Ankyra Sound into the rainbow vein

illidan was careful to listen to the explanation behind why they had found themselves with a new member. it did cause immediate concern to think that it was really just happenstance that had given them lucca, and he wasn't certain how long the other would last in their ranks. these thoughts were hypocritical at best, he knew. after all, he had abandoned the plateau group as soon as he had found out that his mother was still alive. he had made his blood relations a priority over the bonds he'd made with kavik and liri... so he could not look at lucca with much judgment without it turning back on him.

“dangerous man, huh?” the ghost remarked with an interested expression. he hadn't found himself in the company of many others like that. he wondered what made someone fit the description in that way. “i'm sure your sister will be alright. at least, i've found that we're pretty resilient.” really, it was the best that he had as far was words of encouragement. he didn't really know much about lucca's sister, so he couldn't speak to her skill. he was speaking more from experience than anything else.

with a thoughtful glance toward his companion, illidan frowned. “does that mean you're only sticking around temporarily?” he asked directly, without cushion. repeatedly, he had to remind himself that he could not blame the other for his answer. he knew he could not hold others to standards that even he could not withhold himself. 

"i'm illidan," then, to his question on names.
