"Because it is expected of me." Blake removed the hat and tossed it away. "Now that that has been settled, I would like to inquire, why are you doing this? Is it because of someone? Do you seek to kill or to protect?" He resisted the urge to really treat her like a toddler, "Now, if you are going to ask me why I have decided to aid you, you shall have your answer: because I know things that many don't and also," He straightened up, "I am interested in keeping you alive until you had your revenge."<br/><br/>He ran a hand through his hair, "I shall tell you this one thing, your other half has recieved aid from something else, greater than a human. I will not deny the fact that it could very much rip you apart if it wanted at that instant. So I ask you this, make a pact with me, and I shall ensure your safety until the contract has ended. But think carefully before you agree."
