Heaven

Sage shook his head and turned from the bartender back to the conversation with his new friend. He'd gained the attention of two ladies, one dark, one white. “Hm? Sorry about that, I ah...I missed the conversation, I was learning how I can drink given my uh...my curse,” Sage muttered scratching the back of his head.

Katarina was taken aback for a moment, noticing the white hair's lips – perfectly still, saved for when he opened them to drink. She blinked a moment as the pieces fell together. His voice. That was his sacrifice. So they gave him the ability to communicate. It made her wonder what they did for those that gave up their hearing. Maybe not all were so lucky. His voice must have been precious. It was, after all, a sacrifice more readily seen than her abstract inability to forgive. She'd lost much since turning up in Heaven because of her sacrifice, but her body remained intact. “Sticking together is how you will survive, believe me on that. Are you...sure that this is something you want? To bring you up to speed, Sage was it? We were asking if you two gentlemen would like to form a hunting group. What do you say?”

Sage gulped, then took the rest of his drink the bartender gave him, “Y-yeah. Sage is right. Hoo boy. Alright. Well, I figure I can't stay in that shit hole of an apartment forever, and you feel the same way, right, Luka? But what are demons like? They were...they were people once too, right?”

Katarina glanced over to Avani and swallowed when her ice blue eyes went to Sage once more, “Well, you see...Your first time is going to be hard, unless you were a murderer in life – which is only possible if you were a soldier. They are the only ones that have ever taken a life that make it here. I'm going to...go out on a limb and guess that neither of you were soldiers.”
