Dietrich bared his teeth and struggled to keep the swarm from attacking. The fucking bastard had been spying on him and all Maus had done was alert him. When threatened the violin the swarm surged almost breaking into a frenzy. He could feel eldritch powers reaching deep into the earth summoning more as his anger grew. He remained silent and when his precoius stratovarian broke he knew then that he was going to punish the demon. Somehow he was going to pay dearly for intterupting his time with Nina. Demon or not, there were more than just regular rats at Dietrich's disposal. He had proven it back in Munich.<br/>"Maus will be fine, rats are survivors." He moved closer to her and gave a sad smile.<br/>"Its not your fault. I will talk to the Ringleader and Undertaker to see if I can work something out. Believe it or not I hold more sway than you might think." He was bluffing reassuring her only because her look of terror angered him. He spoke to Maus,<br/>"Stay with her and keep her warm, if only for tonight." He then hugged her and sent her on her way.<br/>"Alright old man, I know your there. I want to tell you a joke." He smiled knowing all to well the reaper's stance on information.
