XXXXXXXXXXXXXXEDWIN ✶ ALEXANDER

As the girl explained the origin of the shadow, Edwin frowned to himself, thinking it through. He'd felt that his grip on the thing was not as great as it should be, but he'd thought perhaps that was because it was something he hadn't made. Learning that his was some sort of spirit of lost soul that had been twisted into a shadow after death changed his thinking considerably. He pushed the thoughts aside to mull over at another time, however, as the girl introduced herself as the Science teacher. If he was surprised that someone who looked so young was a teacher, he was careful not to let it show on his face. When she told him not to be so gloomy, he gave a small, though not entirely genuine, smile. "Not to worry, Dr. Williams. I'm not nearly so gloomy as I look." He responded.
When she called him cute, however, he raised an eyebrow. Not particularly something he heard often, and he'd never given much thought to how he looked, beyond whether he was professional and presentable or not. She offered to treat him to a glass of wine, and he considered how best to answer while her wings disappeared and she turned back to the sludge. He watched with curious interest as she muttered in what he thought might be Latin, though he couldn't be certain, and then turned the sludge to an angelic figure, with then darted into the air and vanished. "As to your very kind offer of a glass of wine, I'm afraid I'll have to decline," he said with a small incline of his head. "There are a good many things I do, but unfortunately drinking is not one of them." He added. In honestly, drinking had a strange effect on his powers, making then inconsistent and almost watery. The last time he'd tried to drink, nearly four years ago, Bane had quite nearly melted out of existence. This, however, was not something he'd say aloud, so he thought it best that it remain an apparent matter of choice, rather than anything else.
If I seem dangerous would you be scared
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
❧ If this problem lies in me
