[Sola's face goes a little sour at that and he shifts around, still leaning into Johnny's side but this time mostly with his back so he can pick at a nearby pillow sullenly.]

I don't tell you that stuff because if I do you won't let me protect you. I mean, Barry's scary but you don't really stand up to him, not the same way you do to other people, like you did to Ghirahim. I just want him to go away but he won't so I thought doing something else would work but then Bon said he needed more information about him to even do an exorcism and I didn't want him to get hurt if he got discovered lurking around or anything. I'd do it, but I don't know what to look for.

[Ah... that was way more than he'd intended to say and he cringes prematurely at the scolding he knows is coming.

Damnit, and the morning had started so nicely.]

Please don't be mad?
