Alexander's brows shot up at the sympathy he could read in the other man's eyes "...thanks. I can't remember my mother. And I was just a boy when the old man burned out." He gave the other man's hand an annoyed glance when he kept touching himself "so I am getting...ready to sex things up to spill out energy when a certain type of creature comes near?"
He tried not to look at what Diaval was doing with his hand "Were my ancestors made just to be used like that?" he frowned at the idea "a rechargeable, self lubing battery?" he growled the words, getting pissed off at the idea. His powers had always been this double-edged sword for him. He knew he was good at what he did, one of the best in his field and he knew Sam was proud to call him his shaman. He could do amazing things, but he'd also done horrible things. He kept people safe, he had saved so many, but he'd also gotten his loved ones killed.
And though many had tried to use him, no one had succeeded, nor had they taken his powers from him. The idea of picking between being used or dying because he could not contain what was living inside of him made him furious "yeah. Real fucking clever." He sat up, his knees pulling to his chest, "so what the fuck am I supposed to do about this?"
