I didn't realize you would be able to snap out of it fast enough... *smiles a little* I take it you had some help? Nova, come on out... I can feel you watching us...
*Tries very hard not to say, "But if you ever hurt Nova on purpose, you will have bad time!", succeeding barely*
*sighs, then turns around, walks a small distance, then vanishes*
Heh... Well done Nova... *whispers to Del* Got a thing for im? Heh heh. Don't worry, I won't tell... *grins*
(I'll say he vanished after Jack finished, not seeming to notice what he said, ok?)
*sigh* "I think I know what's bugging him..."
"Since I've known him...he has always thought of himself...well...as a terrifying beast...so when he does make friends, he usually tries his best to not push them away..." *sigh* "Seeing you ready for him to try and kill you when he just wanted to talk probably reinforced those thoughts...but knowing him...he'll bounce back in a few days, at most..."
*What do you know? That's exactly what's happening 
*
*
... Shit... It's just... I've seen him like how he was earlier before... And we nearly ended up killing each other... And this time, he wanted to kill ME, not just rampage... I'd never say this to his face but... I was scared... Scared that I wouldn't be able to hold him off long enough for him to return to his senses...
"I would say quicker, but he left this behind." *Holds up Del's lucky pendant*
*Slides the pendant into his pocket* "Best hold on to this..."
He has gotten so much stronger... I... I didn't know what to do... I just had to hope... That being ready for him was all I needed... Because I know I can't beat him anymore... We sparred a while back... And he destroyed me like I was nothing...
I was afraid... Because I'm not strong enough to beat him anymore...
And I didn't want Mia... To try and throw her life away trying to get revenge, for MY shortcomings...
"Well...that's part of it. He has grown phenomenally since I first saw him, way faster than he should have, even. He is about 3 times as strong as his predicted growth rate shows he should have been by this point..."
