Lezard scowled, but his Shadow's smile grew malicious, widening by the moment. The man knew how this was going to go already, and wanted none of it. It was a detriment to his own plans, and he was far too close to what he wished to accomplish for his own past to stain it.
"Nothing that matters."
"If it's unimportant to the here and now, then I suppose there's no issue having a heart-to-heart, is there? After Lily Ivory finally admitted to liking you, when you've done NOTHING to earn it!" The Shadow suddenly turned his eyes to Lily, the dragons' masked heads turning in suit with the sound of stretched, rotten sinew and creaking bones.
"We wanted a homunculus, a body to house the soul of our beloved Lenneth. We knew when Odin's seal upon her memories broke, she would be destroyed for the 'crime' of being human once. We could not bear it. But we needed a body that would grow in power, one that could surpass even the gods... only the best for my love." The Shadow paused, startled when one of the flame drops was thrown haphazardly to his feet, and sputtered into nothing. Without the Meister's power, he couldn't properly function.
"Hahahaha! Oh, you're -cross-! My apologies; did you want this woman to think fondly of me? Oh no no no. She told me so much, but I've told her nothing. That's hardly fair, is it? Tell me- how many times was it that I entered the forest, gathering the key ingredient I needed for my homunculus project...? Would you like to know what that ingredient is?"
Lezard decided enough was enough, and shifted back, standing instead at Lily's side as human. He was advancing on the Shadow, who didn't move. It instead opened its arms imploringly. "Nobody was talking to you, -me-. I'm speaking with my friend in a way you never have."
