"Yeah, I could. ...And you're not the only one capable of awful things, you know."

Kai closes his eyes and hugs her tighter for a second before loosening his grip some. He was still hugging her, but she could pull away if she wanted.

"Every time I use those Corridors of mine, or open a portal, I'm playing with a power that's dangerous. I know that, and I'm careful, but still...sometimes it calls to me enough that I don't really care about consequences. I know I should, but..."

Kai laughs softly and shakes his head.

"Aren't we a pair."

It isn't quite the same thing, but it's close enough to him.
