Welcome to Gaia! ::

Draeken looked around, holding on to Sairys' arm now to keep her from falling. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was a light laugh, but turned into a loud one. It only lasted several seconds, his laughter, but by the end of it a tear had rolled down his left cheek. "Of course. I had to step into a library. Figures."

Turning away from her and starting to walk away, planning on ignoring the offer for first aid, Draeken hesitated. He couldn't continue on this self destructive path forever, no matter how much it kept his mind off of things. Or rather temporarily distracted him from things. Lowering his head for a moment before turning back around and raising his head again he nodded. "Yes...I could use a bit of tending to." He glanced at his arm then shrugged, brushing some of his hair from his face. "Perhaps also a bath or shower as well if such facilities are available."

He took her hand, though it was hesitantly, before following her from the library. He had no idea what was going through her mind, even if her memory was messed up. And the mention of labs didn't exactly comfort him either, but he was sure she meant him no harm. He could fight his way back out if he needed to, but something told him he wouldnt have to do that.

Sairys was beeing very helpful. It was indeed strange to be so near an enemy. Or was she now a former enemy? It was too early to tell. However, he would graciously, though quietly thank her for her assistance then and begin removing his jacket and shirt. Within minute he had started using the needle and thread he found in the medical kit to sew his shoulder shut. It had already almost stopped bleeding, but was plenty deep enough to require stitches. He hardly had the hand for this as Phia or even Ari would have had. It was a sloppy job and he winced sharply more than once as he patched himself up. It would do though. It would be the first scar on his new body. It wasn't even anything to be proud of or brag about. He had tried fighting with a beast just to see what he was made of anymore and had just about gotten himself killed. Maybe that's what he had really wanted. He shook his head at himself and finished up the sloppy stitches before getting completely undressed and getting into the shower.

Some time later, he emerged from the shower, looking much better, though in truth he didn't feel that way. As he was dying himself a thought occurred to him. A thought that put a smile on his lips that looked more sinister than happy. "That just might work...Heh."

Stepping through the shadows from the lab to one of the rooms Sairys had mentioned, Draeken thought for some time. Whether to leave. Whether to stay and rest. Whether to follow through with the idea that had occurred to him earlier. "Choices, choices. Always...Choices." He looked at the door with a stare reminiscent of the time Truinthil had turned him from his normal self. A stare that held no warmth or kindness. "Choices."

It would be quite suddenly that Draeken would appear standing next to Sairys' door, his back against the wall. "Hello." He had his head bowed and eyes closed, his arms crossed over his chest. "Is there more you need from me this night, or shall I just retire for now?" He opened one eye and looked at her, his stare holding only a little more warmth than before.

Draeken shrugged. "I know little of your wrong doings except that you've most always been allied with my enemies. My main concerns were always keeping my family safe and dealing with threats as they came." He paused for a moment then turned his head to face her. "Perhaps though, you could tell me something? Just what are you? I can't say that I ever knew. Human? Some sort of vampire? Something else? I am very curious."

"Hmm...Interesting. Originally a vampire...Given some of Truinthil's traits..." Draeken thought for a time then pushed himself off the wall, turning to face Sairys, leaning in close. "An interesting blend. Perhaps a dangerous concoction of powers and races. You know what all Truinthil is made up of...right?"
