This? I found it on one of my tables... Doesn't it look nice?

[His voice seems to take a turn for the disappointed.]

Take it off...? But it feels so... right, wearing it. Why should I have to, hm?

[His eyes look over Helios carefully, and a smile curls his lips, beneath the mask.] Ah, you're still... 'enhanced', I see. I wonder if it's permanent...

[ No no no. This is not happening. Not again. Not after Halloween and all the trouble and pain it caused him and everyone around him. Helios swallows thickly wincing and flinching a little at the others tone. ] N-No. It-it's not right. It's not right at all. Y-You have to take it off...

[ Because gods only know what you're going to do to people. Helios doesn't even know the other but that doesn't make them any less dangerous. ] It m-makes people a-act different- [ terrifying. A wince as he remembers Gile's voice and words- ] -it's j-just something the Malnosso gave you s-so you could partake in this, this shift.

Different? [The laughter in his voice is clear, a threatening edge beneath the jovial tone.]

You know... [His hand lingers on Helios' shoulder.] What if the kindness and the calm on the outside of everyone just masks their true feelings? It's a cruel irony...

[His tanned hand traces the edge of the mask's surface.] ...that wearing a mask could reveal the true nature within any person, simply because their face is hidden from the world...

[ That laughter and tone sends a chill down his spine. No. This cannot be happening to him again. Why now? Why-

His thought are thoroughly shattered at that hand going to his shoulder. A clear and obvious tension point only made more obvious from his clear anxiety and fear. Helios just shies and cringes away from that hand on his shoulder. His black tail whipping behind him in agitation. ] Th-that isn't true. Th-the only thing that m-mask makes is, is the darker p-parts of someone.

[ He is backing away and finds himself up against the side of a building. A wince as his wings are bent and squished slightly against the rough skin of the building behind him. ] It's n-not anything t-true. Just, just something else the Malnosso use t-to hurt us.

[ But he knows deep down that it's true. Dark emotions or not. They were still a person's to hold onto and keep locked away inside themselves. The darkside of the moon perhaps, and Helios tasted it all those months ago. He did not want a second sampling never again and no one else should have to go through it either. ] P-Please let me h-help you take it o-off.

[Another dark, cutting laugh comes from beneath the mask.]

Oh, I'll let you take it off... if you allow me to do something of my own, first.

[His eyes seem fixated on Helios' own, a piercing gaze that seems able to peer into his soul.]

There's something I've been meaning to do, ever since this... Shift... began.

[ A wary look even more worried than before. He can't possibly allow this unknown man to continue on like this. But he is so very, very afraid right now. He doesn't know what to think about the proposed "something" the other brought up. ] W-what?

[ No. He can't deal with this. He shakes his head. ] I-I'm sorry. I-I can't let you d-do that.

Oh. A shame.

[Syre turns away from Helios -- though not before casting a dark, foreboding glance in his direction.]

I suppose I should go find someone else to... volunteer, then.

[The next part is said more as a half-musing murmur than an intentional statement.] Someone like Robert, perhaps...

[ Helios' green eyes widen a little at that statement. A statement he knows that is meant for something. It rattles him a little to a point where there's a sharp intake of breath from him. ] No.

[ It's a word he can't take back and it almost seals his fate. He knows that and a hand comes up to his mouth afterwards. No he can't let Robert go through this. Nor anyone else. His eyes sting as he remembers his thoughts from that time in October. ] P-Please don't do that.

...No?

[He turns around, eyes filled with a seething anger.] You deny me, and yet you try to plead with me. How hilarious.

[His arms cross across his chest.] Either leave me to my work, or offer yourself in his stead, Helios. I've no time for these games.

I-It's not you. Y-You d-don't have to do anything. Just let me h-help you.

[ A wince and flinch as he considered those words. He'll bit his lip green eyes looking into anger filled ones. ] Wh-what are you...what are you t-trying to do?

[ He isn't even curious just fearful and timid and so many bad memories are being dredged up by all this. But he can't honestly think of anything...except. To desperately pry that mask off the other man's face. ]

What am I trying to do...?

[He closed the distance between them, voice even as he spoke with a troubling calmness.]

I want to see what makes you tick. You, who seem so different than myself...

[ Helios will wince trying to move away from the other. ] Y-you mean... [ oh gods can he really mean what Helios thinks he does? Helios' face pales at those words. Black horns becoming even more apparent from the lack of color in Helios' face. He shakes his head. ] I-I don't think th-that's a good idea. I-I'm not any different than you. Th-these horns and t-tail...they're not-not a part of me. J-Just something the Malnosso g-gave me.

[ Just like that damnable mask. Helios' arms might slowly come up from their plastered position against the wall. Maybe at this close he could get it off... ]
