[@13org]

Lusius was busy moping and hoenstly just feeling horrible about this whole thing. Not that he did anything wrong,  btu what had come of it. Maybe that was the worst part too... He only wanted to do good and in his eyes he still did, yet fate and others would deem punishments for him that he didn't deserve. Even with what he saved and still had left it hurt. Why should he be punished for his good deeds? Unless it was a punishment given to him for what he was... Sure Phoebe didn't know but some other force may and it could be striking at him, hurting him.

That was when he heard Shai walk gingerly up behind him, speaking in her soft tones to him. She really did have a beautiful and calming voice, but even that wasn't enough to pull him up from this rut. After all this was her fault just as it was his. In fact if he didn't bring her to his home then that crazy bitch wouldn't have attacked it. At that moment he wanted to reel around and throw all of these misfortunes on her. Rising to his feet he said in an angry tone, [color=red]"You want to know what happened! You happened! That crazy bitch Phoebe came here for you and did this to kill you!"[/color] With those hurtful words said he turned away from her putting a hand on his forehead and pacing around, not wanting to even look at her. Yet as she continued to speak he knew this wasn't her fault... not at all. She couldn't help who she was and she helped him, not only that she helped save Seren's Folly. It was himself that made the mistakes, hurting Shai and making her vulnerable when she was helping him, leading Phoebe to his home, not killing Phoebe when he had the chance...

In that moment he turned to her, [color=red]"I'm sorry. This isn't your fault. You are not to blame for any of this."[/color] Then came the awkward silence, leaving the opened house dead for words until Shai spoke up again, talking about losing possessions and how losing the past may be able to bring a brighter future. In fact that was something he'd never thought about. All his life he let his past haunt and torture him, but he'd never be able to let it go, not even now. He wanted to, but he couldn't do it... not alone. That was when she offered her help. Not with letting go of his past, but with his home, help rebuilding what he lost so that he could move forward instead of wallowing in self pity.

Letting out a pained sigh he walked towards Shai, trying to keep his eyes from drifting anywhere they shouldn't, but her warm smile made his task much easier. She was beautiful, even with a tail... [color=red]"I would... I uh... I would very much like your help."[/color] He confessed, glad to have her on his side, [color=red]"But uh... Maybe we should find you some clothes first..."[/color] He continued awkwardly trying not to come off as a pervert over the whole... being naked thing.
