Although Marcus had left him without accepting his Deal because of the one he made previously, James was able to stand after a minute or so and found himself walking back to where Raylyn was, stopping mid-step as he heard what the half demon was exclaiming. he was going to leave when his internal Demon yelled in fury "<span style="color: #FF0000">Stay away from her you son of a demon loving <span style="text-decoration: underline">human</span>!</span>" the fiery being had meant this as an insult, but as it also insulted humans, it was a poor choice of words.<br/><br/>James was horrified that the Fire Demon had said this and it showed on his face as he stammered "I-I-I'm terribly s-s-sorry. I have no control over anything he does." there was a pleading look in his eye as he asked "Forgive his stupidity, please, I can't tell you how many times he has done things like this, and I am always the one to suffer for it." he looked down at the ground in shame. "I can't even start to say it won't happen again, unless I win in a game with Death." then he muttered, "Like that's ever going to happen." he turned and said "I hope you aren't going to leave because of me."<br/><br/>Then he noticed the drawing and his face fell. the demon however seemed to want to kill someone at the sight of who was portrayed there. "<span style="color: #FF0000">YOU!!!</span>" it said menacingly "<span style="color: #FF0000">You are the one that KILLED MY FAMILY? I would recognize that look anywhere!</span>" James was having a hard time containing the Demon in him and was struggling to stand upright. he looked back to Deaths voodoo shop and contemplated a 'beg and plead' approach, because he had terrible luck with games of the supernatural genre. He felt a searing pain in his chest as he looked back to Raijiin and pleaded "help me?" then fell, still conscious to the ground writhing in agony, he began to mutter demonic phrases in the demon's native tongue, and his eyes rolled back in his head as he had never tried this hard to resist the Demons willpower with his own.
