[He's being so kind. He's approaching Taako in a way only Lup ever really has, with a hand outstretched, with jokes and a smile and a way into his heart. His hand is up in his hair, trying to steady himself as the world seems to move around him. He feels like he could collapse, with only the fear keeping him going.
He isn't... this. He doesn't want to be this. He doesn't want to be the person these liches have forced him to become.
Taako looks at Kravitz, and for once, doesn't do anything to mask the fear in his eyes.]
... I don't want to.
[I don't want to hurt you, he thinks. I've never wanted to.
He raises the tip of the Umbra Staff and plants it down in front of him, letting him walk a step or two to meet it. Closer to Kravitz. Closer to home. His mind is screaming what ifs, the fear nearly paralyzing, but for once he'll fight down his urges.
He's trying to trust. He wants to trust. How fucking weird is that, huh?]
