[ Alastor's methods varied from seeking someone to temporarily entrust them with this secret of his and then consuming them should they cross any lines to simply isolating himself entirely for long periods of time and allowing the pain to pass on its own.

Good. I doubt she would react well to seeing us like this. [ He wasn't naïve, after all. He knew there was still very little trust between himself and the Princess of Hell, even if he was slowly working his way into her good graces. Regardless, he would catch little moments, the hesitation to say something around him, the refusal to entrust him with a matter. She was sheltered and naïve when it came to the issues she sought to solve in Hell, but just smart enough to not trust Alastor completely.

Not in... a very long time. The last time was... perhaps a few decades after my death? He stuck with me for quite some time, got close to me. I... thought we could trust each other, but.... Then he met someone and things took quite the turn for the worse.
That was a little more than seven years ago, now, that we had our falling out. Since then I have merely... gotten by. Mostly by ignoring the need until I am able to come back to my senses.
