"Huh?" Kalia stared at Kakashi. That was random..."Lovers? As in...no, but I did like a few people, nothing big, just crushes I guess." She blushed a bit, she never told anyone of this. "How about you?

I laughed as she blushed, It was a bit mean, yet, but I couldn't help myself.
Me? Nah. I've liked a few girls, but they never like me back.
I replied with a wave of my hand, speaking casually and with little care. Normal, like it was all true, which it was. true without a doubt.
Hmm... I think I tried to cover the truth to much, there. It was more obvious then if I'd actually said yes. But Kalia wouldn't notice, or so I told myself, convinced that I was acting normally. Normally, right? Turning red is normal.
It was, in fact, my own consciouses and fear that she knew I was lying to her which drove me to leaking out the truth. It might have been wiser to clamp my mouth shut and let her think wanted to and not worry myself over it. But, despite the fact the fact I was excellent at perceiving small details and facts during, say, an assassination, when it came to being just regularly intelligent on a daily bases, I fell flat on my face continually. It was highly unintelligent of me to even try and hide the truth in the first place, and even more unintelligent to then go back, admit I had lied, and reveal what I had been trying to hide int he first place. And, of course, this is all exactly what I did.
Well... actually... there was one girl, back when I was a part of the revenge. We... we became... I guess you would say "involved"
I admitted, blushing myself. Blushing? No, no, that was bad!
I exhaled a breath, trying to calm my own frazzled mind as I attempted to regain my dignity. Hogosha whined, nosing me hard in the ribs as I stopped stroking his head. Demanding little thing, wasn't he? I cast him a glare but resumed, looking up at Kalia cautiously.
So...
I bit my lip, struggling for words. Any words. Spouting nonsense at this point would be acceptable, if even more embarrassing then the "lovers" question.

Kalia has managed to calm herself down, and was now silently laughing with his self struggle. "S-so?" She asked before starting to giggle. After some time she calmed herselef down. "Your funny." Kalia conclueded.

I laughed lightly with her.
Yeah, I guess I am. Fortunate you, you get dinner and entertainment.
I added with a smile. That was me, always there to serve and act stupid.
I leaned back, cracking my back and stretching my arms. The night was moving on without our attention, and already the sky was getting far darker outside. Sunset was almost over, the vibrant hues fading as black overtook them. good, I never liked watching the sunset. It mad me sad. Another day was gone, another 24 hours that I'd never get back. At least at sunrise there was the hope of another tame. Always plenty of time stretching on before, but even then it didn't seem enough. So little could be done in a day anymore. Everything takes time and patience. The former I have to much of, the latter to little of. Never could commit to anything, or anyone for that matter, especially not the girl mentioned in my last statement.
Now it was getting to the hour where I started brooding. It seemed to happen to me eventually, no matter how good the night was, I always found to time to get myself all depressed. It kind of sucked, really.
I flashed a smile to Kalia, leaning forward onto the table as exhaustion tugged at my eyelids. They wanted to shut and allow me to drift off in peace, but I'd be darned if I'd let a night as good as this loose out to sleep.
So, have you traveled a lot, or do you tend to stay in the same place?
There, I'd finally thought of something. It was a few minutes lay, yeah, but at least it was a fully-formed sentence and not gibberish.

"Yea, I've traveled though nearly all land, stoping and visiting, sometimes staying in a sertain place. The land is beautiful...'Kalia nodded in a bit of a dreamy voice remembering her travels. She remembered her first steps on the road that led her here. Thouse few steps that changed Kalia's life for as long as she lives. She remembered the day. Dark clouds hung overhead, threatning to burst out raining and storming, but didn't. The wind was hard, and the trees danced to it... "What about you?"

I chuckled lightly.
I traveled most of my life. Seen a lot of places that way, still haven't found any that have really impressed me though. You've got the Revenge's hideout. Big place, yeah, but kind of dump, you know? The revenge doesn't have the money for a castle like the King's. I've seen his place, too. Big, beautiful, decorative, but cold. So amazingly, mind-numbing cold and lifeless in that place. Almost breaks your heart just.. being in there.
I realized I was starting to ramble a little, and I smiled embarrassedly, glancing back at the fire. Embarrassed? Where was this coming from, hmm? Pretty emotional for a guy without a heart, aren't you?

"No, not at all. Plus from what I heard you have a heart, and relatively warm and lively one. " Kalia shrugged as she looked at the fire, only then realizing that he thought of that. She bit her lower lip half expecting a lecture.

Alright, this time it wasn't so much of a laugh as a snort. It fact, I almost chocked on the ale I had lifted to my lips, so I set the glass down, wiping away the little that had begun to dribble down my chin.
Heh, you don't know that story.
I muttered, giving her no more of a reply. I didn't even scold her for reading my mind. I was actually surprised I didn't, I thought I would have tried to make her forget about my thoughts by drowning them in my anger, but instead I simply.. drew into my own shell.

You could see puzzlement passing over Kalia's face as she looked at Daemon. "Huh? What story?" She was clearly confused at what he was talking about. kalia was also puzzled why he didn't curse or hiss at her.

I glanced at her, arguing with myself over if I should say more or not. It would be so easy to just dismiss her question, refusing to answer and wallowing in the silence it would most certainly bring. Tell me something you've never told anyone else. The words echoed in my head.
It's... a long story.
I replied, biting my lip.

Kalia smiled resuringly. "I've got plenty of time, and I can tell you're not in much of a hurry eather." Why was he behaiving so strangely, and having such strange thoughts? It didn't make sence. she didn't force him to tell her anything or show anything, and yet he did...But on the other hand he's not the first person she'd delt with. People told her things that never told anyone else.

Yeah, exactly the response I hadn't wanted to here. Her words slowly enticed me into speaking, if just a little. But as the memories floating through my mind, bloody images coming to haunt me, I felt myself draw back into my own shell. My eyes glazed slightly, shoulders falling and body tensing. I could feel a presence in the back of my mind, warning me to shut my mouth now. This was all to dangerous.
I killed a man, not so long ago. No, not killed, slaughtered. His blood was everywhere. On me, in the cave, on the floor, on him, on my blade. I don't remember if I mentioned this, but I have a fear of blood. And I couldn't handle that, seeing him like that, with all that blood. So, I stopped caring, I walked out of the cave, and after that I didn't care anymore. There wasn't guilty, or fear, or sorrow. Just... nothing.
I blurted out, if only to defy the demon's warning. There was more to the story then that. I left out the detail that it was in fact my demon which stole my emotions, at my bidding. In the end I figured the outcome was the same: I had destroyed myself.

Kalia didn't say anything insted took his hand and squized it slightly with a reasuring smile. She understood what he said, even if he didn't tell her everything. Kalia looked in the eye but quickly looked way, he didn't need to see that she knew what it was like. She couldn't even find words to say to him...there wasn't anything that would confort him, or churn time back.

The silence seemed to burn in me, like an accusation. I couldn't see her eyes, and I was afraid it was because she was scared of me now. She squeezed my hand, to reassure me? That's what it seemed like, but doubt plagued my mind.
Doubt? Isn't that an emotion? Funny how the demon could be picky like that, holding back love, but letting fear and doubt slip through when it was most useful, or just pleasing, to the vile intruder.
I wanted to rip at my head, as if I could tear the thing out with force. What a spectacle that would be, I'd be sent back to the dungeon for sure. Or worse, sent to the King's courts.
I pulled my hand back, glaring at Kalia as if she was the cause of all this doubt and frustration. As if her touch was conveying such thoughts and feelings into me. But I couldn't hold it, not that long. I feared if I alienated her now, she'd leave, and I'd be alone again in my dark, empty shell.
Feared.
To bad the demon hadn't been smart enough to withhold the feeling that time.
But the burning silence continued, and in desperation, I spoke of anything I could. Words would be my escape.
How long have you been alone?

Kalia smiled gently and looked into the fire. "Some time now." Her voice was quiet and gentle, her lips bearly moving, and eyes looking into the fire. Kalia seemed to grow into a shadow of a small girl who seemed to know that she has done something wrong. I've scared him...Once again, taking it a step too fast with a being who's just imerging...Rushed it to come out of the cacoon and learn to fly the second it's out...
