David still wasn't used to much human touch. So again, his mind's first reaction was to blink away. But he didn't. He could recognize Ace being a little exhausted. While he still had the adrenaline pumping through his system from burning a house. He wasn't certain to what degree his emotions and actions were influenced by his powers. Sure, what he said to Ace was probably because of them. Due to the hormonal cocktail of adrenaline and endorphins in his body. But with Luciel, he wasn't so sure.

He was grateful though. For the fact that Ace cared. In some way, he hoped he could return the favor. But was release control, even just a little bit, really that bad? Could it be a necessary evil? He knew that almost everything in life was in a moral gray area. When one action is allowed but when is it not? Those were questions that haunted him at night.

"I'll think about what you said...I really will." he told her, with a smile he hoped felt comforting. Slowly he picked her up from her legs, and carried her towards the couch. Where he put her down and covered her with a blanket. "Rest up. We're moving out tomorrow." He didn't leave her side though. He remained in the living. He had the first shift, and he was going to keep his promise. Despite that he really wanted to sleep.
