Faelan was a little pissed when he realized he hadn't been getting away from the bond, but rather the bond was sneaking up on him. He held himself back as he picked up Shula, the anger inside him wanting to tear Shula a new one. Even as she screeched in his ears, the bond felt almost like a warm cushion inside of him, and it pissed him off. It almost felt like his subconscious was happy she was here. Or relieved. He couldn't tell, and that only made it worse. It's like the bond had been stretched, and not being pulled was just a good feeling, and he hated it.<br/><br/>So he did the most reasonable thing he could think of, and just ignored her as she yelled from his back. Shaking his arm a bit, there was the familiar feeling of tingles running through his arm as the metal seemed to fade, his skin returning to the pale white he was supposed to be. It almost made his arm feel asleep, and he decided to focus on that instead of the woman he was carrying. Following close behind Jack, he started to wonder why everyone was so scared of the demon, he looked normal enough. It was something Faelan would have to ask him about after they dealt with Shula.<br/><br/>As they walked through the hallway, he loosened his grip on Shula, letting her slip from his shoulder with a satisfying thunk as she landed on the ground. It was everything in his power to keep him from smiling as he continued walking, ignoring her ever more. Jack's comments only made it better, and he knew that as soon as they were out of earshot from anyone in this bar that mattered, Shula was going to have a mouthful she expected him to listen to.<br/><br/>Stepping into the office of the demon hiring him, Faelan decided he'd actually get to know his employer instead of blindly making money. Having to fetch Shula made him think that if he had to work around her, he might as well know the full situation, considering being sent into anything with her, he'd need to know what his 'boos' would be thinking sending them both. "So Jack, I do need to ask one question, you don't honestly seem that intimidating, so how do you have everyone of the mercs out there by the ballsack?"
