[ If this had been Reign from three years ago, when he was only beginning to discover more about Shell, the scene before him would have shocked him. As it was now, he was still reeling from the fact that the Banker had hurt Shell, had caused him tears (as usual, because he'd seen Shell's puffy eyes).
It had indeed taken Reign a while to accept the fact that Shell and One/Eric loved each other, and had sort of (grudgingly) given his blessing, in a way. But seeing this past, certainly showed Reign a history he was sure Shell didn't want him to ever know, much less witness.
He gasped when memory-Shell grabbed his own throat, trying to choke himself, and Reign moved with the intention to stop his friend. Though he didn't need to, not with the way One put a stop to it.
What Reign didn't expect to hear was those words, that Shell didn't want to be a vampire. That was a first. Reign never thought Shell wanted to be anything but. However, it kind of made sense, since Reign knew what Shell had gone through when he decided to change his diet to animal blood.
Slowly, so as not to startle his friend, Reign turned to face Shell. He reached out and carefully took both of Shell's hands in his. ]
You don't have to say more. It must have been painful for you.
[ As much as Reign knew that Shell was attempting to switch his diet, knowing that his friend hadn't want to be a vampire had been shocking. Reign's reaction must be quite odd to Shell, but neither of them know that they were both coming from different timelines, each thinking they had arrived from the same period. ]
