[He doesn't have an eyebrow to raise, but some of his wires DO part in surprise.]
...after the loss of his parents, his training intensified. He was young at the time, and the clan was...fixated on ensuring he followed their dictated path. I did not feel I could, or should, interfere. And yet I spent as much time with him as I dared, stealing him away when his elders would not notice.
He thought I was simply a strong demon, and he admired and trusted me then. I regret losing that bond more than anything. That it has come to this, all because I felt powerless...while he thought I could do anything.
