At first, joy! The blind guy…Dante lived! This faded in moments as the man grabbed at Thomas, leaving Kadia confused. Then, Na’lsa appeared, and Thomas gave up…and died. Kadia looked on in shock at the sudden movement of Diogenes, and almost reflexively acted to defend the people she watched over. However, the moment flew by, and Thomas now lay, dead, upon the floor.
“I was supposed to watch over him…” she muttered, feeling guilt even though the man was content to let a demon walk alongside them. A glare towards Diogenes quickly reminded her of the current threat, and her wheels of fire, one bent from battle, looking like a reaper’s scythe, spun nearer to Na’lsa. Kadia’s stance was that of a viper, ready to strike.
“Foul though Thomas was, I will not let a demon of Gluttony feast upon him.” Kadia’s pride remained strong, and she believed strongly in honoring the dead.

Rurik, still confused over the Not-man, responded to his mistress’s stance, arcing his tail like the weapon it was, and letting out growls broken by barks.

Activating Firenet…
ERROR: Firenet device blocked

Rurik hit the tail against the ground, dislodging the blockage.

Reloading Firenet…
Firenet loaded, ready to fire

Rurik gave a purr of fulfillment, and kept his focus on Na’lsa, with his ears open to other dangers in this realm.

Kadia looked at Tanja in unpleasant surprise. This person seemed so laconic, so why would she speak now. The sentence distracted her momentarily as Tanja commanded attention. No…she could not let some monster do this. Already, it had hurt the gunman…Kadia realized she did not even know his name…
Think, genius, think! There has to be a better way out of this…
Kadia noticed an uneven flow in Na’lsa/Lev’s aura…could something be done there?
