In short seconds Asura had regained most of his functions. Such drastic changes were only amplified for people like his mother, making him wonder how they ever managed to blend in with humanity in the first place. He watched her walk out of the bathroom and soon followed her, keeping himself quiet for the time being. Her main concern seemed to be her safety for once, meaning she wasn't asking about things he didn't feel so apt telling her about. Her frustration was still palpable.<br/><br/><b>"They're not after you… yet. But the more you dig, the more likely is that word will circle back to them. When it does… it's going to be hard for me to protect you."</b>Asura sat back on the couch and closed his eyes, rubbing his hands over his face and up through his blond hair.<b>"Right now, anyone you've talked to about any of this, I've been careful to go back and alter their memories, to keep them from at least being able to identify you. Because hell, even if they wouldn't go running to tell on you themselves, there's still the risk they could reveal you without even knowing it."</b><br/><br/>He stopped rubbing his face to look up at her,<b>"Long story short, you're safe for now. No hit list. Not even a watch list, except for mine."</b>As much as he wanted to ignore her accusations, he knew she was probably justified in paranoia. After all, it could have been anyone that was after her. She could have been talking to her best friend and have them turn on her in an instant. If anything, it was smart to question everything, to an extent. His only worry was that<i>she</i>might worry herself to death.<br/><br/><b>"Are we using superhero terms now?"</b>He asked with a raised brow. There was only a faint amount of humor when he answered her,<b>"If that's the case, then you could consider me a vigilante from a long-gone order of protectors. I don't work for anyone; but I uphold a code I was raised with. The same code my mother followed. And a code that is strictly against the 'monsters' that would hurt you. The belief is that <i>we</i> are somehow responsible for the demons of the world, and thus it is our responsibility to protect the world from them. There used to be about a dozen of us on this continent alone… but they're all gone now. I'm what's left."<br/>
