Faelan hadn't been expecting Shula to grip his hand, but when she did, he didn't let it just slide out of his hand. He just kind of held her limp hand there, and he felt her pass out through the bond, his connection to her thoughts seeming to blur into a black nothingness. It wasn't silent though, it was like a white fuzz just within his range of hearing. Her eyes fluttered shut, and he just awkwardly sat there and looked at her for a bit, not exactly knowing what to do. He couldn't have left her like this, even if he'd wanted to, the bond made sure they weren't too far apart. But if he was being serious with himself, Faelan realized Shula was the closest thing he could call a friend. The foundation was probably fixing their portal right now, Sam was probably getting a fancy new arm, and there was no way in hell his house would be left alone.<br/><br/>"So how'd this little one trick you into falling for her. She's not a real approachable one, this one." The red haired demon seemed lively enough, and seemed to be ignoring how Shula was unconscious and bleeding out on his couch. Faelan couldn't even respond, instead he moved closer to Shula's side, pulling the part of his sleeve covering the bullet wound. "Looking for this lad?" Faelan turned to see what he was talking about, and in the air, floating just above Thomas' hand was the bullet, covered in blood. "Removed this as soon as you lot got here."<br/><br/>Tying the sleeve back around her arm to keep the blood soaked into the fabric, and out of everything else, Faelan turned around, standing up. He sized up the demon, and he tried to get a read on him. He knew those eyes belonged to a large number of demons, but not the telekinesis. He'd say Thomas was B rank at the very least. Squinting a little, he realized his glare must have been intimidating, because the demon stood up too, and backed up a little as he looked around. "I didn't fall for Shula, but I wouldn't argue about her being rough to handle. So,<i>Thomas, </i>mind if you tell me about yourself? Not every day I get to meet people who know Shula." His tone was cautious, and he knew the demon would pick up on it, his hand went to his hip in the universal sign of irritation.<br/><br/>"You should be telling me about you there lad, walking in here wee hours of the morning, Shula bleeding in your arms, bonded and all." The slight cock of his head made Faelan think of a curious dog. He straightened himself up, unintentionally making himself taller and more intimidating. He scoured over the man, trying to think of how he should be reacting to this demon. Normally, he'd be killing him. But not today, and it wasn't something Faelan had planned for.<br/><br/>"I'm Faelan. I'm good at killing shit, and drinking. She got shot while we were running, and she brought us here." His tone was cold, he was watching the demon carefully. His sword itched on his back, and he just had to wonder if being around demon's, the things he'd trained day and night to kill, were going to be the new faces he'd have to get used to in order to hide in Gehenna. The thought didn't sit well with him, and the realization that being on the run from the foundation as a hunter in the realm of demons probably could have benefited from some good thought.<br/><br/>"Oh, so you are body guard or something. Gotcha. Are you sure you're just a human though lad? You don't have any color to you, mum wasn't close to any ghosts? Ah, never mind. I'm Thomas, old friend of Shula's, I knew Amelia a ways back, took 'em in after the temple got razed. They stayed here for a bit, but got their own place. Don't know if Shula's just got a habit of people wanting to set her on fire, but that place got razed too, bout a year ago. I found Amelia in there, but never Shula, figured she'd gone and kicked the bucket. But I guess not, considering you lot are sitting here now." The demon kept talking, and Faelan just sat on the couch by Shula, laying her down on one arm, sitting on the other side of her. The rambling ginger didn't seem to stop, but Faelan didn't even realized when he fell asleep.
