<<Nods, understanding the darkness and the effect it can have on even the strongest of us>> You needn’t worry about Kage, I will ensure he does not slip into the darkness. <<Shifts to stand, inclining my head>> I will speak with Azrael soon, but for now, I must return to my beloved. Thank you Shiki

~ need to pay a visit to Azrael and find out what he knows about the twin realms…

<<A rush of pride washes over me, knowing I was the only one Kage would submit to and I can’t help the grin that forms>> I know how to handle my husband… <<Nods and ponders the realm that Minjun drew his power from, wondering if his powers were weakened by the fact it was dormant>> I think I may ~

~ through this>> Is this something we need to inform Azrael and Minjun about? Is it something that is likely to happen to Min as well?

~ and you want me to teach him how to do that… <<It wasn’t something I had done before. To teach was to share knowledge and as Greed, that was never my strong suit. But this was Kage and a lot had changed since I’d met him. He was my whole world and I would do whatever it took to help guide him ~

<<The comparison between the twins was blindingly accurate. The purity of Min’s soul made it impossible for anyone to not bend to his will. And yet, he never used his power over others. I watch in silence, pondering your revelations>> So what you are saying is that Kage will need to tame his realm ~

~ him apart. If it continues to call for him and tears a hole between worlds, are we to presume it will consume anything in it’s wake?

<<The scenes you lay before me hold me captive. Some familiar and others a mystery to me. The tale of Lucifer and his devotion to the twin’s mother was a surprise, but the subsequent destruction of the realm he had created did not shock me>> What does this mean for my Kage…? Those beasts will rip ~

~ up at the ceiling, before returning my gaze to yours>> Do you know of this realm? Have you heard of it before?

~ if you could shed some light on the matter… <<I go into great detail, explaining everything that happened with Kage and the snowflake that led us to the ice laden tree and then Kage’s sudden loss of control and the realm he described. When I’m finished, I drag a hand through my hair and looks ~

<<I knew you looked at me the way most did and I sit back in the chair, a light smirk tugging at my lips>> I’m sure he will… <<At your question, I’m brought back to the matter at hand and my features shift to something darker>> There was an incident with Kage’s ice magic yesterday and I wondered ~

<<When the door opens, I greet you with a sly smile, the smell of Bukimi covering you like a cloak, and steps inside as you shift, heading straight for your study>> Thank you for the hospitality… I do hope I was not interrupting anything…?
