As Zel was turned away from the two girls he was insulting himself in his head and blushing fiercely. Suddenly though, he felt a hand placed on his shoulder. Zel turned around slowly, surprised when the look on her face wasn't what he was expecting. Normally he'd get a freaked out look, a scared look, an angry look, or a look like he'd betrayed them somehow. But this was different, she looked at him like someone would who was trying to consolidate a friend.<br/><br/>Somehow she looked at him with no animosity or anything like that in her eyes. Zel looked at the floor, "I'm a monster," he quietly. Clearly there was some major sensitivity and self-hatred going on here.
