"You're fucking paranoid, Desmond." He didnt even look at him as he ran his hands over his face. "Yes, a thin line. Between insanity and obsession, and to a lesser degree, paranoia as you've just shown. Even when I was in the clan, I'd have never killed you. You're my younger brother, and nothing could change that. Answer me this though. What's the appeal in having power and destroying peoples lives? It's been so long I've forgotten. But better yet, what's the point of having all that power and not delving completely into them. I once heard that while the clan adored raping women, you still despised it. I dont get it, but I dont get much of shit as it is."

"I am not that type of creature. You knew that. I don't use this power to rule the world, to take over the clan. I don't want that, you know that." He sat down on the edge of Hannibal's bed. Somehow, his brother's presence had changed him for the moment.

"Then why stay with them?" He kept his hands over his face. "Why not leave them, and explore your powers alone, away from the shit they do. I know it's a tough transition, but I'll help you Desmond." He mumbled "..right after you apologize to Maezyl."

He looked at Hannibal angrily. "Transition of what? I'm respected where I am, revered. Far more than you were. " Cracking his knuckles, he watched his hand silently as a plume of fire escaped his hand and snaked around his arm. "Our kind once had powers, like the ones I have now. Years go by, and our kind strays from that purpose."

He shifted his head to watch him silently. "Having those types of powers is not a purpose. And for most, they're concern is not getting powers like that. It's to live, and survive." He looked towards the window. "Still as stubborn as ever. You know, you may be revered, but even you know how lonely being in throngs of creatures like that, get."

"Especially when your brother is no longer by your side." He sighed and then laid back, surprised at himself that he was still in Hannibal's room.

"And now it's more likely than ever that'll happen." He looked at him. "I dont get it, there was a time where you used to look up to me. What happened to that? Leave them, join me on this side. You'll find you'll regain more than just a brother. You'll actually have a family."

He spoke quietly, a whisper. "I never stopped looking up to you...." Sighing, he just kept to laying on the bed and grabbed one of the pillows there, and placed it under his head. Funnily enough, he recognized his brother's familiar scent. How weird that this sparked memories of when he was a boy, and Hannibal had given him his own piece of pie since their parents had punished Desmond for staying outside too long. Shaking his head, he sighed once more.

"Then listen to me, Desmond." He watched him quietly, fighting the urge to smile. He actually remembered when Desmond once had a nightmare and he'd gone to comfort him, but then another emotion came from it, and he shut his eyes, feeling a pang. "We were very close once, we can be close again. Wouldnt you like a chance to have a family, who cares for you, and dont just like you because of the power you've got?"

"I suppose...no, no, I can't. I'm too far gone now Hannibal."His mood changed quickly and he kept very still, unmoving. He was trying to drive out all thoughts of his brother, but it was no use. This had brought back everything, and he did something he hadn't done since he was young, and only ever in the same company of Hannibal. It had been when a girl he had become very close to had been killed, and he had shed a few tears, and now, now he shed a tear, and turned so his brother wouldn't see.

"Too far gone? Too far gone? If you were too far gone you'd had been joining in raping women, Desmond. You're not to far gone. There's stil la chance for you, let me help you." He watched him turn and sighed slightly. "I'm your oldest bother, Des. Nothing will change that and you know it. I'll help you, shit I bet others will too...but you gotta want to change. I thought I was far gone too, and someone saw worth in me, and look at me now.."

"You're accepting me into your room after so long, after knowing things I've done." He got up and walked towards his brother, and lifted his left sleeve, showing him a tattoo. "I still have it. After so long. Remember?" it was a symbol that he and Hannibal had all of their own as brothers, having nothing to do with the clan.

He looked at the tattoo and brought his leg onto the bed and brought his pant leg up to show him his. "Still got it, even after so many years." He smiled slightly and nodded. "Yeah, I'd still accept you. You're my brother, and I still have faith your'll doe the right thing."

He looked to Hannibal and kept quiet. They had both grown a lot, that was obvious, and he wondered what his brother had been up to after all these years. Because there wasn't always a time where he himself had been so into the clan. "I just want a brother again. That's all I've wanted..."

"I want my brother back to...but I've got a family, Desmond. I have to think about them, something I failed to do for my kids when they were growing up. If you want your brother back, if you want a chance to start all over, if you want a family, you have to choose what's important? You can use your knowledge and your strength, but why use it like that? Use it for people like them."
