'[color=aba000][i]Gone!?[/i][/color]' Alexander wasn't too familiar with Ixion, but he still recognized that name instantly '[color=aba000][i]Now I [/i]really[i] want to know what happened. But...I don't want Lily to have to relive that, especially in her current state.[/i][/color]' She let go of him and looked at him with red eyes '[color=aba000][i]Fuck, that just looks so wrong[/i][/color]' and asked him;

[color=fff200]”Alex...I...What are we fighting for?”[/color]

Not even needing to think, Alexander answered "[color=aba000]Not the same thing, I can tell you that. I didn't take this gig for any noble reason, like wanting to protect others, I just wanted power and the means to provide for myself. I grew up with barely anything, so this house feels like a fucking mansion to me, even though it's not any bigger then the orphanage I grew up. Going out to fight monsters is just a day job to me, a fun day job, but a day job none the less.[/color]" He then shrugged "[color=aba000]And...I guess somewhere along the line, I started to fight for you too. You just brute forced your way into my life, and I grew to like it. You're like some kind of heart worm; you burrowed your way in there, and I can't remove you without losing chunks of my heart.[/color]" He put his hand on her head and started patting her

"[color=aba000]You though, you're different. It's...hard to put into words, so I'm probably going to fuck this up, but for as long as I've known you, you've had this...energy, about you. Like you were working in service of some higher calling or something, and that knowledge somehow fueled you...or something. It's always felt like your driving force was to make this world less shitty or something. I'm just a magical salary man, but you've always felt like a hero, or at least someone trying to be a hero.[/color]" Suddenly hit with inspiration, Alexander sat next to her on the sofa, and grew a bunch of tails, which he then used to wrap Lily up to her neck in a fluffy cocoon, he then laid her head on his lap and resumed stroking her head "[color=aba000]Girl's like soft things...right? So just...try to relax a little bit. I do this for as long as you need.[/color]"
