Bael returned the hug she gave him, pressing her against his own body. Why was she hugging him, though? Perhaps she had indeed missed him... Or- oh, right. She was worried. He was a bit, too, but he wouldn't admit that so easily, it was shameful. When she explained that she had been saved by the woman with the short hair and Mercy, Bael's eyes glanced over at the angel-archer, blinking slowly. Well, it seems things were getting a bit more interesting, students showing their power and offensive prowess. Athalia was indeed a lovely place. And then...

The ground began to shake beneath his foot- instantly, he tightened the embrace around Lily, a hand resting against her back, while the other caressed the back of her head. [b]"Don't worry about this, okay? We'll be fine."[/b] Slowly, he unwrapped his arms from around her and his hands each grabbed her arms as he lowered himself slightly to look deep onto her eyes. [b]"And-..."[/b] Before he could speak, there was a thundering roar of pure anger- and that... aura. Bael instantly recognized it, his lips pursed, forming a thin line as he looked at the ground for a moment. The deathly voice spoke- and even without looking directly at him, Bael could feel the man's gaze hovering over him... damn, that was the only man in existance capable of making Bael feel nervous.

[b]"Lily."[/b] Bael gave her a gentle shake, as if to make sure she was looking at him. His blue eyes stared deeply at her own emerald orbs, his lips twisting upwards in a soft, somewhat forced smile. [b]"This is not your real form, Lily. You've been sealed by a demonic seal which regress your age and memories- that's why it hurts when you try to remember. Still focused? Listen to me, Lily. Pay attention."[/b] His voice was low, because he was deeply afraid of being heard by [i]him[/i]. [b]"You will ask the woman with the short hair to remove the seal. Just ask her this- if she questions, tell her I told you to do so. I'm certain she's not as ignorant as we may think."[/b] Or at least, he deeply hoped so. Releasing Lily, he straightened himself and began walking towards Thane.

Much to everyone's possible surprise, he simply stood by the man's side- a respectable distance away, still, bowing his head respectfully. He didn't even [i]look[/i] at the woman who had approached him as well, doing what he asked.

Tori had gained some confidence even when the demon dodged her attack so easily, but she wasn't going to stop now, no. Not in a lifetim-... The ground began to shake and the [b]dark[/b] (not fallen!!!) angel lost her balance, tripping on her own foot- the sword felt from her hands and was knocked away, before disappearing into dark matter. Quickly moving away from the swordsman demon- and from everyone else, she deeply hoped no one had seen her fall. Then, it stopped shaking. She used the time to stand herself up... It was only for a moment, however- hellfire erupted, from everywhere. And because she wasn't particularly prepared for that- she felt onto her back again, quickly standing up after roughly two seconds. [i]Damn, the hell is with my legs.[/i]

... And, as some of you might have anticipated... The moment the man appeared and roared in rage, she quickly felt back down again- this time, she just decided to remain on the ground, her chest heaving with every breath she took. She couldn't believe how terribly afraid she was, it was... a nightmare, all her pride, her glory- taken away by a single man-demon-thing, this was the second time in the day. The first, was just today with the other grotesque demon. When he looked at her, she was barely able to hide her fear, noticeably shifting her gaze away and trying to further the distance between them. [i]This is shameful..[/i]

For a moment, she thought the boy with the dark hair would attack the man on his own, her eyes already widening- but instead, all he did was bow his head. [i]What the hell?[/i]
