The redhead flinched back, arm with the bottle falling to his side as he eyed the man before him. He was listening intently, though he instantly looked away as the other man described to him what it was he had done when he had taken on this role. It was not a role he had wanted, partially. It was a role the greedy in him desired, the covetous creature that wanted the power, respect, and attention that came with such an important place. He had wanted to do it for himself, and for Noss, so that he could be someone worth having. But that was all for nothing, wasn't it? He was so lost without the other man, who had clearly taken something vital from him the moment he had left to go home with his sister. He had left that place for him, and then he returned to it without him, because they were not good together.
His fire. That was gone. He knew he no longer had the passion for what he did or what he was. His clothes were an escape, albeit brief. The alcohol numbed him in a way that was sorely needed, but he could not admit that he was selfish. He was. He always was. The green eyed dreamed stared at him, as though expecting an answer, something to refute these claims laid against him. But he would not and he could not, because it was all true. "I did," he said softly, eyes trailing down to the bottle in his hands. He twisted it, eyeing the indecipherable label as he struggled to keep his eyes from swimming. "I did," he repeated, blinking back emotions he did not want. "What do you want?" Strel looked up at the other man, eyes hard and his focus solidly on him. "What do you mean to accomplish?"
