Malachi Azure
When Kai told Elodie the secret, he knew it would be a shock. People were always surprised when they found out. Kai just nodded as it began to process in her mind. “It’s not something anyone expects. You’ll get to see me around much more often, and I’ll be glad to see you. You’re different from a lot of the others.” Elodie was always someone that Kai thought of as a good person. She was a sweet girl and someone he did enjoy being around. The same couldn’t always be said for many of the others he had dealt with. He gave a slight smile when she said she wouldn’t tell anyone, then shook his head. “Thank you. And no, it’s not really. I’m… not actually supposed to be here.” Though he wasn’t supposed to be there, asking why he was, wasn’t a question with a simple answer. Nothing was simple. Not why he was there, not any part of the situation with Jessica that he had to somehow try and fix, not the rest of his life back in New York, nothing. Everything was too complicated, and normally he could manage complicated, but it was quickly getting to a point that was too much. Even he has his limits on what he can handle going on at one time, as much as he’d prefer to deny it.
