With Darius' commitment to his goal challenged once more, Malgormuun prepared to give the human a few words to keep his confidence up. If he became too disheartened or doubtful, he would become nothing but a liability.

However, before Malgormuun could speak, Azriel gave Darius some comforting words. Eyes of amber and crimson locked as the angel gave him needed words of both encouragement and generosity. She seemed to understand his difficulty in the thought of having to harm or even kill others, but she also did not shy away from the reality of the option. He managed a smile, but it still lacked some confidence.

[Color=mediumpurple]"Thanks."[/color] He wasn't sure what else to say as he was just glad he could get that off his chest and have someone be understanding. This thing he was choosing to do. This path. It was going to be tough, but he had to realize he was not alone in this. There was a small part of him that still believed in the chance of things just playing out as perfectly as he wanted it to. With everyone agreeing to leave, the rebels giving up, and the DROMs being destroyed. If only that could be the reality. [Color=mediumpurple]"If it does come to that… Then I would definitely want you to be there to help me."[/color] Darius said with his weak smile as the music started to slow down and quiet. The first dance was ending and Azriel was leaving him with so much to think on. It was a hard subject, but this wasn't a game or some fairytale. Real lives were at stake and he had to make a commitment. Everyone else at his side did, right? Everyone who directly fought against the rebels. Kol, Malgormuun, Airdan, Azriel, and even Aklenroth. They had different motives but were all aiming towards a similar endgame.

[Color=mediumpurple]"Again, thank you…"[/color] His smile grew as he was beginning to appreciate their meeting. Darius found this dance to be both reflective and enjoyable. [color=mediumpurple]"...for the whole thing. And also keep that smile up. I think your next partner will enjoy it too."[/color] Darius gave Azriel a slow twirl and while wearing a bright smile to assure her of his better mood and to encourage her to keep smiling. He would remain positive and smile until the time came where he couldn't afford to.
