Feitan felt an odd pressure whenever he was around Chrollo. It felt painful, and he hated it. Had his older brother not recognized him or was it too dark to see? Was he not worth remembering or was it suppressed along with his other memories? Maybe there was a way to get him to remember or maybe there was no way at all?
He walked over to the hall that looked over the ballroom, having made a circle back to that area for the fifth time since this whole meeting had started. He swore to himself. If he heard Chrollo call that Mammon man his father again, he would personally make sure it never happened again. He heard them say something about how some experimented super humans were part of his abductor's plans, and that they were the intruders that had invaded the building.
Feitan felt like he couldn't be more surprised, but some of the troupe members started talking immediately. Things such as what it could possibly mean that the army had come after them and what were they supposed to do about this new threat, but Feitan felt that none of that really mattered. Not now at least. They first needed to get Chrollo on their side, to make sure he wasn't lying-
"And what would you want in exchange for this information." Kurapika's voice echoed through the room, silencing all of the troupe members.
Feitan stopped in the pacing that he was unconsciously doing, straining his ears to hear the reply. There was a silence and a shuffling of feet on the floor below, the short transmuter assuming that it was Chrollo's.
"If it's not too much trouble, I would ask if I could not request in front of everyone. If it was two people maybe, but…" Chrollo trailed off, and Feitan could tell everyone was already starting to think of reasons to oppose.
"Understood." Kurapika said immediately, the sound of him standing from where he was catching in Feitan's ears. "Shizuku, go get Feitan. We'll hear his request in another room."
Feitan felt like running to avoid confronting Chrollo again. He wasn't even sure if he himself was ready to see his brother. He couldn't stand it if all he got was a blank stare and a question to who he was. He was about to bolt before he realized Shizuku was before him, staring at him and waiting for him to notice her there.
"Let's go." was all she said before walking past him, probably showing him the way to the room they were supposed to have the separate meeting in.
He didn't even have time to think, his body moving on it's own to follow her, despite his mind protesting. His body managed to get him all the way to the door before he stopped, finally catching control of what he was doing.
"I don't want to-" he started to say to Shizuku but stopped when he heard Kurapika talking.
"You have your smaller audience, now what is it that you want?"
Feitan shifted his vision past Shizuku and to Chrollo, who was currently staring at his feet.
"I know that I don't know anything about before I was taken in by the Mammon family, and I feel that it will benefit us both if my request is fulfilled, no matter how selfish of a request it may be." he started, looking up and towards where Feitan assumed Kurapika was standing. "But I would like for you and your troupe to help me remember my past."
