At seeing the human withdraw his weapon, Teraph loosened the hold he had on the males body. At least the kid was smart enough not to try to attack them and challenge his troublesome little brother further. Teraph made no moves to push the human away from him, letting the male use him a support while he focused on catching his breath and processing the situation, truly Teraph did not envy him.<br/><br/>"Alois" the older demon repeated, "I'm sorry you got caught up in this"<br/><br/>At the unexpected comment and smirk from Alois, Teraph couldn't help the genuine laugh that pulled from him. "You're right they don't" he chuckled.<br/><br/>Zico on the other hand found the remark far less amusing, his hands gripped tight around his blade. How dare such a pathetic life from insult him like that. Perhaps he had a point, Zico didn't listen, even now he wouldn't listen. Planning a quick attack, Zico thrust the knife in his hand forwards, aiming for the humans face... only to find the it stopped centimetres from connecting, the blade gripped tight in Teraph's hand.<br/><br/>The moment Zico realised what his brother had done his face paled.<br/><br/>"W-why did you do that?" He asked in shock. Blood trickled down his brother's hand and wrist still grasped around the blade. "You idiot you know that won't heal!"<br/><br/>"Are you done now, Zico?" Teraph spoke sharply, immediately silencing his brother who cast his eyes down in guilt. With a heavy sigh Teraph held the knife out to his brother "Take it". Zico obeyed, taking the weapon and tucking it away immediately. Still keeping his gaze down. He didn't have to look at his brother's wound to know it was still bleeding and would need some kind of medical attention to heal properly.<br/><br/>Teraph took a moment to consider their options.<br/><br/>"Alois, as much as I would like to ask you to forget all this and simply let you go, I hope you can understand that if rumours of our kind spread throughout this area it would be detrimental to our survival. I can not let you go, at least not yet, but I can promise that no further harm will come to you by my brother's hand. Isn't that right Zico?"<br/><br/>There was a long moment of silence.<br/><br/>"Isn't that right Zico?" Teraph repeated again, this time glaring at his brother. Zico's eyes flicked up to meet Teraph's then to his bloody hand then back to the ground.<br/><br/>"Tch. Whatever" Zico mumbled as he walked off to play with the angel's corpse.<br/><br/>Teraph sighed again and turned his attention back to the human. "You'll need to stay with us for a little while, a few days at most, just until we can... sort this out. Then you will be free to continue living your life just as you were before, without any memory of any of this. Do you understand?"
