Hearing Dimitri try to rationalize his way out of it had Kane raising a brow, "No, forgiveness is a neutral emotion. It's about letting go to make room for other things. At best it can leave you apathetic." He explained and watched the small tantrum unfold before him. It was adorable really and he enjoyed having Dimitri by the tail even if the other was all bitter about it. "I could have said that yes, but Lucifer can't force me. He gave me a choice to comply or go against his word. It was a test of loyalty and there may be some that make a different choice but I'm not foolish enough to try and cross him." He pointed knowing that the Devil himself couldn't compel him, not really anything, "So it wouldn't be honest and I try to be honest with you." He pointed that out knowing Dimitri wasn't feeling that at this moment.<br/><br/>"I'm not asking you for kindness or mercy, I'm asking to not hold that negativity over me. You can still feel bitter and dislike me for all the previous reasons that I made you squirm but I need you to forgive me for this one." He wasn't going to let this go and Kane had grown to be a very persistent man. He had noticed that the other wasn't weak by being near him and certainly not dying to suck his cock but that didn't matter because right now this was more important to him. "Trust me. I know all too well about curses and how they can cling on to ruin your life." He shrugged at that, "But that doesn't mean you can't find ways to push your limits." He pointed out the pet dragon on his chest, "You certainly don't feel bitter or hate towards him do you? Try and deny it Dimitreaus. You pleaded for his life when I stood over you with murder in my eyes. I didn't forget that so I know you're capable of more." He crossed his arms calling the other out on at least being able to get to a neutral feeling, he never expected anything warm and fuzzy with their situation.
