Welcome to Gaia! ::

Draekens fingers stopped fidgeting in his pocket for a moment. He shrugged and his fingers resumed their movement. "Oh...This and that. Paying visits to old friends I guess you could say." There was wild light in his eyes then for a moment, but it vanished quickly. "What about yourself?"

Chuckling a bit he shook his head and smiled. "Had a run in with a spider eh? How big, if you don't mind my asking?" He found himself getting unusually comfortable. He wasn't sure if that bothered him or not.

"But you're alright now, of course?" He blinked at himself for that one. It didn't bother him that he still worried about her well being. Well perhaps it did. His mind was all in a jumble of sorts at the moment. Shrugging it off he continued on with the conversation. "I had a rough few days myself a while back. Most of it self inflicted to be honest...Then ended up damn near putting someone through a wall..." He grinned at that one as he remembered his little scuffle against Truinthil. He was actually amazed he managed to even injure that man.

Draeken laughed at her question. He was honestly amused. "You figured out who it was that quick? I didn't even mention his name! I suppose she would be angry. I haven't seen him come round looking for round two though, so I think he may still be a bit messed up."

Suddenly, any nervousness about conversing with Phia left Draeken. "Oh. I don't think that's it. I think he's either still injured or scared. I may have gone to him powerless, beating him only because I had the element of surprise and was in a state where I cared not if I lived or died...But I left his fortress much different." He grinned and held up his right hand. "Remember his little tricks with his bones and the like?" He gave his hand a light wave and suddenly white bone erupted from his fingertips, extending into sharp points. Looking at them for a moment he had a slightly vicious look in his eyes before he closed his fist, allowing the bones to retract back into his hand, leaving no trace of what had just happened. "I've...acquired some of his...traits."

Noticing the flinch she made, he sighed a bit. "Sorry about that. Yes, though, the clone. Broke a few bones, including much of his face. Was actually rather pleasing." He couldn't help but grin again at the memory of it.

Watching the two children go from the room Draeken smiled and wished them both a good night, though Devon was still passed out and didn't hear a thing that had been said anyway. "I guess he did have it coming though...For his role in all that happened in the past year. That really wasn't my motivation for doing what I did, however."

"It wasn't even that really." He smiled a bit more then. "I went specifically to get those abilities. To attain power." Looking to the ceiling he laughed lightly. "I found a way to attain power without having to go through what my ancestor did."
