The sudden snapped answer surprises the angel, causing his head to whip around. He tenses slightly but relaxes, realizing the absurdity of what the demon is trying to claim. 'Is he seriously trying to claim the has taken up the cloth? That's. . . Not possible, is it? But, if he has, and any of that praying is real, then. . .God knows he's here, and is letting it happen!? How!?' He has to calm himself down with a long breath before he feels open enough to listen to the rest of what the other male has to say. He listens quietly, his gaze once more relaxing even at the absurdity being presented him.
A faintly sad note enters his voice as his gaze drops. “I would not show myself anyways. I know how humans would panic at the sight of me. . .” At the final declaration Lai is ready to agree with the man, however before he can even lift his gaze the beast is walking away, too far now to speak up without sounding like he's yelling at the demon. With a slow exhale he watches, his head tilted to the side. 'He seriously believes what he's saying I think. It's not like we angels bring the war down on the people for fun, or even on purpose most times. It's like, he blaming me personally for the suffering of these people! I have never harmed a human, even on accident!'
He lets out a small noise, almost like a low growl, at being judged by a demon of all things, but it is the only sign of his indignant feelings. 'If I want answers, I mustn’t goad the beast. He seems ready to explode as it is and if he goes over the edge the little ones will be the least of his concern' His eyes narrow as the priest vanishes from sight and he lets out a hissing sigh. 'What is the world coming to when Yahweh himself suffers a demon to dwell unchallenged on holy ground. . .' With another sigh, this one sounding tired, he turns just in time to catch hold of Javier, chuckling as the rest of the kids follow, too excited to follow the rules of the game.
He simply stands around watching as the game wraps up, glancing up as one of the older youths come out. 'Oh, it's the girl who greeted me' He smiles at her, earning a blush. The color does not go unnoticed by the angel but as he knows better than to let it get to him he lets it pass, quickly switching his focus on to the youngsters gathered around him. As they begin to plead with the elder he smiles, adding his own happy inquiring eyes to the group. Once they get the okay though they all suddenly turn to him. His eyes go wide. “What?”
They tug on his hands and arms. “Go with us!”
“Yeah, pleeeaassee!?”
“It's better with an adult asking, and you agree, don't you?”
Lai's stomach drops a bit. 'I don't know kids, I may actually hurt your case here. . .' However, as it is with the little ones at home, when those bright shining eyes lock on to him with the sincere plea behind them he quickly gives in, letting out a half laugh before a gentle sigh. They all cheer and crowd around him as he heads inside to find the father, positive the demon isn't ready to see him yet. The children hush when they finally find the priest and as soon as he's sure he's got the man's attention he gives him a soft smile. “The children are wondering if they could have a picnic outside today. They seem to really want it.” He bats his eyes cutely, looking very much like one of the little ones who take it from there with please and big shiny eyes.
