So cold and distant on the outside, but in actuality, a good person. He was also a demon, like you.... Of course, you are both very different. Unlike him, you are more humble about your strength and are not as rash and are level headed."[/color] She then realized that she was rambling on and stopped herself and blushed slightly. [color=ed1c24]"Ah, I'm sorry. I tend to go on tangents, don't I? To answer your question, simply, my remind me of a boy that I loved and I believe that is why I am able to read you. Though I would like to think it was just luck. I apologize. I didn't realize that you were try to be reserved."[/color]
