When she reacted to something else and her gaze darted down him he saw the earbuds in her ears. Great, she had not heard his apology. That's when her did change, and just by her appearance he knew it was going to be even worse than he expected. After recognizing him she quickly got off him as if being in contact with caused her pain. At her first words he gave her an embarrassed smile and shrugged. The earbud was yanked free of her left ear and he started to answer her question when she stopped with her next string of angry questions.<br/><br/>It was the first question in that string that hit him the most, about her hating him. With that he started to get angry himself then the part about him needing to be a demon pushed over the edge. So he stood and rounded on her. “What I'm doing here is apparently the same thing you are, trying to run off last nights frustration! Hate me, it's what I expected and feared! Need to be a demon! I can't help that any more than a dog can help being a dog. You think it's easy turning out to be what you were raised to fear and hate? Well it's not! Hate is how most react to learning that truth about me! I've had to deal with that all my life. So sue me, if I was not in a hurry to correct your presumption that I was an innocent. Of all the people I could have hate me, your hate would be the hardest to bare.” As his own anger came out he had not caught the meaning of her last statement. Like her though his true feeling slipped out as he ranted back at her.
