You grew up in the Demon World, how is nearly shooting your first human in a training accident scarier than that?" Albion asked, literally not understanding this girls' sense of fear. However, he didn't get any time to ponder it before she was adjusting herself on the ground, trying to cling to him... And tugging him down to the ground with her. The last time he'd ever been on the floor like this was in a fight... Naturally this was an entirely different situation for him. *Sigh* Are you really a demon, or just a big baby?"<br/><br/>It was hard to tell, given she was crying against his neck. No one ever cried against his neck... It was a very awkward place to be. His frown was evident on his face, though more out of confusion and less out of frustration, and all he could do was continue to pat her head gently in assurance. "Sometimes I need to be cold and mean to get results... And kindness is awkward for me." After everything he put her through, she at least deserved to be talked to like an equal and not an incompetent student.<br/><br/>"... Heh, you're more attentive than I give you credit for... Very well, my first name is Albion... And as agreed, you may shorten it if you wish. My middle name... Is 'M'. That's all you'll get for now as my middle name was not part of the deal." He left it at that simply, though that only meant that he was leaving something on the table for her to try and discover one day.<br/><br/>After all, if they were going to be friends they needed to spend time to learn things and not have them revealed at once.<br/><br/>Of course the next questions out of her mouth were much more personal ones, and those... He simply could not answer yet. "I'm sorry, but... I can't answer those y- What sre you doing?" the male grunted as he was laid down, Nerissa crawling atop him to lick his cheek clean of the blood her palm smeared upon it. "We just became friends, Nerissa, but that's a little too personal for me..." He had to remind her, but otherwise did not attempt to push her off.<br/><br/>"... I don't get you at all. You barely know me, why go to such lengths?"
