Kane wasn't about to argue about being stubborn, he couldn't help but smirk a little at the insult because it was true or at least he had worked on himself to make it true when before he was prone to giving up too easily. He had flaws in his own personality being prone to long depressive episodes was one of them. It had eaten a large chunk of his life away and somehow he found it easier to be fond of people who couldn't return his affections. Maybe it was toxic, but it certainly felt easy to give love away to someone who couldn't even tell what give he was receiving. The question about why he wanted forgiveness just highlighted how clueless Dimitri was about his growing feelings. It was a simple question but confessing the full truth would do neither of them any good. "Because I want you to, and I like you Dimitri. You certainly make things interesting around here." He shrugged like it was the most obvious thing in the world.<br/><br/>"And I accept your forgiveness and don't care if it's just because you vowed it." He somehow doubted the other wouldn't feel anything if the dragon died, he had seen the way he had plead with his fear in his eyes as he made a promise to keep his loving pet out of Kane's rampage. He never had the expectation that Dimitri would even feel that towards him and for the first time in a long time he was fine with that outcome. "Now that we have that out of the way, you should show me come of your potion-making. I'm curious but never had a talent for it. Share with me? You don't have to get all into the secret stuff." He knew that Dimitri was smart with a talent for magic that Kane lacked. He knew how to do some basic castings but he never had a proper teacher for it since his house lacked the talent.
