Akihiko chuckled at all of Vince's questions. "<span style="color: #00FF00">All in good time.</span>"<br/><br/>He placed his hands together and said, "Itadakimasu," before eating.<br/><br/>Though the comment about being a "cute baby dragon" made him blush a dark red. He quickly covered his face and swallowed quickly so he didn't choke. He cleared his throat and took a swig of his water.<br/><br/>His blush had died down by the time Vince gave his... prayer to the bacon. Then he was blushing again, the praise of how good it tasted sounded like an innuendo.<br/><br/>He cleared his throat again, "<span style="color: #00FF00">Well, I got into a lot of trouble for barbecuing an old friend of the family and Chris laughed it off because he had startled me. Chris and I grew close and basically became brothers. A hundred years later I met Angela... then after I introduced her to Chris and we became the best of friends...</span>" His tone became somber when he said 'Angela', "<span style="color: #00FF00">She stayed with us for several years, then one day I... asked her to marry me...</span>" He paused for a second his eyes glazing over in rememberance.<br/><br/>He shook himself out of the memories and continued, "<span style="color: #00FF00">She told me no and disappeared into oblivion the next day...</span>" Akihiko looked Vince in the eyes, "<span style="color: #00FF00">She was like you Vince, she was an angel-born. One's born of heaven's blood with no wings to fly, but all the skill and prowess of one from above. One's born from human with the powers of healing, light, and individual skills.</span>"<br/><br/>Akihiko paused to let Vince take it all in and eat.<br/>___________<br/><br/>It may not be my usual, but I wanted to finish it bc I want Vince's reaction and the possibility of Chris slamming the door open when EVERYTHING is explained aka age, Mirawan, Angela, etc. etc.
