He listened to her, it was the first time in his existence someone had asked him those questions, and he had to pause to actually think before answering. He used the time to steal a soft kiss, little more than their lips pressing to one another. The fingers of his right hand started to drift a lazy pattern on her upper arm. It took him a moment to realize that part of his essence was bleeding off, leaving a sigil that would last the night. It had been centuries since he last left a protection mark on someone. He had so few reasons in the past. She would not see it, but someone, or thing, would actively have to attack her and get through his defenses this evening.<br/><br/><em>I still have control of the forces of this world. Heat and cold, light and darkness. It costs very little to manipulate these things as I do. If I were to become as bright as the sun... that would have a higher cost of course. I can control a bit of the weather, but it was never my calling. And I like the colours Gray and Blue. </em><br/><br/>He thought to himself, that no one had ever asked anything of him save for sex and power. Again this stirred something inside him. It made him want Tegan around him all the more, the answers, the questions, her interest in him confused him because she did not use it to control him.Or did she? Was she weaving a snare even he was unaware of? He thought a moment, and then without hesitation he knew he would walk into that snare if it existed, and he was fine with that. After centuries, eons of perceived time, he was able to stay on the Earth and with someone who did not look to enslave him like a beast.<br/><br/><em>Mentioned two people...do you mean those who I served?</em><br/><br/>He was glad her eyes where closed as the sigil was complete and for a moment the room darkened as the powers where released. Any looking to pierce her mind or her body would be stopped cold until they could break through his protection. It would burn off with the coming of the sun, but it may offer her a some comfort in the evening.
