"I told her I would come in her stead, that's the only thing that stopped her." He admits with a faint huff of laughter, his eyes following Theo as he moved deeper into the room, still studying for any sign that he isn't simply tired from yet another battle "Don't think I didn't notice the way...you..."
The sentence trails off into nothing, G'raha's eyes widening beneath his hood as he stares at an all-too-familiar mark between Theo's shoulderblades. It is, admittedly, a mark that he has previously only ever seen in an awkward, twisted way - the perils of looking at one's own back in the mirror - but still it is one he would recognise anywhere. He had studied it often enough, in the hope of finding its twin.
To find it here, now, when his own had long since disappeared beneath the crystalline sheen that covered so much of his body, he's stunned into silence, unsure what to say, what to do.
