"Why am I like this?" Kade was furious. At himself, for being so weak, at Jack, for getting hurt, at the man, for trying to claim Jack, at whoever set his castle on fire, or at least attempted to.

Once Jack had been semi healed up, he hobbled towards Kade’s room. He didn’t know why he decided to go, Kade was an asshole but still, he knocked on the door anyway.

Stiffening at the knock on the door, he pulled himself together. After glancing in the mirror by his bed, to make sure he looked normal, Kade walked to the door and opened it. When he saw who it was, he almost slammed the door, but restrained himself. He really wasn't in the emotional state to talk to Jack.

Jack groaned, rolling his eyes as he knocked again, "I get you're probably disappointed I didn't die but I didn't think I looked that bad." He said. He sighed, leaning against the door frame. Why was this man so complicated?

Kade clenched his fists into his hair, gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, taking a sharp breath between his teeth, before pulling himself together. He opened the door. "Hey," he greeted with his custom crooked grin.

Jack narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms and looked up at Kade. He could tel that grin was at least somewhat forced, "So, you wanna tell me why you did it?" He asked.

"Did what?" Kade acted innocent, as if he had no idea what was going on.

"Cut the bullshit. Why'd you save me form the burning room?" He frowned, though it was more of a pout.

"Well, because I want the chance to kill you," Kade said, as if it was obvious. "I don't want you dying in a fire before I can kill you my own way, in my own time." He scoffed. "What, did you think I did it for a reason beyond that?"

For a moment there was almost a flash of disappointment in his eyes but it was gone a moment later, "No. No I didn't." He replied, though his voice almost seemed slightly softer then it had been a moment ago.

"Then why did you ask?" Kade pretended not to notice the change. What did he care, anyways?

He shrugged, "Don't know. Just did. Is there a problem with that?" He tried walking back towards the door, only to collapse onto a near by chair.

"Well yeah. You burst in, demanding to know why I saved you from a burning room, and then seem to be disappointed in the results." Kade shrugged, muscles rippling with the movement. He furrowed his brow as Jack fell, just barely restraining his are you okay. He moved toward the chair. "What'sa matter? Want to stay?"

“I… I’m not disappointed.” He mumbled, wincing and holding in a whimper as he twisted around in the chair, “Why would you want me to stay? Why do you even want to know what’s wrong if you don’t care?”

"I don't particularly want you to stay," he said, shrugging and moving away, to his nightstand, where a small, silver blade sat. He picked it up and examined it as he spoke. "And I don't really care what's wrong. I was just trying to be polite." He glanced back at Jack, and his usual wolfish smile emerged. "You should try it sometime."

Jack sighed, pushing up onto his arms (and whimpering this time) as he stood, “I don’t even know why I bothered. Waste of my time.” He shook his head to himself, using the wall to try and help him to the door.

"I agree," Kade said, looking back to the blade of the knife. The sunlight from the window shone on the metal, and glimmered on his face, making his eyes glow even more than they already did.

“Why do your eyes do that? Glow, I mean.” He asked, resting against the back of the door. It was a question of curiosity, and he didn’t expect an answer but he asked anyway.

Kade pursed his lips, debating what to say, before turning to Jack. "I'm different than most humans," he said plainly.

“Same,” He sunk to the floor, resting his head against the back of the door as a small snowflake appeared and disappeared in his palm, “That’s doesn’t explain why though.”

He watched the snow for a moment before looking back at the knife. He was silent for a while, turning the blade this way and that, before finally speaking. "I… was… cursed, you could say," he said. His voice was calm, but quiet. He shook his head. "It's a long story. But I'm cursed to be something that… that I don't think I'm really supposed to be. It's complicated."

(Ooh! I have an idea! One that could help make Jack understand why Kade's eyes glow! It's super cool!)

(Oh? Do tell!)

Jack tilted his head to the side, resembling that of a lost puppy as he even pouted the slightest bit, “Can you… tell me about it.. please?”

(So, what is one of the enemies of Kade's kingdom attacks them? Like, the entire kingdom? And when everyone is fighting, Kade's side is losing, until he… magicalness stuff XD)

"I don't know if you'd understand," Kade said slowly. He wasn't sure how much he wanted to say. "It does have some benefits, though. Like the power I get from it." He stretched his hand out, and the blade floated into the air, spinning slowly in the air, held up by a glimmer of gold magic.

(ooo cool! I’m down for that!)

Jack watched, honestly slightly in awe as the blade floated, “Wow… it’s so pretty…” He said quietly.

(Sweet!)

Kade blinked, a small, pleased smile crossing his face. A banging sounded on his door, and his face hardened. The knife dropped from the air, landing neatly in his hand, and he turned to the door. "What is it?" He called in annoyance.
"Your Majesty, please," said a panting voice fro outside. "The Creols are attacking Attaran."
