The Wraith is being gentler than Dante has ever seen her, and for that, he's thankful as he reciprocates and reaches across to take her hand. He had always seen her as a force of nature, intimidating at the very least, but in the face of learning he's abandoned, she seems tame in comparison. Mentioning Evie almost brings a smile to his face as he averts his gaze quickly to Clem before back to Wessex with the same determination he had felt moments before, taking a deep breath and nodding.
"You're right. I... I don't like how the gods may choose to call the abandoned, and me I guess, but if I can help with it..." He trails off for just a moment, thinking of how Evie's fear of her own powers left her scared of her own skin, he clears his throat and continues. It wouldn't be like that for him. He'd utilize the power to protect both of them. All of them if he had to. "If I want to learn how to use it, I should know what it is."
