==Moena==

Marcus: "Christ! does that hurt?" Moena ignored the remark at first, she knew questions would come after each person's introduction so she would come back to that once that time comes.

But Yuriha was first to say something so Marcus had to wait a little.
"Moe-nee you're amazing, I didn't knew you could do all of these things!" "You know Lucifer-sama, Moe-nee? How does he look like?"
Moena smiled at the compliment before replying "He is a handsome man, long crimson hair and the face as if he never aged past 25"

Zeke: "You get to see him yourself not too long into the future, I plan to speak to him before out rating game regardless, I will take you all with me so you can meet Sirzeck and to introduce you to him as well"

Now finally it was Marcus his turn but he added some new questions to the list as well.
Marcus: "So wait, Mole-senpai What are with this "Queen Piece" you keep talking about it is it some kind of power or is some kind of ... demonic ... symbol of engagement?""Also is the boss literally some kind of noble?"
All the girls giggles but it was Moena who replied to the comment "no its not an engagement symbol" she then looked at Zeke from the corner of her eyes "though I wont mind if it was"
Quickly the atmosphere chilled "oeps, I angered someone" Moena followed "Dont worry, I was just teasing"
When she said that the atmosphere lessened to normal again, Zeke sighed at the issue before Moena continued "No the talk about a Queen is about the evil piece Master gave me"

Zeke broke in between at this point "That is right, I have yet to explain the evil pieces, each and everyone of you posses an evil piece, its the tool used to reincarnate individuals as yourself into devils, each piece is represented by a chess piece and grants perks to the individual, the queen piece means Moena is my right hand, she is in charge when I am not here and the piece itself is the strongest, having traits of the knight, rook and bishop pieces to a degree, though each has a higher level then the queen, Marcus you have the Knight piece, Sonitus you have a Bishop, I will explain the pieces tomorrow at training"
Moena continued right after that "for the question about master, you have to wait until its his turn"
She then touched the bone made corset and knocked on it hard "to come back to your other question, my wings have no nerves so I cant feel pain or anything from them"

-------------
==Hecate==

Hecate still had her eyes closed and arms crossed but after Moena finished the last question of Marcus she opened her eyes and started her turn, not caring if there may be more questions, if there were, then they could ask it when she was done.

“Hecate Prayer, 14 years old, I am Zeke’s first [Knight] and my gear is Flame charge, its powers consist of putting my hands or what I have in my hands on fire, but I made it so that it can even cover my back and increase my speed even more, I lost my folks when I was 5, had some foster homes for a year, lived on the streets for 7 years before Z found me a year ago, figured out my gear when I joined a street gang, saved me from rapes and used it to rob for a living, ended up burning the house down, killing all the kids, then Zeke found me"
As Hecate was telling this her eyes were clouded as she looked into the flames, you could tell she zoned out completely due to having to explain it all.

“don’t have a goal or anything anymore, that all died with my folks”

Zeke sighed "any questions?"
He kinda hoped there wont be any but it would not be fair to beginners to skip that.

"Is it true Zeke-sama?" Yuriha spoke excitedly when Zeke told her that they would have the chance to meet Sirzecks sometime in the near future, her eyes shone with anticipation, but it wouldn't last for long.

When Hecate began her introduction, Yuriha looked at the other girl with downcast eyes. She knew that Hecate's past was somewhat similar to hers, but Yuriha didn't had the idea that it was so similar, including having her own cursed power destroy all she deemed precious. Hecate's story hit too close to home for Yuriha's comfort and so all her excited mood vanished as quickly as it had come, she couldn't avoid unconsciously whispering, "He-chan..." while holding her own chest tightly.

There wasn't much that she could do, however, and Yuriha didn't knew how much it would hurt Hecate if she were to pity her, so she remained quiet, listening to the sound of the logs burning, silently cradling her right hand over her heart...

"That is right, I have yet to explain the evil pieces, each and everyone of you posses an evil piece, its the tool used to reincarnate individuals as yourself into devils, each piece is represented by a chess piece and grants perks to the individual, the queen piece means Moena is my right hand, she is in charge when I am not here and the piece itself is the strongest, having traits of the knight, rook and bishop pieces to a degree, though each has a higher level then the queen, Marcus you have the Knight piece, Sonitus you have a Bishop, I will explain the pieces tomorrow at training"

Marcus couldn't help but smiled. "Well I don't know what the knight piece does, but it sounds fucking awesome." he remarked sound excised. "Anyway I'm glad you don't feel pain from reforming your wing could that sound quite painful." He told her honestly. He then felt a bit guilty after hearing Hecate's story. Normally Marcus would accidentally call a religious figure after hearing that, but no; this time he was speechless. He was definitely sorry for calling her Little Miss Sunshine behind her back.

It was quiet for a while until Zeke cleared his throat, which was the notice Runa needed to begin with her own introduction as she was politely waiting.

“Hai, sumimasen, My name is Runa Fukada, I am 15 years old and was given Zeke-sama’s first [Bishop].
My sacred gear is called Leviathan follower as it has been found after the current Liviathan-sama took her position and it possesses the same powers of her bloodline where Liviathan-sama was born into, my sacred gear's exact ability is to control all types of water in the area, I prefer to us its powers for defense and healing instead of attacking to be honest.

I was born in Japan and my parents moved to Holland when I was 3 years old, only by the time that I was 13 years old that I learned why we had to move so suddenly." Runa was quiet as she took a breath of air having said so many things in a row.
"My father had an dept with the Yakuza and lacked the means to pay them them back the money he owed to them, he decided to take his family and fled to Holland, sadly enough however the Yakuza found my father after 13 years and decided to kidnapped us all." Runa took a new breath as the hardest part was coming up for her.
"my Father, as he had run out of options, decided to sell me to the yakuza in order to safe himself and my mother who by then was pregnant again, if he had not done that, then they would have killed all of us." Runa was quite for a little while after that before she continued again.

“At first the yakuza wanted to use my as an sex slave, but luck was on my side as they had a job which they could not do them self, my body however was small enough to fit in the vents so they decided to send me on this job.
The job was to infiltrate into a gangs home base and place a bomb, however the gang members had noticed my presence and wanted to kill me.
It was at that time that I activated my sacred gear for the first time and with its power I was able to run away before the timer of the bomb went off.
It was shortly after the entire experience that the Yakuza found out about my power and decided that instead of a sex slave they would use my sacred gear in order to assassinate those that for any reason had offended the Yakuza by drowning them."
She giggled then as a thought came up "Lucky for the boys that entire experience happened after they taught me a lot of the kamasutra teachings"
"After a few years Zeke-sama had visited Japan and for reasons I do now know, a lower member took a hit down on Zeke-sama and someone higher up decided to send me, this was what changed my and my family live for the better as Zeke-sama used his Aura sense and quickly learned of my situation and asked me to follow him instead, he promised that my parents would be safe as well and he made word of his promise as I was released from the Yakuza and my Fathers dept was suddenly paid off by an unknown benefiter.
Zeke-sama said I could visit my parents whenever I wish to, but to be honest I have never done so, I do write to them often so they know that I am safe and living a happy live"

She bowed to the group, signaling that she was done.

Zeke: "After questions it will be Yuriha her turn, so are there any questions?"

Marcus had listen to Runa speech and from that point on he felt that he was in some kind off twelve-step groups style meaning where everyone just get stuff off there chest. He couldn't actually think of a time when so many people around his age told him about there tragic pasts. Sudden right in the middle of her story Runa had said something to them that sound like she was flirting with them. He didn't know what Kamasutra means so he guesses he would have to look the word up later. By the end it sounds like Zeke had saved her from her Tragic situation. He couldn't help but clap in the boss honor. "I glad that almost everything is working out for you in the end." he told her sounding happy for her.

After Runa had finished her story, but before Yuriha could start her own, a doubt came to the fox girl's mind, so she asked innocently, "Runa-san, what's a Kamasutra?" before falling back into thought.

==Moena==

Yuriha her question raised different responses
Moena and Runa giggles
Hecate and Yumi pretended to not know of it themselves but their faces blushed to reveal otherwise
Ophilia seemed not to know herself about it but has heard the name and its general connection so why she looked puzzled she turbed red as well
Zeke did not reply at all about it, giving the impression that he knows enough not be bothered anymore.
Marcus seemd to look puzzled and interested himself as this may mean he won't have to look it up anymore.

In the end Moena was the one that answered "the kamasutra is a book with a lot of sexual positions, acts, facts and more, it even possess a lot of illustrations but for humans its hard to do 90% of the stuff writen down"
Zeke "not surprising as a devil has written it"

*Deleted double post*

"Hmm... it's like a manual, then?" Yuriha said while blushing a little, she didn't knew much about sex other than what she'd learned at health classes at school, but she knew that it involved a man and a woman, or two men, or two women embracing each other while naked.

The girl's imagination ran wild for a little, before she noticed that everyone was looking at her, but it wasn't until Zeke cleared his throat loudly and said, "If you please, Yuriha..." that she began talking, after a hasty "Sorry..."

"My name's Yuriha and I was born in a village somewhere on the mountains of this country, but I don't know where exactly. My father was a pureblood that fell in love with my mother, a girl from a ninja village that nursed him back to health after he fell from a high cliff."

"My mother died when I was really small and all she left me was this," Yuriha said after taking her mother's locket from within her blouse, "there's something inside, but not even Moe-nee's magic couldn't open it."

"After that, my father took me back to his own village, but he died too, my uncle told me both of their deaths were because of me, because of my power and he locked me for long time. One day he cast a spell that made me lose my mind and when I woke up again there were a lot of dead people around me and I was the one who killed them with something my uncle called a balance breaker."

"Then, they banished me from the village and told me that if I ever came back they would kill me, no one wanted me on my mother's village also, they called me a monster and threw rocks at me to make me go away. Wherever I went people tried to hurt me, until the day Lucifer-sama allowed Zeke-sama to add me to his family as a pawn worthy of four others."

"Yuriha's power is like this," she said as she lifted her right hand and a second later a vicious looking gauntlet made of jet-black dragon scales appeared on it, "I don't know much about it other than that it's part of a very powerful dragon that lives inside of me, everyone hates it and calls it cursed power because of this," Yuriha then picked one of her marshmallows and just as she touched it, it was completely obliterated, turned into nothing than fine dust by her corrosion power.

"All that I want is live happily with my family, and I'll do whatever I can to protect the people I love," Yuriha said while looking at the others direction, though her gaze landed on Hecate after that, as their eyes crossed, Yuriha looked to the side fast, trying to hide her embarrasment, but couldn't avoid blushing.

Just as she was about to finish her speech, Yuriha added "Also, I fought a bear today..."

The it was eke's turn to ask if anyone had any questions and, if not, announce who wold be coming right after Yuriha.

What was it with everyone here and having tragic background stories? Oh well, it didn't matter. All of this information could be used at a later date, for whatever reason he may need to use it. Sonitus was currently sitting as far back from the group as he could without bringing notice to himself.

["Runa-san, what's a Kamasutra?"]

Sonitus rolled his eyes, the furry brat once again was grating on his nerves. It's not that the question was stupid, he didn't expect someone of her age to understand. It was the fact that the kid didn't know when to keep her trap shut. Curiosity always was something that bothered him, especially when it was from other people.

He found himself wondering about various things while the group went around the campfire with their pathetic histories. Why was it that he was so easily beaten by those thugs? That was embarrassing, a terrible failure on his part. He decided to move onto other things, rather than dwell on past failures. For one, why weren't these idiots talking about weaknesses. It would be far more useful than their background stories, and probably less time too. Since he didn't know his powers, it would keep him from giving away anything too important.

==Yumi==

As it seemed there were no questions Zeke tapped Yumi on her leg to show her it was her turn.
If there would be questions for Yuriha then they could ask them after Yumi, same go's for the other girls if questions started to rise.

“I am Yumi Kurokawa, 16 years old, I am Zeke’s second [Pawn] the value of 3 pieces, I got 2 gears, the first is the Goddess Long bow, it allows me to shoot multiple types of magical arrows, My second gear is the Soul Giver, a gear that allows me to create souls of animals and mythical creatures, I need to put them into a raw elemental source after making them, effectively creating my own army, what with this group of raw elemental users is quite useful, to keep my story short, Zeke has saved my from a loverboy drugsdealer and an mother with no sense of love, don’t want to go into details, my goal is similar to Moena’s but different, rest is a secret”

==Ophelia==

before Zeke could ask for questions Ophelia started to speak up, being nervous and knowing it was her turn next she just started without waiting for Zeke.
Zeke however did not seem to mind and smiled as he knew she was nervous.
“I, I, I am O, Ophelia Heart, 15 years old, I think I had the [Rook] piece and my gear seems to be called Bracerock, Z, Zeke said it can control earth, Zeke has saved on multiple levels, first I called him in order to escape my physically abusive father and passive aggressive mother that used me as a shield, then during the reincarnation ritual a fallen exorcist had entered the house and killed my parents, Zeke took me out of there quickly, later I returned with Moena to get my stuff and strangely enough a fallen angel was there, Zeke showed up again, then I basically started to live with the group till you guys came" she said towards the boys, not noticing how little sense that comment made "I have been a devil for about a week now, I have to find a new dream”

Zeke nodded "so any questions or shall we go to Marcus now"

(OOC: I know that in Ophelia there are some grammar errors, this is on purpose as she is so nervous)

That had been a long day for Yuriha, she had never spent as much energy as she did today and so, halfway through Yumi's speech, the little fox girl was already sleeping, rolled into a small furry ball.

"Mmm...strawberry shortcake... mmm," she said unconsciously not a big while after, just as a conspicuous amount of drool flowed from her tiny lips.

“I, I, I am O, Ophelia Heart, 15 years old, I think I had the [Rook] piece and my gear seems to be called Bracerock, Z, Zeke said it can control earth, Zeke has saved on multiple levels, first I called him in order to escape my physically abusive father and passive aggressive mother that used me as a shield, then during the reincarnation ritual a fallen exorcist had entered the house and killed my parents, Zeke took me out of there quickly, later I returned with Moena to get my stuff and strangely enough a fallen angel was there, Zeke showed up again, then I basically started to live with the group till you guys came?"

"Fallen angel?" he said to himself. He then thought back into what Zeke told him. Apparently a rogue fallen angel tried to kill him for some reason, also there was a leader of some kind: Azazel who killed the one who attacked him. "Do we have any specify enemies, one that specify target this group?" He asked them. After the group asked their questions it was his turn to share.

Marcus then got up, clear his throat and begin to speak. "Hello, my name is Marcus Wilson, as as you all may have heard I was given the rank of knight by the boss. My father was Asian man and my mother is a British woman. Even though I was young I remember my family used to be quite happy, until my father was killed in the middle of a gunfight between two criminal factions in his way home from work. My father passing begin put my mother in position where we were forced to move into an apartment in a bad part of town, I can still remember being awoken by gun fire down the street one night. During most of my grade school life I was bullied by kids who bully me for my size, red hair, and my European heritage to a point where I was forced to push back, and as you can imagine i couldn't push them back very far at first, but as time when on I was able to learn how to compensate for my lack of size and fight those who were quite bigger than me."

Marcus then sighed as he wonder if he should tell the rest of his peers this. By the end he thought it was only fair since yuri-chan told them how scary her powers were, plus he decided it would help her if he confessed this to the group so she will know that she is not alone. "Sometime during middle school I adopted some kind of hero complex and start picking fight with those would cause others problem, Which seems to have gotten me painted as a bully myself, granted some of the people I fought may have been innocent people who were just having a bad day. One time i ended up beating up someone so badly that he ended up in the emergency room and I end up in Juvenile Hall for months on end, I actually forgot my actual sentence." He told them while scratching behind his head while looking away.

After I was done with middle school I my mother had enrolled me in the academy, Oh and by the way she was about to get herself a good job and moved us out of those apartment." He added in the middle. "Anyway my mother decided to enroll me in our academy to help keep me out of trouble-Bravo for her, but by then I already decided to turn over a new leaf and end my Templar Crusade. From there my life was peaceful ... until yesterday when I was impaled by a magic spear in the middle of the forest." He told them looking a bit shaky. "I was actually conscious long to asked for Zeke's help." He told them while looking down at his feet.

Marcus then took a few seconds of silence before adding something. "Also I actually got strip search in juvy, granted they didn't touch me still found it unnecessary and awkward." he said before laughing at himself in order to help lighten thing up a bit. He then looked at Yuriha to see how she looked. "Is she asleep" He remark in surprise, he can't believe he actually confessed that for her and she fall asleep sometime before that.

"Also there has to be someone hood who childhood wasn't all death and despair before i join, What about you Orin? You seem jolly,you much have had a good life." he pointed out kind of jokingly,thinking he was in the right place to say that.

IC note: Yes they actually strip-search all criminals coming in Juvenile Hall, regardless of there crime.

"Stupid fucking kid...think you can do that shit and get away with it!?" the man without a face asked as he beat the small child, his large fist smashing against the child's face and shattering the cartilage in his nose easily. Too afraid to cry, the child sits there as the man pummels him, the wallet that he'd stolen falling from out of his pocket hitting the concrete of the alleyway. How could it have come to this, the kid wondered. He'd been poor all his life, been sick all his life, been hungry all his life, so why? Why did whatever God there was just ignore him when stuff like this happened? Ah well...not like it'd matter anyways. His nose was broken and bleeding, and he could feel that one of his ribs were cracked or broken from the pain in his chest, after the man had kicked his chest. He'd get to ask God all kinds of things, it seemed like. Like why he seemed to hate the poor.


And then, the rats came. Dozens, no, hundreds spilling out of the gutters and various grates leading down into the sewer system. Unknowingly, the child activated a power he'd had all along, albeit a bit too late. The man was gone, and so too would his life leave. And so, the rats, knowing only that he was their master, huddled around him in a warm, and calming embrace. That was the first time he'd been hugged.

Jolting from his sleep, Creighton broke into a cold sweat and stared at his palm for a moment, before looking up. Looks like he'd overslept. Not like it mattered when you were a hermit. Pulling his tarp off of his body, he stretched for a moment before his back popped. Sleeping on the ground sucked, far more than anybody could imagine. Not like he wasn't used to not having a nice, soft pillow by now though. Rising to his feet, Creighton yawned and walked over to the nearby tree he'd found the day before. Climbing up it after stumbling a few times, the raggedy and sleepy demon looked out over the area and...saw light. Eyes going wide, he cursed under his breath and said: "Mantle!" after which a thick, tan leather coat formed over his dark grey shirt, the collar of the coat having a solid mass of dark brown fur, that writhed slightly as he breathed in and out. Staring out over the area, he spotted the group's campfire and wondered: "...Exorcists? Thought I gave them the slip back in the Phillipines...can't be Fallen Angels. Damn ex-bible-thumpers wouldn't be caught dead anywhere that didn't serve them 600 year old wine. Could just be campers, but...". Blinking once, his eyes glowed with a strange, hollow pink light. "...Definitely some kind of barrier around here. I can't think of any campers that can make something this big. I need to check this out...Ruthie, Winfield. We're heading out."

At the verbal command, the masses of rats on his coat divided into two packs, slowly converging their flesh and fur into one singular body each, one missing its right eye, and one missing its left eye. Squeaking slightly, the two obediently followed behind their master as his body passed through a bright green magic circle, his form shifting into a rat almost identical to the ones he'd had before. Scampering down the mountainside with his two guards, he eventually reached the barrier and passed through it, no doubt setting off the alarms set. "Things get hairy, we bail. Can't risk getting caught now...not even by other demons. No place is safe for a stray."

==Zeke==

"Do we have any specify enemies, one that specify target this group?" Marcus asked after Ophelia's introduction.
Zeke shook his head to Marcus his question "No we do not, both cases are separate from each other, in Ophelia's case it was just the Fallen that had the stray exorcist working under him that ended up checking the situation, as that is as an other country then Holland where you met one, that one, though I also have my wonders about its reason for its actions was at least honest with trying to spark a new war and hoped that by killing an innocent bystander I would spring to action, admitted he was right but as I did not inflicted the killing strike and Azazel himself excused me it ended up being ignored and peace remained." He explained, giving more insight in what happened exactly and hoping Marcus would see that these two were completely separate cases.

Then it was Marcus his own turn.
Like all the times before, everyone, aside Yuriha, listened closely.
"Also I actually got strip search in juvy, granted they didn't touch me still found it unnecessary and awkward."
An awkward atmosphere was set up on that remark, it is unclear of some wanted to laugh or otherwise, Only Zeke could tell what was going trough everyones minds by sensing their aura, but he would never tell, hell he did not even wanted to sense who was feeling what, but he noticed there are those that think its funny, are feeling pity but even those that are seemingly imagining it in a sexy way, making him shake his head.

"Is she asleep" Marcus asked after finishing his story To which Moena stood up and used some magic to create a blanket "Not surprising, its late and the dummy did fight a bear, just what I thought actually"

"Also there has to be someone hood who childhood wasn't all death and despair before i join, What about you Orin? You seem jolly,you much have had a good life."
That one remark turned the entire group silent, the crackling of the fire and the sounds of nature was all you could hear.

After a few very long seconds Zeke finally spoke up, though it was not something you would expect.

"Seems we have curious visitors coming"
At that remark the Girls at least quickly tensed up, no one should be in the entire area as far as they knew.
Zeke smiled eased them somewhat "dont worry, judging from his aura he is more afraid of us, I guess he is being hunted yet he came towards us so he must know we wont hurt him or his two familiars, you all just stay here, I will greet our guest"
With that Zeke stood up and walked towards where the unknown aura is coming from only to stop not too far from the campsite off with his hands up, letting the visitor know he would greet him unarmed and alone, though they would stay nearby enough so the group could listen in.
Someone that is afraid yet wanted to check up should be able to appreciate that much and understand that Zeke also dont want to move to far from his group for his own hide as his groups safety, making the issue that he came barehanded to greet the stranger all the more noticeable.

Soon after the 3 rats were scampering down the mountainside.
"greetings, dont worry we wont harm you or your familiars, though I understand if you dont trust us that easily" Zeke spoke up to the individual, on purpose to see the aura of the individual pretending to be a giant rat himself.

Orin was watching Yuriha sleep with a smile on his face before Marcus asked his question hoping to get a good happy story out of the happy go lucky one. Standing up Orin had a rather serious look on his face as he reached up to push up his glasses, his smile gone for all but a moment before it returned. "Yeah I have had a pretty nice life. I am the retainer to my mistress Windglaive and Yuriha's future husband!" He started to laugh but even that was suddenly cut off when Zeke mentioned they may have guests.

"Aww, and here I was planning on going into detail"

Marcus could help but scratch the back of his head awkwardly as the group went into silence over his comment on how he was stripped search and how everyone in the group seems to have had a unfortunate life before joining the group. Who knew that such topics were inappropriate to bring up. HE did address Orin who in turn took on a serious look on his face that he thought he would see.

"Yeah I have had a pretty nice life. I am the retainer to my mistress Windglaive and Yuriha's future husband!" He told him.

Okay ... i think i better stop digging this hole before it gets too deep to get out of. He thought to himself.

"Seems we have curious visitors coming" Zeke pointed out putting the group on edge.

It was at that moment when Marcus looked at Zeke suspiciously. He suspected him of sugar-coating the situation.

"dont worry, judging from his aura he is more afraid of us, I guess he is being hunted yet he came towards us so he must know we wont hurt him or his two familiars, you all just stay here, I will greet our guest" Zeke told the group sure of himself.

It seems that he was willing to risk his own life based on this hunch. He did know what was going on so he decided to pay attendance to what the group was doing. "Be careful boss." He told him nervously before grabbing a thick piece of wood to defense himself with.

Continuing to run along, Creighton started to wonder if it was even a good idea to charge straight towards the campfire. For all he knew, they were just some dumb campers out in the middle of the mountains...but then again, there were tons of better places to camp out. A lot of which DIDN'T have a barrier around it. Just as he stopped to let his rats catch up, he wondered if he could send a few small ones out to spy, see if the campers posed a threat...or had any food they wouldn't miss. He'd run out of his favorite crackers two days ago, and ever since he's been having the craving for more.

Suddenly, he stopped...someone was coming close. A man who looked to be in his early-to-mid 20s with black hair in a ponytail had approached him. Cautiously, Creighton stared at him with his luminous eyes, before he looked to his side and the other two rats moved back a foot or two. Walking forward slightly, he entered his glyph again and regained his normal form. Staring at the man appraisingly for a moment, he says: "I take it you're not just a camper then...and you definitely smell like a demon. What family are you from?"

The two Giant Rats waited behind him, watching Zeke cautiously, as if waiting for him to move a muscle to harm their master.

==Zeke==

As Zeke watched the main rat turn humanoid he was intrigued, it was not something you see every day so to Zeke this was clearly a sign of a sacred gear or some real special magic.
"I take it you're not just a camper then...and you definitely smell like a demon. What family are you from?" The man asked.
Zeke sighed "it is complicated but you could say I am not part of any of the pillars, I have been raised with the Gremory family if it helps any, though I am not a member of them"
Zeke looked the man in his eyes, his aura was clearly demon but he had a gear and was living alone, the man seemed familiar but he could not put his finger on it.
"What about you, seeing your situation I take it your a stray? did you kill your master, run away, get kicked out or lose your master some other way?" The moment Zeke uttered the final option the man's aura sparked "I see, your master was killed I take it, then your running away from the killer, if you wish you could stay with us, you can sleep in a real bed, eat some real food and take a dip in the hot spring, if the killer shows you shall be under my protection"
Zeke had no idea who the killer could be, but the man could use some good rest and he could tell from the spark before that the man loved or cared for its old master, it is a shame for someone to become a stray under such matters.

(OOC: yeah I am going to use his aura sense more now for conversations, Zeke stayed low but his time to start showing his real abilities is coming now, and I guess most of the new members will be like, how did he know that?!)

Creighton listened to the man speak, his eyes tracking his every motion, looking for some kind of tell. Even if he was a demon, he couldn't trust them. Strays were considered dangerous, and if anybody else had found him, they likely would have all rushed him at the same time. Something was...odd about this guy. Part of the Gremory family? Something about his story was fishy. Definitely suspicious. Creighton glared at him for a moment as he started asking about how he became a stray. Before he could tell him to mind his own business, the man focused on what was the actual truth, all without Creighton saying a word to him about how Hildebrand met her end.

Sighing as the man offered, Creighton held his stomach. He hadn't gotten a good meal in a week, just berries and small native animals. It was hard to try and hunt something big; he didn't want to leave a massive blood trail leading to his little outpost. Begrudgingly, he says: "I'd love to stay the night, but that's where I draw the line. I don't need other people trying to protect me from something I'm hunting anyways. I'm Creighton."

At his greeting, the two rats look at each other and nod, before separating back into their many pieces and scrambled up Creighton's legs and coat, resting behind his neck as a large bundle that blended in as a giant mass of brown fur once more. Putting his hands in his pockets, he asked: "So, Mr. Gremory, mind telling me how you seem to know so much about me? I don't recall telling you about my master at all...for all you know, I'm just a stray on a killing spree."
