Silas smiled. It seemed like the Aris knew what he was saying.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">Ab ecclesia. Ego crevit ibi,</span>he replied.<br/><br/>'From the church. I grew up there.' was what he meant. The angel had extended her hand towards him, but the other man still stared at him with a piercing gaze such that Silas felt uncomfortable shaking her hand. "Your friend doesn't... like me." Silas twiddled his fingers and looked at Nathaniel pathetically.<br/><br/>"Unsurprising. Demons are untrustworthy," said Roy bluntly, shrugging at Silas.<br/><br/>"Really?" asked Silas. His yellow eyes looked at Roy pleadingly. "Please don't treat me like that.<span style="font-style: italic">Patrem nolite vobis.</span>"<br/><br/>Roy raised an eyebrow inquisitively.<br/><br/>"You do not choose your father," Silas whispered to himself, looking down with a solemn expression. Suddenly changing to a smile, he turned towards Roy. "Breakfast!" he chirped.<br/><br/>A smile unconsciously came to Roy's face. "Sure. Follow me, everyone."<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Giles looked towards Brian, and then Sir Ashton. He did not expect the lord of this mansion to look a bit feminine. Did Sir Ashton ever shave, he wondered.<br/><br/>"Greetings, Knight Commander Giles." Ashton smiled, extending a hand to shake Giles. He returned the favour, but his eyes focused on the strange man standing next to Sir Ashton. The silver hair he had, and ever-present smile looked a little strange to the demon hunter.<br/><br/>"Greetings, Sir Ashton," said Giles and Brian, together. Brian gave him a look, and gestured stealthily towards Capet. His companion was suspicious too, but what did he think?<br/><br/>Was this Capet a demon? A bunch of lands like Sir Ashton's could easily be home to a couple of demons. Why couldn't one of them have infiltrated his top ranks?<br/><br/>Giles placed his hand on his sword, but in a flash, he felt the butler's hand on his throat. "Don't do that." Capet smiled. He leapt back as Brian swung his sword in Capet's direction.<br/><br/>"Demon!" cried out the two demon hunters.<br/><br/>Sighing, Ashton drew out her sword and prepared her fighting stance. The two men were her seniors, and likely veterans, if overpriced veterans.<br/><br/>"What chance do I have?" she whispered under her breath. "GUARDS!" With a yell, four soldiers gathered around the four of them, swords drawn and gazes pointed at Giles and Brian. "<span style="font-style: italic">Kill them.</span>"<br/><br/>"Your lord is corrupted by the demon standing beside him!" Giles yelled out.<br/><br/>"I'm not a demon!" yelled out Capet, his smile no longer present on his face.
