He shrugged. "You might be a little silly, but you are competent. I respect your methods and mind. I helped you because I, too, wanted to see what would happen. I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if a human got superhuman traits for a few hours. I wanted to help bring Others and humans together. But it was slightly more complicated. Oerhaps people would believe in the crwatures thought myth again. I wanted to be relevant again. I rescued you because..." He grimaced and removed his hands from hers. "It would be lonely without yoi yammering on about things in the lab. I realized I...enjoyed...your company. I don't want to lose that" however, he felt he had. She was not as bubbly, and she looked so down about everything that happened. "Anna, guilt can eat a person up. Sometimes, just let it go and promise to do better is a better course if action"

Anna looked at Dorian, her expression difficult to read in that moment as she took in what the Seelie was telling her. Once he was finished speaking, her lips began to tremble and she turned away so that he couldn't see her face. When she spoke, her voice quivered ever so slightly as if it were about to break.
"I get what you're saying and believe me when I tell you I'm working on it. I know I've still got a lot to answer for and I know the guilt won't just go away because I want it to but...."
Suddenly, she turned around so that Dorian could see her face, but she wasn't crying. Far from it, she was smiling, a beaming grin of such brilliance that it seemed as if the sun had come out from behind a bank of clouds. If anyone had truly believed that the happy-go-lucky person that Anna was had gone away forever, in that instant they would have been proven wrong.
"I think I can manage with my friends, especially one like you."

"Perhaps we track down and visit Constantine, finding the drugs will be very good for resposibility of actions" He couldn't help but give her.an answering smile of his own, fully relieved the Anna he had first met was not entirely gone. She was just hiding, waiting for a time when she could come out again. He laughed a little. "Me, logic and abrasive attitude? A good friend? Anna dear, you would be better off having anyone rlse be that. I will just be the creep in the basement who offers help and advice. Ready to scare stupid teens straight and figure out causes of death"

Anna gave a little laugh at Dorian's rather harsh analysis of himself and merely shook her head slightly.
"Call it what you like. In my book, you're a friend. And thank you for, well, everything."
She didn't say anything about this guy Constantine. Not then. The time would come where they would have to deal with this sinister sounding character but that could wait for a bit. Now the time had come to heal and mend.

He rubbed the back of his neck self consciously. To tell her why he'd avoided her or not...she probably didn't need to know, now or ever. After all, it wasn't like he had acted on it. "You put too much faith in me, Anna. I could go as feral as you, at any time. The madness has been growing, it will consume me then, and there will be no coming back from it. Better to stick around the dead than truly do anything with the living. You are the exception. But if I turn, run" he paused and then grinned at her. "Do you want to finish.some of the cake and then get back to work? Send any blood samples you need, I will get them looked at"

"Well, guess that means we both know some of the bad in each other. But I'm not worried too much. After all, there's still a lot of good in there for both of us, maybe more than either of us really even knows."
And with that, Anna suddenly put her arms around Dorian and gave him a hug and a small peck on the cheek. There was nothing romantic in the gesture and the only feeling that came off of her as she stepped back and smiled up at him was one of friendship. She might not ever be the same again after what had happened with the serum, but she hadn't changed so much that the compassionate and kind parts of her had disappeared. If anything, they had made them stronger.
Once she had released him from her embrace, Anna snapped a salute in response to his question and put on an expression of dead seriousness that didn't quite reach her eyes.
"Aye aye, Captain Dorian!"
She held the serious look for a few more seconds before letting out a light laugh.

“Hmmm” was his only response to her strange confidence that there was more food in him than he thought. Silly idea, really. He was unseelie and really not that interested in being better than he was. He returned the hug. There was no romantic inclination, just the odd warmth of having gained a friendship. Misplaced and foolish as her trust was, it was still nice to have. He gave her a sarcastic salute in response and shooed her toward the cake. “Eat and then go continue looking at the corpse. I reserve the right to play with muscle tissue later, see if exercise played a part. However, cake first and fun later”

"Sounds good to me!"
Anna smiled at Dorian, the look resting more naturally on her face then it had done in a long time. As she made her way back over to the cake to cut a piece, she knew that the repercussions for what she had done weren't over yet. However, there was no point in worrying more then she needed to in that moment.
For the time being, she needed to appreciate her own small victories. And while she knew difficulties might be closing in very quickly, she wouldn't let herself be blinded to the good things now. Not anymore.
(End Thread?)
