied to...but, the blood wasn't flowing, it was only a stain. If Sola was hiding it for a reason, Johnny had no real grounds to press.

The vampire pulled away suddenly, hands pulling back to take Sola's once more as Johnny's expression melted again into worry and panic....with barely concealed horror beneath the surface.
Why hadn't he asked before?? It was perfectly possible...not that he smelled like it, but that didn't really mean anything.]
Sola...Barry didn't mess with you sexually...did he? And don't hide anything from me-!
[It was important....but, if it was okay for a vampire to pray to God, he was doing it now.]
