He understands Glenn's warnings, of course. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and he knew it. So he would not be using it. He notices the lack of drinking from Glenn and quirks an eyebrow. "Can I.. get you something else?" He was not used to playing host. No one had ever come inside his home, other than Eleanor. "Just because I've accepted what I am, Glenn doesn't mean I am going to take out my wings to fly to the Dagger. No, its a.. failsafe measure. Brains, swords, screaming, hiding, then arcane powers." Seemed like a good order to him. His powers were not going to be misused like his country had for so long. "I don't like my powers, but I can't stick my fingers in my ears and pretend they are not there." At least he was being practical about it, huh? "That said, I welcome your input on it. My.. instict might be to reach for it too fast, and you, either of you, slapping my hands would not be taken amiss."
He does quirk a brow at Glenn. It was quite the assumption. "I would be happy to let you look at the book, if you are willing to follow my guidelines on it. Someone else with the knowledge.. could not go amiss, and I don't fear it taking over you the same way it would anyone else." Of course, he would be there to guard it, that was a given. A guards.. already his mind was working on the problem. "From what I understand in the reading, each person is possessed by one daemon. The daemon is an aspect of the.. Three." He was still loathe to name them, even away from the Book. Names were powerful. "So it is unlikely that anyone else can be possessed. The ward I have on the book now is the most powerful I know. It will stop the thing from leaking anymore corruption into the area and causing more problems. But we will need to recreate the bindings and padlock that held in check before. Whatever was unleashed melted the lot." He didn't mention what it had cost him to create that ward, or what it had cost him. "But really, Agnie is... right. The entire thing is wrong. I don't like the feeling of it crawling around in my head, but.. I am the most suited to carry the load." What's a demonic mind corruption on top of a split personality and a Celestial living in his head, right?
But the confession that Glenn wanted his wards was.. extreme, to say the least. "Of course, Glenn. You two might be my only real friends here, so anything I have is yours. But what am I warding against?"
Agnie made him blush. He actually BLUSHED over her question, covering it with a sip from his cup. "You.. remember that, huh? Well. I will tell you the story, later. Perhaps over dinner at somepoint?" Did he.. just.. ask her on a date? Either he was trying embarass her as much as he was already, or he really had changed over night.
Despite it all he seemed.. comfortable now. It was easy to realize you were an idiot when looking into the past.
