Blackfeather Woods there's something tragic about you

Damien looked over at Burke with analytic eyes. What did he feel? Well, there was respect, yes, and also fear. Damien would never overcome the fear of losing his father again, like the first time, and Burke was his current paternal figure. Damien felt affection towards Burke, as much as to not want him gone, as much as to feel attached to him, and that scared him. That's why he didn't admit it.

When Burke asked, Damien simply nodded. He admitted the respect Burke deserved, but nothing else. Damien didn't do emotional.

"Yeah, okay. I'll do it," he said, feeling more excited about the deal every second. A Minion did, indeed, sound like a cool thing to have. Then they could figure out their evil laugh and try to conquer the world via complicated evil plans. Yeah... That sounds a lot like Damien...
