Thaal admired her body and the way swayed, almost entranced by her. He gulped down the water rather quickly. "Thank you. I am not familiar with earthbound food. You may prepare anything you see fit." Thaal struggled his way into sitting up straight. The aching in his body was still painful but not as bad as it had been yesterday. "So where are your winged friends? I half expected to wake up with holy artifacts aimed at my useless body." Thaal said, his sad eyes looking directly into Evelyn's. He was beginning to feel completely safe with her caring for him. He looked down at his ring, the essence inside swirling furiously trying to get to him. He looked back at Evelyn and admired her beauty. It was at this point Thaal knew he was in love. The warlord of the fifth level of hell was in love with an angel.
