"I'm not going to hurt him again," Derlik promised gently.
"I'm not going to hurt him again," Derlik promised gently.
Smoke still looked a little worried, looking up at Derlik with those golden eyes of his.
Derlik gently patted Smoke's head.
"He's going to be okay, Smoke. I'm not going to hurt him, and I won't let anyone else either."
Smoke nodded a little bit. "Promise?" He asked softly. "Enough people hurt him already, he doesn't need someone else to."
"I promise." Derlik patted Smoke's head again lightly, moving him and the soul off his lap.
He moved away, sitting down on the boulder.
Derlik hummed faintly, poking the soul in Smoke's hands.
"What will you end up doing with it?" He asked.
Smoke looked up at him for a moment. "Uhm…I don't know." he replied, shrugging.
"Okay. I still think it'd make a good toy." Derlik patted Smoke's head lightly.
Smoke shrugged again, looking down at the soul.
Derlik hummed faintly.
"They don't really do much unless you make them," he said.
He cocked his head faintly. "Oh."
Derlik tilted his head a bit.
"Want to see?"
He blinked a few times. "Uhm…I don't know…"
Derlik wrapped his arms gently around Smoke, petting him a bit.
"It'll be interesting," he said.
Smoke frowned faintly. "But…"
"Yes?" Derlik tilted his head a bit. "I won't be mean to it, if you don't want me to."
Smoke shrugged a little. "I don't know…"
"Okay, okay." Derlik patted Smoke's head lightly.
Smoke peered down at the soul again, turning it in his hands.
The soul didn't do anything, just resting in Smoke's hands for now. Derlik hummed faintly.
"Here, want me to show you?"
Smoke thought for a moment, then nodded a little. "Yeah, sure." he replied with a shrug, holiding it out to Derlik.
Derlik reached out, lightly tapping the soul. This would let him unfold, and actually respond to what been happening to him.
Smoke watched quietly, unsure what to say.
The man was, unsurprisingly, terrified. Derlik had killed him, after all. Derlik sat back a bit.
"It's yours, what do your want to do?" The man shrunk away. The death… Hadn't been a pretty one.
