She had obviously been listening to their conversation. Rafael was fine with this. He had seen the woman earlier. She admitted to being confused, but Rafael could see her aura as clear as the demon could. He knew who she was and considered her the bravest person in the Hotel this day. He looked up to her courage admiring her determination to stare her enemy in the eye. God worshiped<span style="font-style: italic">her</span>for her unwitting reverence and would take great pains to protect her. "M'lady, please choose wisely. You do not have to travel with us. We are going to very dark places. You may be swept asunder. I will not stop you from following us, but know our destination is filled with a very dangerous and vile presence."<br/><br/>Rafael was not worried for the woman. He knew in his heart, she would be cared for. He could watch over her while fighting the witch, Darcy. He could keep her healed and thriving. If she chose to accompany them into the depths of hell, Rafael would bring her back home safely, once accomplished he would never permit mere mortals' interference of her life. She would live a lifetime resplendent with the rewards of God's love.<br/><br/>Rafael knew what the demon would say, but closed his mouth and waited for him to say it. It was his right. Weren't demons like Asmodeus and his friend, Kai merely<span style="font-style: italic">Fallen</span>angels? The knew as well. Rafael looked upon these minions of Satan with respect. He would help the accomplish a mutual goal and do nothing to abet them in their back handed shenanigans.<br/><br/>Whenever Asmodeus had his group together, Rafael would be available to join. The first step would be to determine Darcy's location. Rafael believed it was either in Bavaria, Bohemia or Oberösterreich in Northern Austria. He knew she was not far. These provinces were the closest regions. He sensed her approximation, but could not ascertain an exact location.
