Luciel stopped for a moment as David blinked off as to better adjust Ace in his arms. There wasn't anything worth saying, since he figured it would only be a moment. His attire wasn't the most ideal for so much physical labor, though he was managing for the moment. Still, a shred of envy teased his senses, wishing someone would carry [i]him[/i] around for a change...

[i]'Speaking of which'[/i] Luciel thought, almost saying it aloud when David returned. Although, the almost-slip helped him think of a reason to agree with moving towards potentially more people. "Yeah..." he mused, picking the pace back up, "...with the fire, local departments may be evacuating people" the suggestion came. It would certainly be easier, in some respects, to find a way to hide there after everyone moved out. Their pursuers may get caught up in combing the forest for them, with any luck. "We move in and take it easy for a day...if you're not above looting, that is?" he asked, turning to David with a mildly concerned expression at the realization of what he was proposing. To be honest, he cared enough about what David thought of him to try to avoid insulting him with the suggestion of petty crime. Frankly, they were past needing to worry about a few misdemeanors, a thought which lightened Luciel's mood in a dark way. 

[i]'We were treated like monsters...why not act like such?'[/i]
