Lucien did not break the silence that followed his words, wanting to allow Faolan to process everything he had said. When he finally spoke, he was glad to hear that these weren't words of denial, but seeing Faolan like this... so vulnerable. He knew how important this was to him. He wished that there was something he could do to help him.. to rid him of this terrible curse, but as far as his knowledge went on these things.. there wasn't any type of cure. All he could do was make sure that he didn't hurt anyone again. That.. he felt was within his capabilities. [color=burlywood]"I understand Faolan.. I do.. I [i]swear[/i] I will do whatever it takes to make sure it doesn't."[/color] Despite the emotion reflected in his expression, his tone was firm. He didn't want Faolan to think he wasn't completely serious about this. He was. Even though he could see the tears that blurred Faolan's expression, he didn't comment on them, and as much he wanted to at least give the man some sort of hug for some type of comfort he knew that it would be a bad idea to right now. Maybe they could start by getting him cleaned up. It would be less of a reminder.. of the night he had just gone through. [color=burlywood]"Let's.. get you cleaned up okay? While I was flying around, I noticed a lake nearby. Can you stand?"[/color] He asked.
