the young solder charged Verdia, her hand instinctively gripping his wrists as he held her by the throat "What'd you do you flea bitten wench?!" He barked at her. The voice held a commanding tone yet with a hint of sadness due to the holders current state. The larger demon beamed his glare to his bed ridden comrade, he was waiting for the one holding the girl to just get it over with.

"leave her..." a weak voice spoke up. Gawking a little, surprised at the command from the young prince. Snarling a little as he released is prisoner "Yes my lord.." he seemed displeased by this order. Verdia leaned against the wall regaining her breath as the solider changed his attention to his ill friend. "..." the solider was silent knowing the tone he had gotten from the prince all too well.

As the bed ridden demon opened his eyes a sudden chill filled the room, though still weak his power was very much so present. "I gave no order to assault the girl..." He said nothing more after that waiting for a reply of some sort. The third demon in the room snorted and walked out of the room after giving the prince a slight bow. He didn't look towards the girl as he left.

A few moments later Verdia let out a heavy sigh still rubbing her neck a little. "Sorry for his hastiness.. he gets ahead of himself at times." the prince was referring to the one that had grabbed her by the throat. Verdia shook her head he didn't need to say sorry to her. "It's my fault your in this condition.. I'm the one who should be saying sorry." She was ashamed of herself that she hadn't been of more help to him, she was a cleric at the least she could have assisted him in some manner.

He chuckled a little listening to her blaming herself for what had happened. "I did nothing against my will, if I had the chance I'd do it again" his laugh had been reassuring to her. Once again he stopped talking an took a few heavy breaths. The poison was working it's way through his body, even being a demon this type seemed to be deadly.. He questioned his own actions by this time wondering if he had hastened his own demise. It would have come in one form or another but this wasn't what he expected it to be.

Verdia kept where she was wanting to avoid his eyes, she was breaking down into tears by this point. No one had bothered to be nice to her and he had done everything in his power to be a friend to her.. she had noticed it all too late though.
