Rose took a seat where Sasha indicated. Quite glad for the bit of space Varian was giving him right now. He looked at him and said nothing. Listening as the guy started telling a tale that tore at his heart strings. He felt for the boys in the story. His face fell and it was clear he felt for the twins in the story. That he felt sympathy and even a desire to help them if only he had been there to do so. He curled up in the chair petting a sleeping Nisha. He didn't feel anything but sorrow for them. He didn't say anything for awhile. She wasn't comfortable for that and it was clear. It was even clearer that he wanted to take away their curse somehow. He looked at him. "Yes I can. Tales of similar things are told in Japan. Oni...they are called." He said softly.<br/><br/>Curling up in the chair a bit more. "There are ways to break curses control even if the curse itself cannot be lifted. A break in said curse would keep history from repeating anymore." He shook his head. "I don't do magic anymore though. People get hurt with magic. Even the good magic harms those it helps somehow." He looked down. "I am going to guess you and your brother have the same curse. It is scary yes but moreover...I just wish to help." He said softly. "I can't though. My magic is too dangerous. I wouldn't use magic again save to help people I really loved and only if I could find no other option that would be helpful. Magic took mother from me and my family."<br/><br/>He looked at Varian. "You and your brother must have the same curse because it is the only rational explanation for what happened earlier...which was scary." He looked at Varian. "I don't hate either of you because of a curse that is beyond your control...it doesn't make it any easier to trust you though." He sighed a bit. "I will try hard to adjust but oni of any kind I have never encountered save when my mother used the soul of one for an alchemic spell." He shook his head. "It didn't work right...anyways...I don't even hate you for virtually holding me hostage. Hate is an emotion I have not any accustmation to. I have never felt hatred. Strong disliking but never hatred."
