Angel stands there stunned as she watches the two grand outsiders in combat, too awed to worry about what will happen should the real angel lose. In the process she forgets about the meal she's been struggling to keep down, but fortunately for her it seems that even the demon is somehow too distracted by the battle going on overhead to continue its escape. And then the flash of light. She shuts her eyes tight to block out the immense brightness, but still it manages to seep through. When everything is finally dark again, or at least as dark as the city ever gets, she opens them again and sees that the invasion seems to have suddenly disappeared.<br/><br/>Still, Angel's feeling of fullness remains, and for the moment that is all she cares about considering no further immediate threats seem to remain. She caresses her swollen midsection with one hand, grinning as she thinks about how once again she has proven herself the superior predator. Now if only she can find some place to go rest off her meal...<br/><br/>But then Alyssa approaches and the sound of carefully-timed marching begins to echo through the square and Angel snaps out of her reverie. Guards were never her favorite thing, as she preferred to execute her own form of justice that they often disagreed with. What mattered was that Celaire stayed safe, not some arbitrary set of rules that people in power deemed "right". There was no way to run, certainly not in this situation. After such an attack the guards would be all to eager to chase down and attack anything that looked remotely demonic and like it was trying to escape. Especially if it looked like it had caught itself a meal. No, in this case staying near Alyssa was her best bet, as much as she hated to admit it. Then at least somebody could attest to the fact that she wasn't sided with the demons.<br/><br/>So she answers Alyssa's question despite her frustration that playing nice with the guards was her best chance of surviving in this case. "My name's Celaire," she growls, not offering any more information. Technically it was Celaire's body, she reasoned, even if she considered herself separate. Besides, it's not like there was any reason to advertise her own name. Especially not to some guard.<br/><br/>Then she lets out a low sigh. Perhaps she should have just let Celaire stay in control...<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Edit: Attached Celaire's new character sheet to account for the addition of the Gastronomist variant.
