Lee Sin remained silent for about a minute after Skylarks words, the room seemed to be dead, nothing stirred. Lee Sin was slightly bothered by the mistrust she had for him, that he had done nothing to earn. He continued to examine the energy around Skylark, trying to find the source but to no avail. "You are here for a reason, speak clearly of it, or else it will never be resolved." Declared Lee Sin.
He took another drink of his tea and sat silent once again waiting for Skylark to speak.
She could be vague about it, right? Feeling remorse, anger, hatred and yet worry and sadness. Her gaze traveled off slightly to the side and upon the floor with a distant look lingering. ". . ." Giving herself as much time as she might. The room stilled again like it had when he had fallen quiet.
Her voice touched the air as sharply as a razor cutting through thin paper, "I don't know who I am anymore.." It wasn't harsh, but the sorrow that filled those words would be incredibly noticeable. Her fingers curled against her lap tightly with her head bowed, "I lost everyone in a crash almost a decade ago. All of my family.. Everything I loved.. Then another group took me in, blessed me, and cursed me.. I ran.. He saved me... " Biting her lower lip to force back the sudden pain that rushed up inside of her, "..then I was forced to renounce my name.. my family.. my home.." She kept it vague on purpose. She couldn't say who, it was too risky and he still technically had some authority over her. "..I-I can't say more.."

Lee Sin was again bombarded by emotions that now flowed out of Skylark at an increased rate, he was beginning to make progress. At the mention of losing everything Lee Sin felt a pang of sympathy, he refused to get close to anyone after what he had done, he was also alone. A man was spoken of, a man who had power over this girl, in one form or another he was a deeper reason as to why Skylark was having this problem. "Remember who you are, who you were, your family and home now live within you, you are the heir to their throne in this world, no man nor woman can take that from you. I have a feeling that this group is of a darker alinement and that you now conflict between their ways and your own."
Lee Sin laid one hand on the table, palm up, a low hum seemed to enter the area, it's source indistinguishable. "Trust me for just a moment, place your hand upon mine, do not ask why, do not worry, just place your trust within me."
It was so easy for others to simply do, but when his hand came out palm up, she recoiled nervously, "Y-You can't know. I know people have powers. You can't know the details." She insisted quickly. The worry became overwhelming when he made his move, causing her to scramble to her feet in a motion that was well trained, and quite fast. Her movements were perhaps even liquid in motion, as if nothing suppressed the flow of her body.
"This.. This was a mistake." She hesitated as she started to back away, "You don't understand."

Lee Sin did not stand as Skylark did, he instead seemed to stare down at his hand, though he had no eyes. Worry overtook the rest of the emotions that assaulted him, a deep frown spread across his face. "I don't understand because you will not allow me to..." He spoke with a quiet voice, on the border of being sorrowful.
"You do not trust me, not even the slightest bit, you have come to mistrust all even when they have done nothing to deserve it." Commented Lee Sin. the dull hum became a slight bit louder and the oil lamps around the room began to flicker, casting darkness across the room. "Do not worry child, I simply wish to help you, I is not as if I could pry into your mind forcefully, I only know as much as you want me to know. Relax, please." With those words the humming again became quite, however the lamps remained dark in the room. Lee Sin's hand still laid on the table.
"Child..." She said with a growing frown, "Do I look like a child to you?" Pausing, Sky would fill with a sense of guilt over what she had just said. What an awful thing to say to a blind man. Her hand rose and rested against the back of her neck, "Erm.. sorry."
The darkness of the room caused her to stir. She'd dance from one foot to the next before moving back to the pillow and dropping herself back down atop it. Her legs folded in front of her, "..okay..." Her hand moved reluctantly to his, slowly, cautiously until she'd feel it touch his. It was very calloused and roughened from constant use. Her hands were not soft in the slightest bit.

Lee Sin's sighed but other than that his face did not falter at her words. "No, I am the one who should apologize, I am sorry." He said calmly.
He felt Skylark's hand rest on his, although he could sense he muscles were still tense, ready to draw back in a moment's notice. Her hands were indeed rough, a sign of hard work and strength, something to admire in someone. The humming grew again as Lee Sin began absorbing energy through her hand, it resembled his tempest ability but in reverse and without dealing harm other than a slight burning sensation to both of them. Lee Sin began to balance Skylark, removing parts of her fear and replacing them with confidence, this would have a negative effect on Lee Sin but it would embolden Skylark at the same time. It would hopefully make her more calm and less jumpy, so that she may speak unreserved.
A bead of sweet formed on Lee Sin's forehead as he took in more and more, there was so much, pain, sorrow, confusion, so much negatives crammed into a small area. The best way to describe how this transpired was a long electrical discharge, Lee Sin was positive and as such absorbed Skylark's negative energy because he had room to do so, while Skylark forced negatives into him because she had too much. Should she try to pull away Lee Sin would grip her hand with an iron like grasp, Skylark would remove her arm before she could remove her hand from his grip. The humming grew louder and louder until it suddenly stopped, Lee Sin withdrew his hand and sat silently.

At first things were okay. But as the sensation of warmth started up, and that strange energy started to flow between them - him taking on her negative energies, she would suddenly try to pull away. She didn't understand it, and it made the already skittish girl all the more so. When his hands gripped around her own, her eyes widened and instant panic would arise. The small Ionian woman would suddenly kick the table away from her hoping to send it into his torso as she fought to pull back.
"N-no!" She cried, her voice rising, "L-let go!" If he kept holding onto her, he'd become no doubt overwhelmed by the intensity of her emotions. An inferno of chaos and destruction amplified rapidly from within the very base of her being. She was entering into full out panic.
Should he keep his hold, and continue to try, she would continue to fight until she simply couldn't handle it anymore and fight mode went into activation. Sky was not a physically strong person in this form, and was prone to running over fighting. But when faced with not being able to escape, she'd change. Wings sprung from her back, wide and beautiful as they spread out at her sides, claws latching onto his hands violently like a cats where they'd hook into the skin if they managed to break the surface. Her features grew more feral, with a long, feline tail extending out from her tailbone, decorated in soft feathery tassels at the tip. Her ears elongated into gentle points, with eyes intensifying in color and fierceness.
Her tail would come around from the right, exposing the claws hidden within the feathers as she tried to gouge them into the right side of his face.
"Please, calm down." said Lee Sin as his balance became more and more corrupt, the sudden panic had pushed more negative energy into him than he intended. Due to the sudden burst he was unable to let go, to caught up trying to keep his inner balance. A sharp pain shot though his wrist and he felt Skylark changing in front of him, a deep frown spread across his face as time seemed to slow down to him. He had options, his primal instinct gave one, simply kill her, she was attacking him with most likely intent to kill. His conscious gave another, to not hurt her but rather block attacks and wait until she tired herself out. He could try to knock her out, the choices rushed through Lee Sin's head faster and faster, the negatives in him making it hard to decide right from wrong.
Lee Sin brought up his other hand to his chest, a bubble formed around him, solid when struck from the outside but at the same time malleable enough to move through tight areas. The tail would crash down into it, cracking the surface with a loud clang. The claws still dug into his hand, blood flowed from the wound now, his hand still touched Skylark's... Lee Sin flowed energy into her in the form of a tempest, this one would not inflict pain but she now had his malleable energy running through her. With a clutch of his other hand the energy would morph around her joints, making her much slower and less effective combat wise. He almost seemed to stare into her savage eyes, despite having none himself. "Calm yourself..."
Sky jerked away when his grip was released, tearing her claws along his skin as she'd move back to place distance between them. However she was not quick enough to avoid the energies as they coursed through her. Her wings flapped somewhat awkwardly as she staggered a bit, feeling suddenly weaker in a sense. No pain, just - weaker. Not being able to function to her fullest, it made her all the more weary and defensive.
"I shouldn't have trusted you!" She hissed violently at Lee, "Not even the Monks can be trusted! Not ANYONE!" Each step she took back was weird, it felt unnaturally sloppy and unbalanced. Something far from her norm. Her fangs bared, the feral Ionian woman glared at him intensely, "This is all a ruse to trick me!"

Lee Sin let out a long sigh as he watched Skylark as she panicked, he allowed her to back away from him. A deep frown rested on his face, he turned away from Skylark, completely exposing his vulnerable back. He would begin to pick up the fallen table and set it back up. He sat down in front of it, facing towards Skylark, he called for more tea as his own was now laying on the floor. A younger monk walked into the room and set down a tray on the table, he bowed to Lee Sin then turned to Skylark and repeated the gesture, not a aspect of fear affected him. "I apologize, I did not mean to frighten you or harm you in any way. Please. Forgive me." Said Lee Sin in a weak tone, blood pooling on the table where he rested his hand.
Skylark looked confused when he'd expose his back to her. And then the younger monk who came in with fresh tea. When he bowed to her, she'd straighten a bit with puzzle, ". . ." The wings puffed up and shifted on her back causing a few straying feathers to fall before she'd start to seemingly relax again.
"Don't.. touch me again." She said with an edge. Slowly the wings would seem to explode in a soft light, sending firefly like particles around her along with glowing feathers. They'd circle around her briefly as the tail, and the feral features would disappear. The lights would fall gently towards the ground, scattering briefly before disappearing from sight. Sky lingered at a distance before starting to cautiously make her way back towards the table. She'd sit silently upon the pillow again, allowing her arms to loosely rest over her knees with her eyes locked upon him.

"fair enough, again I apologize, I should not have done that without assuring your safety, I understand you were frightened." Lee Sin spoke in an apologetic tone, it was clear he had honestly not wanted to frighten or threaten her in any way.
Again the young monk wandered into the room this time with a thick rag, he laid it in front of Lee Sin, made his bowing gestures again and exited without a word. Lee Sin began to silently wrap his bleeding wrist and hand, no pain was registered on his face, he took this time to think, he needed to be much more cautious with how he went about this. Once he had finished wrapping his hand and wrist, which he would properly stitch later, he spoke to Skylark in a soothing tone. "What troubles you Skylark? Tell me only what you wish me to know, but the more you tell, the more I can help you, however do not feel pressured, relax."

Skylark felt a little guilty when she realized the damages she'd done. With a sigh, she'd pull a koi origami and lifted it in front of her. As her fingers let it go, it'd float gently towards Lee's injured hand and started to dance around it as it appeared to come to life, resembling a real koi. As it danced around his hand, it'd unleash a warm, healing energy clearly focused on mending the wound Sky had inflicted.
As his wound would heal, it would fade before crumbling into light and disappearing. Sky sighed a bit, looking off to the side with her hands wrapping across the front of her knees, "I told you... It's complicated."

Lee Sin watched the Koi dance around his hand unflinchingly, he was confused but he felt no reason to be threatened. A warm sensation flowed over the wounded area, Lee Sin removed the rag as the Koi disappeared and to his amazement, his wound was healed. He moved his head so that he seemed to be looking at the girl, he had realized that people are more comfortable if he "looked" at them when he spoke. Lee Sin gave a kind smile at Skylark. "Impressive." He commented.
When Skylark said that her problem was complicated he spoke softly "Tell me only what you wish me to know, take it slowly, piece by piece, no matter the length I am willing to listen to what ails you."
