"I’m listening." Rosette turned towards him, of course she knew what he was going to say - she just wanted to hear it from him, how he would word it. Depending on what he told her, she could tell if his feelings were the same as hers.
"And I won’t tell anyone, promise…." Why did he wants to keep his past a secret?
"Alright, here we go." He said, taking a deep breath and a small sigh before telling her what was up. This was hard on him. It was his first time coming out about it after all. He took a gulp and tried to get rid of the lump he felt in his throat.
"It's about Mary Magdalene." he started out, his hands fumbling on his lap. "Before you found me four years ago..around fifty years before that...I was with Aion, of course you know that. About me..and The Sinners." he already explained that little. But the rest, not so much.
He explained how he found Mary Magdalene, how he stole her from the building and made off so he and Aion could find Pandaemonium's head. How he started to fall for little miss Magdalene.
"So I formed a contract with her." he explained. How that killed her. It was his fault. "That's why..." what was he going to say? That he was also in love with Rosette? That he didn't want her to get hurt?
"That's why I can't let you die so soon." he said. It was true, that much he could let her know. He couldn't let himself get attached again. If that happened then he might not be able to rationally think around her. And that much was troubling when she was so irrational.
