{{XD I was about to head to bed myself anyway. G'night. :B}}
He nodded in agreement with her. "Yeah. Especially since the hangovers are killer. My head throbbed all day." He winced at the simple memory of it. ...and just how had he managed to get that hotel room anyway? He was fairly sure neither he or Angie had had any money at the beginning of the night. ...huh.

"Yeah, no kidding." Bronnie straightened out her legs again; she was smirking. "I thought I was going to die or something." It seemed a little unfair that something that had been mostly enjoyable ended up being so regrettable, even ignoring getting yellwed at.

Cyrus snickered a bit. "I thought my head was trying to explode or something. And then I had to walk home like that." He made an odd face somewhere between a grimace and amusement. Walking through downtown Durem with a pounding hangover was certainly not pleasant.
"How have you been though? I mean, aside from the whole..drinking thing.. I haven't really seen much of you lately."

Bronnie's mood sobered immediately. "Mostly okay," she said slowly. She really didn't have any clue how Cyrus would react to her discovery that her biological father had been slightly demonic. She still wasn't sure what she thought about that.

Cyrus blinked and frowned, leaning closer as though that would somehow allow him to read Bronwen's mind. ...it didn't really work. "Only mostly? Did something happen?"

"Nothing exactly happened," Bronnie hedged. "Well, except... the... carpet." She flushed. "But that was an accident. I didn't mean to."
She sighed. She supposed she ought to be truthful, if she wanted Cyrus to be. Fair was fair. "I sorta found something out... my dad, well, he was just a sperm donor. Not important. And mum told me he was, well, human. But he wasn't, not exactly." Bronnie screwed up her nose and grunted miserably.

He eyed the carpet for a moment, deciding it was best not to ask exactly what had happened to it. She didn't seem as though she really wanted to talk about it, after all.
Cyrus glanced at her curiously, frowning just a bit. She had a sperm donor for a dad? "Well...um.. My dad wasn't really human either, I think. I had to get this fox stuff from somewhere, I mean.." He trailed off and watched her for a few moments. "Why's that bad..?"

"He was sort of, partly... a demon." She hunched her shoulders and her wings in one confused movement. "I don't care what mum says. Demons are supposed to be... all evil and stuf.."

Cyrus blinked. "But you aren't evil." He frowned again and moved closer, leaning down to touch her shoulder hesitantly. "I mean... You're still you and everything.. It isn't like just finding out about your dad is going to suddenly turn you into a monster or anything. If you were really going to be all evil and demonic, wouldn't you already be that way?"

"Maybe I am already, and I don't know it?" Bronnie looked at Cyrus's hand on her shoulder, and then at his face. "I just feel... all really confused. I'm not really anything. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. But I guess I'll figure it out. I hope I do."

He sat down beside her and shook his head. "You aren't evil, Bronnie. I wouldn't be friends with you if you were." He smiled at her and gave her shoulder an affectionate squeeze, absently beginning to wonder if he should just hug her. That seemed to be the thing to do when people were upset... "You're much too nice to be evil."

"Thank, Cy," Bronnie mumbled. She smiled at him, though it was a troubled expression. "I'm glad you don't think so. It helps."

He sighed a bit at her expression and, without really thinking about it, lifted his hand to stroke her hair. "I'm sure anyone would agree you aren't evil." Anyone sane, anyway. Cyrus wasn't sure people like werewolf hunters or the sort would count at all.

Bronnie blinked at him, the glow of her eyes intensifying slightly for a brief moment.
This was unexpected.
She smiled, weakly, and shifted closer; her tail twitched contentedly. "Thank you," she murmured.

He tensed for a brief moment when her eyes glowed - had he done something wrong? Maybe now was the moment for escaping.
And then she moved closer, and he relaxed. This...this was nice.. And certainly much better than being yelled at like he'd suspected for a moment. He smiled again, if a bit faintly, and eased his arm around her shoulders, making sure to be careful of her wings. "No problem, Bron."
