Draiss leaned forward, and channeled a bit of the Taint. "Thoughts are NOT what I was referring to. I was referring to my infection, my Taint. You know, the thing I have been trying to hunt down and destroy everywhere else. I don't know how I contained it, or if I even really did. It MIGHT just be letting me think it is contained, letting me get comfortable with it, before it swarms through my defenses and causes me to do something terrible."<br/><br/>His eyes inverted their color, the whites of his eyes turning black, and the pupils turning white. "There are things even a god was not meant to know. Sadly, I know them, so I had to drop my personal standards from happy and peaceful to merely functional. I appreciate your offers to help, truly I do, but until I feel like I can successfully either contain my own taint, or purge someone else's without killing them, I will bear my burdens alone."
