"you know seeing you hurting is hard for me too. But having you hurt and not even knowing or being able to comfort you..." Kane shook his head still shocked at the strength and depth of his feelings after such a short time. He let out a sigh of relief seeing Ab full of food and content. It finally felt like that part of their ordeal is over. "we can't allow the council to do that to you again. You were in such a bad state..." He knew that Ab was a lot stronger than be seemed but he was not immortal. "I don't want this to seem like punishment but I think we should hold off on anything intimate till you feel fully recovered." Kane knew he was being overly concerned but it had been hard seeing him yesterday like that, bloodied and infected.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Drake really wanted to believe the angel. After all the man had never lied to him before, heck it was almost against his code of conduct to lie and yet... All he could do was nod in turn knowing that Gabe wanted the approval and his faith in him. Things were not so black and white like angels tended to see it. He wondered who would be to blame in the end if something went down... If he could resist not so much Dimitri resist him. The man didn't have warm feelings for anyone. "It's alright. It will be alright." He felt like Gabriel needed the assurance more than the vampire did.
