"Well, I guess two is better than one. Personally I'd keep my eye on those two, but if you and the queen trust each other enough then that secures this alliance a bit more firmly. Now, onto the topic of me needing you..."
-
"What do you need?"

Edited by Moot: 12/17/2015 1:56:19 PM"Well, like you said back at the city, I need guidance. And you're right, I do. Guidance from someone who's had time to master the darkness, while also not being hell bent on trying to kill me. And well, you fit that picture pretty well. I need you to teach me how to control this if I have any chance of finding Aries and returning myself to normal"

Edited by Indubitably: 12/17/2015 1:58:28 PM"Sounds like Erik. Well, I'll leave you two alone." 'Don't stray far. We might need help later.' Knox turned to leave. When he passed by Switch he muttered something. 'Need any company, just call.'
-
"Will do Knox. It's quite rare for people to want to be near me right now, so thanks" "Right, Erik. And ideas on where to start?"
-
"How're you feeling?"
-
Edited by Moot: 12/17/2015 9:12:04 PM"oh right. Well I feel fine, I think. Actually, probably less than fine. Considering what's happened I'm not exactly in the best of moods, and I keep on getting feeling these subliminal messages"
-
"Subliminal messages...?"
-
Edited by Moot: 12/17/2015 9:21:28 PM"Yeah, subliminal. It's hard to explain but it's almost like I can read people I know, like some kind of background messaging that hints at those people's emotions"
-
Erik turned a little red under his helmet. "Huh. That's...cool."
-
Edited by Moot: 12/17/2015 9:31:26 PM"Well that's one way of saying it... For example, just a few hours ago, I felt some sort of need to go out and find Zaaria, like she was in danger and I somehow knew it. I also can't quite shake the lingering feeling of Aries within me. It's almost like I can tell where he is, and when he gets angry. And for some other bizarre reason, I'm getting some sort of feeling from Lake-- interesting..." Switch's eyes narrowed and he looked straight into Erik's eyes. "... Odd. The moment I mentioned Lake, your emotional state just changed a bit... Erik?"
-
"It's nothing. I'm just worried about a new Dark Guardian, that's all."
-
"Wait... What? Dark guardian? What are you talking about?"
-
"Lake was corrupted."
-
"What?! How did--?!" "The bite..."
-
"Relatively sure it was Hunger, yeah. And I kinda set him off."
-
"I was gonna say... I have a small element of Aries' hunger within myself actually. Got it when I was trying to purge his wounds. Until you tackled me off him... Remember that?"
-
He cleared his throat. "Yeah..."
-
Edited by Moot: 12/17/2015 10:37:08 PM"But no, it's not that... It's something else... Something about your sister. Wait. You have a sister?"
-
"Yes, I have a sister. Abby."
-
"Right... You see? That's what I'm talking about. I didn't even know that and yet I somehow I found out without soo much as a single question"
-
"That's...a little creepy." Erik couldn't help but feel slightly attracted to Switch's power.
-
"Sure is. Anyway, you said I needed to learn restraint. Back at the city, remember?"
-
"Oh, uh, yeah. That." He stepped closer to him. "I hope you don't have a temper."
-
"I do. But not towards you, even if you were partly responsible for Lake's corruption..."
