When Ashton lamented about how their lives would be tied together Kane panting still turned to him with the most serious expression saying, "I certainly would hope so... because he is mine." It was by far the most outward possession he showed anyone and he had damn well meant it even if it felt like his body was still have speared and trying to heal from it. His eyes darted back quickly to Dimitri who was now awake and cursing his existence. Really, he shouldn't have been surprised. Though he frowned as the other started to berate his own worth and sat down on the bed beside him as he still felt like he couldn't catch a full breath from the amount of energy he exerted trying to save his ungrateful ass.<br/><br/>Moving to his hand he removed a ring off his mind finger, he didn't wear many things, having various piercings but not much daily wear outside of it. "Look at this ring." He waited for Dimitri to stop blocking him out and pouting and really look at it. The thing was brass, and the main 'head' of it looked like the back of a bullet of some variety. It didn't look fancy and certainly didn't seem enchanted with any magic. "This ring is worthless to almost everyone on the planet. Someone might buy it for a dollar at a flea market out of curiosity at best." He flipped it around in his digits as he spoke. "Yet I wear it every day and it's rarely left my person if I can help it. It's made from the bullet casing of the shot that my asshole father decided to put through my mothers head and I got to witness." His eyes locked with Dimitri unflinching.<br/><br/>"I carried it around for months after in my pocket going to school and hoping to somehow take it back or maybe that it was the key evidence I could give to the police or FBI or someone that would care about the case... of course none of those things happened but my point is, that this ring has immense value to me. I get to decide what is worth something to me and I find value in and will want to have every day in my life and what is discarded trash. You might not see yourself worth a damn but you can't tell me what I find worth in." He said quietly challenging Dimitri to try and contradict him on it.
