Starting to really feel the pain, he could feel the deep burn of the work in his shoulders as Faelan chopped through another log. He wasn't sure what log he was on at this point, he didn't care. At this point, he was just chopping to chop. The pain of the handle in his hand every time he hit the wood was invigorating, the sweat seeping into his shirt cooled him off. All of his aggression was going into these poor logs, and he intended on getting it out. Although he'd been at it all day, he'd only just started to calm down when his anger seemed to rear it's head once more. Each chop felt like a pound off his shoulders, and it didn't get any better than this. The palms of his hands were callused enough to resist blistering from the work, but he knew he'd probably starting tearing them if he didn't stop soon. Yet, each swing made his flesh ripple from the force, the rage flowing through the ax into the wood. He couldn't really tell why, his mind was a little numb at this point, but he seemed to get much more pissed, and he just sucked it in, absorbing the rage, letting it fuel his chopping spree.<br/><br/>Thomas honestly didn't know how to react to the demon crying, although Amelia's death him hard, he didn't nearly compare to the woman as Shula did. The closest he could compare it to was the wife of the man he'd possessed. She'd fallen in love with Thomas years before Thomas had ever become Thomas, but when he replaced the man, the wife didn't even notice. It turned out Thomas was the better man, which was saying something considering he was a demon. The actual man had been an abusive one, towards his wife and their only children, but Thomas had become attached to the family. Up until their deaths, he stayed with them, and even kept the form of the actual Thomas when he was sent back into Gehenna. A couple of their pictures still stood around his house, even here. "I don't really know what to say Shula, other than let her live on in your memories. She wouldn't want you down here, tearing yourself apart. She spent her life protecting you, so don't let that be in vain. Make yourself the best damn dragon you can be. It's not your fault, and she knew that it wasn't, which is why she took you in like she did. She loved you Shula, so don't tarnish that by wishing you didn't earn that part of her."
