Teraph eyed the phone in Alois' hand, seeing the contact name on the screen. Zico flashed him a look that expressed just how he felt about the notion of letting the human contact someone but as he was still in trouble he wisely chose not to verbalise those thoughts.<br/><br/>"Make it quick then" Teraph sighed. As troublesome as his little brother was, Teraph understood the need to protect his younger sibling and couldn't bring himself to stop Alois from doing the same. Both demon's listened carefully to the call making sure Alois wouldn't try anything stupid and land them in even more trouble.<br/><br/>"It isn't bad" the older spoke referring to his hand "Zico will patch me up back at his place won't you?" he turned to his brother who was still pretending he wasn't listening.<br/><br/>After a moment Zico nodded softly "We have to be quick" a glare at the human "It'll only get worse the longer you leave it. I can stop it progressing but you'll need Malakh to heal the damage done so far"<br/><br/>Teraph nodded in acknowledgment "I somehow knew you would one day use the Soul Blades against me. I suppose that's what I deserve for giving them to you"<br/><br/>"I didn't! I mean... I wasn't supposed to..." Another long pause passed between them as Teraph allowed his brother to feel guilty, keeping a straight face while secretly enjoying seeing Zico in such a humble state. He could have dodged the knife and protected the human in a number of other ways, but the demon knew that him getting injured would be the easiest way to make Zico cooperate. Perhaps it was a bit of a low move using Zico's guilt against him, but he knew how stubborn his brother could be when he didn't want to do something and this would just be easier for everyone involved.<br/><br/>"Take Alois back to your place. I will join you once I have finished cleaning here" Teraph decided and of course Zico had to protest<br/><br/>"Why my place? I don't want him there the whole place will stink!" He argued<br/><br/>"You really think he'll survive the night if I bring him back to the main house? Zico, He'll be dead before he even walks through the door". Zico cast his eyes down again, knowing that his brother was right. "Just take him and stop arguing with me". Teraph's uninjured hand placed on Alois back as he gently pushed him towards his brother. "If you hurt him in anyway... I'll tell Domiel what you did to my hand"<br/><br/>Zico's gaze hardened. He would be in so much trouble if Domiel found out and they both knew it. "Fine." he agreed finally "But you need to hurry up, that wound won't close itself". Zico tore the sleeve of his shirt. Revealing intricate tattoos all the way up one of his pale arms. "Show me". Teraph sighed as he held the injured hand out to his brother to examine. The wound itself wasn't that large, just a gash over the palm of his hand and a few cuts along his fingers. The concerning part was the way his veins raised to the surface and the black vein-like lines that rippled out from the wounds. "Soulflare likes you" he sighed.<br/><br/>"It'll be fine. Just take the human and go. I won't be far behind you" Teraph spoke with authority, wrapping up their interaction as he pushed Alois further forwards to his brother.<br/><br/>Zico sighed, giving the human a mean glare before rolling his eyes. Why his older brother wanted to go to so much trouble for one pathetic human was beyond him. "Close your eyes" Zico spoke bluntly. His hands gripping Alois's shoulders and turning him around "Unless you want dirt in them." With a final glance at his brother who was still giving him a warning glare, Zico allowed his wings to re-emerge. His hands now slid under the human's arms as he pulled their bodies closer, wrapping his arm's securely around the body slightly smaller than his. With a flap of those powerful wings they lifted, dirt and mud spraying into the air around them from the action as Zico propelled them above the height of the buildings.
