[ She might have already guessed, but he wasn't going to go throwing Rokurou's name around anymore. He wouldn't tell her Rokurou told him about her crying or anything like that. He screwed up and he knows it and that's what this was about...
So from her door, he bows his head a bit with his faded hand in front of his lap as he does so. ]
I'm a grown ass man and I know how stupid it was for me to come to you out of anger like that. My words... I think they came off wrong, but it doesn't excuse me for what I said to you. I apologize for any pain I put you through and for not apologizing sooner...
[That... that was a hell of an apology! A "sorry I was dumb" would have sufficed, but he must have felt bad. Like, really bad.
But it doesn't take her long to cross back over to him to give him a giant hug.]
I'm sorry too. For misunderstanding, and... being part of the reason you were all dragon-y, I... I still feel really bad about that because you're my friend. I don't want to hurt my friends, even if I didn't directly do it.
[ His whole body tenses up when she comes over to hug him. This really put a crick in his whole "lets avoid her as much as possible" plan. He listens to her words and it makes him frown even more. ]
Stop that. Stop that right now.
[ He reached out to grab for her face and tilt it up to look at him, even if... she could only faintly see him... man this would really make more of an impact if this curse of his wouldn't act up so much. ]
The reason why I was like that was because of my own stubbornness. I knew exactly how much the fog was affecting Rokurou, I could see it from the very beginning, but I didn't say anything to anyone until it was too late. I could have ran, I could have left at any moment, but instead I chose to follow him all month long, knowing the risks it would have on my very existence.
I will not let you try and take any blame for my actions.
[She could still be sorry, dang it! It may have been his own stubbornness, but he had said it himself: Rokurou was losing his mind because of the fog and his own feelings for her.]
I can still be sorry for what I did contribute, even if I didn't mean to. You're my friend, and I don't want to hurt my friends. Rokurou saw me first, and ran out of here in a panic because of... I don't even remember [her necklace, but] and then... I don't know what he did. And if in that time, he saw you, then...
Even if he hadn't seen you in that time, it was inevitable that Rokurou would have became that way because of that fog. I'm sure you noticed, but it was changing a lot of people around. He's always been covered in malevolence, but without his right state of mind, he was losing control on how to keep it inside...
[ One of his hands leaves her face only to lightly knock her head with his knuckles. ]
Besides you're the one that brought him back. Without you we would have lost him completely...
Yeah, I noticed... I was kinda weird too, just the opposite of how Rokurou and my sister were. [She was love and justice and so positive, so...] But still-- h-hey!
[Ok, no, Eizen had a point. She had to pull him out of that twice, but if he hadn't, what would have happened? The mark on his shoulder had grown, but he didn't look too different other than that. Not like in the dream she shared with him.]
Do you really think he'd turn into a full daemon if he kept going? And what if you had stayed with him, what happens if you get too filled with malevolence?
Everything works differently in this world so I don't really know, but I have a high suspicion that if you hadn't stepped in, he would have. At the very least he no longer would have been Rokurou...
[ He frowned a little when she brought him up, looking off to the side. ]
Malevolence turns Malakhim into dragons. It's impurity infects them rather quickly and slowly they turn into mindless dragons, unable to recognize anymore.
[Well... that explains some things. It's probably a good thing that no one else really dealt with Rokurou (that she knows of) and that she had found him quick enough, but...]
I think Rokurou said he had an idea to help you, but... has it worked?
[Just gonna look to make sure there's no wings or anything crazy on Eizen because dang it, she doesn't want to lose Eizen to being a dragon!]
That sounds too scary to go through, I don't want you to be a dragon, Eizen.
It's taking a little longer than I'd hoped, but yes. It won't be gone for good, but that's because I already was infected before arriving here, but the new damage should deplete soon enough.
[She won't cry, but instead smiles and Eizen gets another hug. Tighter this time, but not filled with any less love and happiness as the first he got. Hearing that actually sets her mind at ease, considering she really had been worried when she learned about what had happened after Rokurou left her room that day with Eizen, and she had caught sight of the shimmering black wings that he had had after.]
I'm so glad, so you'll be back to normal and... and I'll make sure if Rokurou does that again, I'll punch him for you!
[...it won't be on par with a Lightning punch, but she'll make sure she gets one in for Eizen anyway if Rokurou ever goes daemon crazy again and spreads malevolence on over to the malak.]
[ He's been hesitating this whole time with her being so close, but finally he lets his arms slowly wrap around her in return, swooping her in for a tighter hug. ]
Tch, are you kidding? That wouldn't be punishment for him, he'd like it if you punched him.
Aye, but it'd be different with you. He's an idiot who loves to fight, loves to see the strength of anyone he comes across. If you punched him as a scolding, he'd only act out more.
[ "Step on me Serah" Something like that is what the daemon was probably into. ]
[ There was a awkward look on his face. Were they okay? Would they be okay? It seemed that way, and she... didn't seem to see him any differently than before. ]
[ he shakes his head a little with a soft smile. ]
Nah, I'm done with that. You never should have been pulled into the middle of my stupid fight with him in the first place. I realize now how ridiculous I have been this month...
