"I see...an' wha' did ye gain? Which powers?" She asked softly. It was nice to just talk to him. It was something she missed about D, his gentle conversational manner.

Thinking on it, Draeken realized he hadn't fully explored everything that he had gotten. "I know I got a bit of everything of his, but I really haven't tested it all out yet. Control of fire, rapid regeneration of tissue, the bone thing, and...Hmm...I'll have to explore."

"I see.." She said softly, she was just going to let him talk, after all what could she possibly say?

Shaking his head and sighing lightly he leaned his head to the side and placed his fist against his chin. "So other than doing battle with spiders and the like, have you done anything interesting recently?"

"Attended Kai's ball...but no...noth'ns really interest'n' in my life...It nev'r really 'as been." She said with a shrug. "'Ow 'ave ye been?"

Laughing a bit he stood up and stepped over to the fire, his back to her. "You asked me that question already once before. Or at least something similar. One or both of us is dodging around something. I enjoy this, really I do, but there's still a tension..."

"Yer tha one tha' won' give me a straight answer D....Draeken." She corrected herself, sure that he didn't want her to use such an informal, personal nickname any longer. "Wha' I dun get is why yer so....calm...."

Wincing at hearing her use his full name, Draeken lowered his head for a moment. Thinking on what she said he took a breath then opened his mouth, about to speak. Nothing came. Looking over his shoulder at her, the fire cast a menacing shadow across his face, his eyes looking much more sunken than they really were. "To be honest...I can't bring myself to stay mad at you. Light, there are times I want to be." He paused for a moment then raised his right hand, balling it into a fist. The sound of bones shifting and cracking under the skin was loud enough to be heard over the crackling of the fire. "You hurt me. Deeply. If I were even a tiny bit like Truinthil, the clone or even the original before his transformation...I'd likely have murdered everyone in sight over the whole ordeal. But I'm not that kind of person." Looking at her again he still looked menacing and almost angry at having said so much about it. Having had to explain it did anger him a bit, but not enough to do anything.

Phia sighed at him and reached over without thinking, setting a gentle hand on his forearm.
"I know it means noth'n to ye D but....I am sorry fer 'urt'n ye....trust me...thar's not a day tha' goes by without me feel'n 'orrible for tha pain I've caused ye an' them..." She said referencing their two children. I jes....I wish I could....I dunno..." She trailed off.

"I won't deny that hearing you say that makes me feel at least a little better..." He twitched a bit when she put her hand on his arm, but let it be. It was comforting, strangely enough. He had honestly missed her touch. He tried telling himself not to miss it, not to enjoy it, but mind over matter was not to be found in this instance.

"It was selfish an' cruel.....but it was nev'r ta 'urt ye three.... I still care 'bout ye...I do..."She said, she just realized her hand was on his arm and made to remove it. "S-Sorrah."

Nodding and making a soft sound of consent he smiled a bit. "I know." As she made to move her hand though, he said something else that surprised himself. "It's alright...I don't mind."

"O-Oh." Phia said with a stutter, her hand was already hovering in the air between her lap and his arm she stared at it as if wondering what to do with it before bringing it to her face and sighing. "God we're awkward." She said with a half-hearted laugh.

Chuckling a bit as well he shrugged. "I guess we are at that. Understandable I guess." Turning from the fire he stood in front of Phia and sat upon the floor looking up at her. "But what to do about the awkwardness?"
