<span style="font-style: italic">"I hope I didn't miss anything."</span>Ka said, crossing his arms on his chest.<br/><br/>Erlind noticed the coldness in the demon's remark and he looked away, allowing the man to step forward into the room before closing the door shut behind them, but left it unlocked. The Demon advanced into the room, and pursued Adina's form with his eyes, watching her drop a satchel she carried and her coat on the floor next to the Suite's entrance.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“I’m aware that we are here to search for clues, Sir but you are right about my desire to talk to you about my dream. After the strange events that have occurred this evening and the part which you obviously had to play in them, I no longer think you will find my story so crazy as I first presumed.”</span>Her gaze locked on him for a moment. Erlind glanced at Kai and then back at Adina, allowing her to finish what else she needed to admit.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“You’re aware that I am not what I seem to be, I can read it in your eyes."</span>She said.<br/><br/>Erlind nodded,<span style="font-style: italic">"Yes I do..."</span>The Demon looked over at Kai. "Adina, this is Kristof -- A long buddy of mine. Feel free to speak your thoughts in his presence." The Demon cut the woman short to introduce his friend - an essential introduction. He doubted that Kai was not aware of the woman's true identity, and that worried him a little bit. He was hoping that his Demon companion will not spill the beans and inform Udo about the presence of a Jewish woman just for the fun of it. Or maybe it was the right thing to do. This mission was about putting differences aside.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"...And while I know it seems rather senseless for me to voluntarily spend the night in a hotel full of Nazi’s there was something within me, a gut instinct if you will, that forced me to journey here through the snow, that encouraged me to coerce the guards into letting me through the door. That something was related to your presence here. I have seen you before Sir. You and your companion Isolde.”</span>Adina stood and removed the old leather book from her satchel.<br/><br/>The mention of Isolde's name made the unholy one shiver. What if she was a lost cause by now? That still did not matter, he planned to pursue this rescue mission, but not only to save Isolde, but to send that horrendous Witch Darcy into Oblivion. Raphael's help in punishing this woman would be needed greatly after all, and in order to ensure and achieve Darcy's fall.<br/><br/>The Demon continued listening to the woman while scanning the room and completely ignored the occasional bursts of laughter in the hallway outside Room 32. He stopped short and picked the hem of the dress Isolde was wearing in the evening and raised it to his face for an instant. A gentle warm breath caressed the fabric as he explored the texture between his fingers. He felt a tremor course through his human frame before letting go of the gown's hem.<br/><br/>As Adina met his gaze once more, she added.<span style="font-style: italic">“I promise, Sir, that I will do whatever is required of me but I ask of you one thing in return. Protection from others in the group that may be more dedicated to the Fuhrer’s cause."<br/></span><br/><br/><br/>Her demand resonated in his ears, and sealing a pact with this Jewish woman was not necessary at the moment. Erlind's logic was examined and recalculated. He decided to answer her demands and would ask for nothing in return but her volunteering position in this rescue mission. All that mattered to him, was saving Isolde and eliminating Darcy from the face of the Earth.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"You are quite an interesting creature, Adina. I have seen you courage before, but I have rarely seen an enthusiasm as pure and selfless as yours."</span>The Demon confessed, looking passed Kai and towards the unlocked door.<span style="font-style: italic">"I willingly accept your offer. I am not sure yet who else will be joining our mission, but I can assure you, that your protection from others in the group that may carry ill thoughts against you will be my full responsibility. For now we need to find clues that will help us locate Darcy's hideout and then call it a night."</span>Udo's visual thought crossed the Demon's mind. He wondered for a brief moment, if destroying Darcy wouldn't be a valid reason for Udo to join the Party. He had sensed strength of the mind in his fellow Nazi. As evil as the killer within him may be, Udo was the perfect example of a citizen who would do anything for the Fatherland. The Demon silently shared this thoughts with Kai, and added.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">I do hope you are willing to help but I would understand if you don't. Darcy is not simply a threat to the mortals, but to the Underworld as well. But, you being this powerfully convincing debater, do you think there is any chance in convincing Udo to join us? Willingly of course.</span></span>
