Welcome to Gaia! ::

This time there was a faint hint of a smirk. "But..you did just tell me " he said quietly and again the smile faded away as it turned into a worried look as she reached out to him. Automatically he leaned forward slightly and hit her hand with his head like a cat, lightly brushing the living metal on the side of her hand before blinking and pulling back embaressed. That is not what normal people do...but that is what he would have done with Mara or Tri in private. "....Sorry. " he took a breath.

"you could stop me...but at the same time you never did ask me why I looked. " he reached out now to lift the arm of the hoodie close to her face but didn't dry her eyes, looking unsure. "Remember I did say I was the stupid young brother ... and you at least never gave me a reason to wonder about you. Which in a way is ironic....but you are direct"

"....Because of what we talked about in the house. That was mostly you wasn't it? Not Hexxis holding you back " he said asked quietly, pulling his hands in against his stomach now. He didn't believe it was Hexxis, especially not when she controlled herself when Tri appeared, barely. "You held on to your control...and I asked if you wanted to be siblings....friends. I guess I actually consider you a better one than Hexxis. "He said looking faintly confused. "You split now but ....I don't know if you wanted to continue that. That is what I came to ask really. Even if it was stupid...or against my own family's heh advise "

There was a flicker of pain as she mentioned being their own family then the brother comment followed by the realization that there was no way he could combine Ashral and Tri in the same place much less the same room. He wasn't even su- Mara hahaha no.

This was with the assumption they would only be pissed off at him after he sent Hexxis for a hike after someone who was pretty much unfindable instead of like someone like Zephyr. Even if it had been tempting he doubted the Merc deserved getting stabbed by Hexxis....Haven though...

He also didn't pull what Hexxis did, he still had his phone, if they wanted to call her would answer. Actually..maybe he would pass by the hotel room instead of heading to the nearest city. Contact Anadii if it was still there.........

What am I doing?

Looking up at Ashral he watched the flicker of happiness within the pain in her eyes. He was giving her hope...and at the same time he felt himself torn. "Embarrassing? " he asked with a flicker of confusion as he focused on the word."Why?"

Ree looked at her her closely "In a bit. I should check to make sure you are going to be okay during the time I am gone " he said intent,y watching her now as she peaked his curisoity. "Why embaressing?" He resisted the urge to leave forward, yes very smart poke the Malice.

Ree blinked surpised because that was not the answer he had expected at all. "Big sister? Um...no..yes? It doesn't really matter..." He looked confused then very faintly amused. "Don't think to hard about it because if we do then you are older...and younger....and Hexxis is your mother" he made an odd face as he pointed to the left then to the right with his index finger and nearly laughed as he looked to see if she glanced again his way.

"As for the other commands.... I don't think you can fight it unless you really go deep in your subconcious ..or hypnotize yourself to react differently. But 7 years with Spectrum hybrid Haven... That is a long time and a lot of work. " he muttered softly, running his hand through his hair as he got up. "I won't say you have no danger from them, actually the opposite since many of them are common words used in daily life. However, they would not usually be used to address a weapon which they tried to make you and Hexxis....as they -made- you and Hexxis" he frowned looking at her sadly. "If you want I can try to teach you to avoid some of them..." Getting up as he pulled his wings back, wondering why he was offering...staying and knowing that will haunt him as he made his way to the city.

After a while Ree flew back quickly, not taking the time to do short dives and spins to relieve from of the pent up anger as he did when heading to the city. He had only stopped only when he saw a demon with the Teldhet uniform flying into the city a few thousand feet below him, then everything was grabbing things as fast as he could without alerting others.

This time the wind rushing past his face was the only distraction to his thoughts as he carefully held the grocery bag full of things he had managed to steal around the edges of the inhabited areas of the city. A dead city, there was actually so much potential here if anyone ever thought to do something with it. A possibility.

He got everything except the antiseptic which he had to go in and pay for while adding some cheap shirts to the mix as well. Then it was just heading back and the short trek with nothing to think about except what happened now and a few hours ago.

Was he moving on automatic? He felt like he was doing what he should do but at the same time blinding himself to the fact she was a Malice...she wasn't what he was looking for in a friend...but really she was. At least as far as he knew her which wasn't long...add in the danger of her losing control at any time and not being able to bring her to Tri or Mara without them wanting to lock her up. This was a complication he had not put much thought into, believing just like everyone else that Ashral was perfectly okay and likely deeply lost in anger. A quick confirmation and he would hopefully be gone. Not....not this.

He was sure of nothing now. Not of Tri, Mara and Hexxis's reaction when Hexxis awoke nor of Ashral's ability to stay sane and on top of that he should find a time to try and contact Anadii. It wasn't as he didn't trust Tri or Mara to watch it but that it would be a lot worse if they were found with it in their possession, especially if Teldhet kept going south.

Angling he clenched his teeth automatically and took a fortifying breath as he felt the Aura again, not as far if anything just above the house and dove. Stay with her, clean up her wounds, talk to her, talk to Tri tomorrow then see what happens.

Back winging into a landing he made his way to the door and knocked in a silly rhythm before opening the door and looking around quietly. "Back.." He called out, not to frighten her.

Ashral wasn't in sight, that he could tell the moment he walked in. Did she leave? That would be stupid right now even it it prickled at her pride, she should rest a while longer.

Placing the bag on a clean surface of the couch he looked around fighting the need to go look outside first of all since the aura was still here..she was still here. She might have gone looking for the bathroom, at least she wasn't under the couch again. Looking around he headed toward the rooms relieved to be moving away from the smell of blood until he heard a dull blunt up ahead.

"Ashral?" He called out, wings lifting as he prepared to fight. Moving into sight he paused as he spotted her on the ground and pushed himself to the wall she was against before looking inside the room and seeing nothing?

He stared a few moments before pushing off the wall and looking at Ashral. "What happened?" He said alert, having assumed that what had attacked her the first time,collector?, was back again.

Ree frowned and watched Ash then looked toward the bedroom door and uses telekinesis to slam the door closed. Staying away he watched her silently, analyzing her reaction before finally crouching where he is. "Ashral......Ash. " he said said quietly. "......" he started to hum softly the song she taught him back at that house and watched her waiting to see how she reacts.
