[Traumatizing doesn't half cover it, really, but he's not looking to cry on her shoulder. He sort of got his fill of that for the day with Gadriel, oddly enough.]
It was memorable. Good times. I don't want to pry, but I'm glad for you if your circumstances were less fraught. If they were merely differently fraught, please accept my sympathies.
Unfortunately I think the fact that he's enormous and wearing body armor works against him, but given the world he comes from I can see why he'd be unwilling to go without it. He's got a hard road here, and a volatile temper, but you're right. I see him more clearly now. He is fundamentally well-meaning, even heroic, if just a bit scary.
Goodness. It's a bit of a jump from 'tolerates' to 'likes'. Have I really earned that?
[Hard to tell through text, but he's actually a little bit touched. And very surprised.]
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Anyway, I'll try not to fuck it up. When I do get my powers back, I'll let you know, on the off chance I'll be able to glean more information for you.

Don't worry, I think you're a bit scary too.

Just a bit? I would work on that, but you seem... fine. Gadriel likes you, seems like, so I guess I do, too.

Thanks. I'm sure by then I'll be spitting fire or something. At least the element is appropriate.
no subject
Oh. Well. Duly noted.
Fire is a useful element to befriend. Tricky to control, but very easy to find uses for. I wish you well with it, one way or another.
