He watched her dark eyes following his every movement. Did it seem he was showing off his detective skills...yes. Was that actually what he was doing...no. Two could play a game of deception. Skilled detective he was but he was far from normal. Not that he planned to reveal more than a couple of the cards in his hand. No...she would have to guess and learn. She wanted a challenge and a game well she had one. He was making her believe what she was already going to assume...he was human. Or was he? He knew the answer to this but than again he wouldn't be revealing it anytime soon. Not to the lady demon as he was just learning her in this new dance they would begin to play. She expected what he was giving so he was giving it to her.<br/><br/>He actually relished the chance for a challenge. "Insightful? No...those are minor observations my dear demon lady." He says with a smile. Looking her in the eyes. He didn't break gaze more than to look at the sleeping girl a bit. Looking at her again. "It was not just wit that drove me this way. I could have very well refused the boy to find his sister. After all it was not my duty nor my folly under which the girl came to be missing. Finding the girl was merely a means to an entirely different end than what most would assume." He crossed his arms a bit. He was only fifteen in human after all...he had his teenager moments anyways. He noted her tone and remained entirely unaffected by it. He did not the somehow still very sultry tone and the fact she remained soft spoken and casual. True she had kidnapped and most likely planned on killing the girl for food but she had not attacked nor tried to harm the child since. He nodded his head. "It is not my favorite drink in the world but I do partake in it every so often." He admitted. "I prefer mine with a bit of ginseng and honey. Makes it taste very divine...in a manner of speaking."<br/><br/>He nodded the head and noted the fact the child hadn't once stirred. His mind racing. A spell perhaps? If it was a spell it would be no easy task to break it. Demon spells and spells in general weren't high up in his strong suits. True he knew some magic...basic spells and elemental ones...but such things as breaking them was not something he was quite talented at. The challenge would be in figuring out how to break it if that is the case. He was almost certain it was. He looked at her and took in her features. Then looked to the girl. Trying to figure out what type of spell she used. The exact spell would be easier to break if he knew but since he didn't he would have to take the long way about learning how to break it. "Alright I will relieve you of the little girl but only because I promised and didn't really enjoy hearing the screaming all the way near the outskirts of town. Plus an angel falling from the sky brought much intrigue to mind." He says in an off handed way.<br/><br/>Moving closer and stopped a couple of feet away. Looking to the child. "While I know that I have no accomplished the task I told the little boy I would take...the willingness to be so quickly parted with your kidnapped brings to mind the realization that retrieving the child is just the first step in saving her." He gets a smile to his lips. "While most humans find magic to be nothing but shinanigans and trickery...I happen to know magic is very real. So the fact the child hasn't stirred not once or whimpered in pain in her sleep leads me to believe she is under quite the spell." He looked back at Sva'alti. "However...this is not a spell I have seen so breaking it will be quite the challenge. A challenge I really must thank you for. I do enjoy an actual challenge every now and then. People on a whole bore me because everything about them is too easily noted and figured out." He leaned against the tree two feet from her. "You on the other hand are a rubix cube of possibilities, wonderment, and questions. All of which I plan to find out. I haven't had a challenge like this since I went head to head with the youngest son of Satan. That was quite the long go around."<br/><br/>He kept his gaze on the woman in a respectful yet studying way. "I did take note of your handy work. Quite the interesting spectacle. Though it seems you held back more than you wanted to. The angel must not of been of high challenge for the breakage in the rib cage was hardly forced and looked more like he snapped apart like a pretzel rather than someone's bones being torn asunder by a demons talons." He says. Looking at her and walked over to the girl. Standing in front of her but merely to keep the demon woman from changing her mind and retrieving her. He made no move to pick her up yet though. "The child can wait. As I said retrieving the child for a little boy I know nothing about and not even getting paid would only be worthwhile when I have a payment already in mind."<br/><br/>He pointed to her. "Which by the way having a civilized conversation with a demoness of high power and might is quite a payment. So in a way...I got my payment from the little boy by having a reason to chase such an interesting challenge in the first place." He merely spoke what he thought. He had no need for interactions with others because honestly they were too easily predicted. "It isn't easy not fitting in. Other detectives I've met are as simpletonish as the people they help. I prefer to be what I am. They call me an eccentric. What would your opinion on the matter be? Am I eccentric? Or am I merely more than what the eye can see?" he asks. Throwing his own little spin around challenge out there. He wanted to see if she thought he was just a weird human or not. He gets an impish grin on his face. "I accept your challenge of using my wits to save this child from eternal sleep....however now you must figure out if you can riddle out my challenge." He looked at her. "What I can't figure out is what drives you to eat an angel's heart. The last demon I talked into circles revealed that when a demon eats an angel's heart it is to gather more strength and power. I bet there is a force that drives you to become stronger and stronger still." He tilted his head to the side. "You are a challenge in more than just what is issued. What do you see when you study me lady demon?" He asked as he seemed to merely make conversation.<br/><br/>He touched the child's arm without moving his gaze. "Hmmm...never encountered this sort of spell before. Finding the key to solving this riddle will be quite the adventure." He says with an almost delighted tone. Looking the demoness over. Removing his hand. "Looks like I need to do some demon spell research." He says with a clearly excited tone. "However...what else do you wish aside from excitement that I seem to be bringing you?" He asked. Oh he was holding back but he didn't want to show too many cards expecially not too quickly. He turns his attention to the girl. Checking her and searching for some clue. Would it be a feather of the demoness? Or even a drop of her blood? Or maybe a strand of hair from her human form... There was so many things it could be yet he wasn't sure which it was.
