"I'm sorry to hear that, and to have brought it up." Akira says apologetically upon hearing Allura's story. "It seems we have both have to experience great pain in our past which has put us here in our present." Akira held a strong belief in fate, although that belief wasn't so much his as it had been forced upon him by Volkran, the demons very presence had, overtime, manipulated and warped his personality with regards to certain aspects.
'So now do you understand?' The demon asks the thought swimming in Akira's mind. 'Tragedy merely acts as a magnet for more tragedy, you mortals, well what's left of your mortalities are drawn to one another by your similar pasts.' Akira's lips move as Volkran speaks in his mind though no words are spoken, it was merely a mimicry that sometimes occurred as the body tried to match the mind. Akira snap himself back before looking to Allura. "I'm sorry that we had to be drawn to one another by such horrible circumstances. Although our current predicament welcomes those circumstances back into both our lives." There was a slight pause followed by a small twist in Akira's voice when he follows up with "But without a creature such as me in existence you would both remained oblivious to one another." Volkran spoke quietly so as to not draw attention from the other patrons within the tavern. "Your family draws near... as does his, consider this your lucky day. Due to you... healing his wounds I'll get to have my fun soon enough and therefore I owe you this much."

The demon relinquishes control but Akira was completely oblivious to the fact it just happened as he looks at Allura and just simply asks "What?" It felt as though he was on the receiving end of a cold stare, though what he'd done to deserve it was beyond him. He tries to ignore it as he smiles to Allura changing the subject from the more morbid one they were recently in "We should probably sort you out with some new camping gear after we re-visit the smithy... then I don't know, maybe return to that old woman's house? She'll probably want us staying there, and I'm not surprised, if I stayed here I'd be up all night making sure no one was trying to slit our throats." He looks down before mumbling "What good that'll do 'em." He stretches his arms before picking up the tankard and knocking against Allura's once again "I guess from now we should avoid the past and think only of the now and the future, it'll probably prove more enjoyable." Although a terrible one, he was attempting to liven up the mood between them, to potentially get it to the type of mood that should be experienced. After all, maybe that would bring an end to the staring if people believed for even a moment that they were normal. They'd only believe Akira's story for so long.
