Kyle nodded, it would be easy to check which day that would be, after all, charting the course of the moon was an old trade. He rubbed her forehead, sighing. The fact that the hunter wasn't after him made more sense, he'd been confused as to why one would want to kill him. Despite his family he had a rather good reputation in human circles, and usually hunters left him alone. Though, some were more intense then other, anti-vampire types, not matter who they were, so that was always an option. His brother, however... well, he didn't have a good reputation among anyone. Damn that idiot! Now he was having to clean up his mess.
Looking up at Helena he couldn't help but feel conflicted. While he didn't disagree, in fact, his idiot brother probably deserved it, he still wasn't sure what would be right. Helena continued to speak, practically a siren song, moving closer, eventually climbing into his lap. She obviously wanted confirmation, some sign he agreed with her, and he really did. However, at the same time, he wasn't sure this was a burden she needed to bare. After all, she'd already experienced this once, though that time it was someone she cared for far more. Regardless, even if they did save him now, he would just kill again, as was his nature. Kyle cursed.
Wrapping his arms around Helena rather suddenly he hugged her, resting his head on hers. After a moment, he spoke, his voice quiet, questioning. "Are you sure you could do it? This is a dark path we're walking, even if it's for the right reasons." He leaned back, looking at her face, touching her cheek lightly. "I would have much rather you stayed out of this world, but I suppose now that isn't possible." Kyle sighed, leaning his forehead against hers. It seemed he was rambling a bit now. "He really does deserve it... I just wish you didn't have to be a part of that." If left alive, there was no doubt Martin would keep on killing, and there was no way Kyle could ensure he didn't kill his eventually child as well. "I'd rather you weren't tainted, like I've been."
