"What do I think?" Ike stood and brushed himself off, "I think we should have been told. Or at least our parents."
He sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
"It explains a little, but leaves a lot...up in the air. I don't really get it. Any of it."
Specific questions would have to wait until Birvan appeared ready to answer them.

"It deals a lot with Jabir's private life and with the nature of the agreement. He did a great sacrifice but he doesn't want other to pity or act differently around him. That's why we can't tell, it would raise awkward questions about painful memories of his past"
"But unlike him I believe you guys deserve some answers. He meddled with things far beyond himself"

"Jabir's the reason we're all still alive. Him and Maggie. He has to confront pain, or it isn't gonna go away!" Ike threw his arms up in frustration, "We wouldn't look at him any differently, either! No differently than anyone else looks at...anyone else!"
That would make very little sense to anyone who hadn't been through quite what he and his friends had, he knew.
"I don't like secrets."

"It's not a matter of pain really. You must understand he has been treated like a monster for nearly his whole life, like a being that deserved little or no consideration. That was his reality and still is in a way. The last thing he wants is having more than his already weird features to catch the others eyes"
"And I don't think someone knowing he's blind would still act the same"
Birvan ruffled Ike's hair slightly at his last comment
"No one does, but everyone has secrets... including me"

"We all will be. Always. Maybe not to the same degree, but it comes with the fangs and the fur and the scales..." he snorted, feeling Birvan's hand on his head.
"I know. That doesn't mean we have to like it."

"Yeah, but you haven't got that pointed out your whole life or suffered physical and mental humiliation for it. That scarred him a lot... specially when his habbits started to change"
"True, but this are for your own protection"

"I've barely lived at all yet!" Ike snorted. This anger was his own, he knew. And he didn't like it.
"A secret that was kept for my own good is what ended up getting me posessed and ******** up my childhood."
The boy clapped his hands over his mouth. The curse had just slipped. Really, it had.
"Sorry."

Birvan couldn't help to grin. Ike was too young and unexperienced to understand what he really meant
"Appology taken. But I can't really go over the details of the agreement, not with you, not with your friends and not even with your guardians. Information is power and the choice and price Jabir took can have dangerous consequences if it's known"
"But are there any more details you want to know? Ones I am not forbidden to answer?"

"Just how powerful are these 'them' you kept mentioning?" Ike asked, fingers twitching and lower lip beginning to quiver.
He didn't like "them"s any more than he liked "him"s. Especially "them"s with power. Frankly, he was terrified of getting in the middle of trouble again. He was terrified that something was going to happen to the Mishaps, their parents...Birvan, even?

"Never met them really, only found out about their existance after Jabir established the agreement, so I never had the chance to measure their power or in with ways it's extended. But I do have..."
He halted before he started revealing too much about the subject. What they did and the way they did it was suspicious
"Anyway measures were taken to keep you safe, even from them. Too much awry magic concentrated in one place is bound to attract unwanted attention"

"I know," Ike's voice went amazingly quiet.
"I should be getting back to my room. My mum will be coming down after me soon if I don't," the little albino scuffed his foot against the floor, "It was nice seeing you again, no matter what the circumstances."
He turned and began walking toward the stairs.

"Alright. You know where to find me in case you want to chat. Good company is always appreciated"
He was about to head to the main door when he suddently remembered
"And Ike, be careful with the information you share. Jabir already has too much on his mind to worry about"

Ike minded the warning, but pushed it to the back of his brain. He would save it for the impending guilt trip.
He had to tell everyone...at least those he trusted.
...and that's precisely what he was going to go do.
