The blonde searched for any hint of a reaction from Deimos, which completely failed. It was typically hard to read the brute, and this was especially true in this case. Not only did his face give little hints, but his voice did little to help as well. With others it was far easier, but he had chosen to seek out Deimos. He should've expected this. It did help to not see disgust, but he still wanted to know if Deimos' opinion on him had changed.
The man before him asked a short and simple question. Was it simple? The answer should be straight forward, absolutely. "We were practicing- err, training? It was simple stuff. And then we ended up on the ground and I just...I didn't think. I created a fake fire, you know, an illusion. I hadnt been told by anyone that fire is the only thing that can hurt an ascended so I didn't know how scary it would be...and he obviously was terrified. And he was mad because I didn't warn him about the magic and I know I should've told him. I was cocky and I wanted to surprise him, I guess." Once more, all of his emotions were thrown up. He let out a jumble of words and rambled on. It was something he'd need to learn not to do. To not speak so much, to not babble on and on.
