Breathing came slowly to the reaper as he lay half concious on the cold floor of the basement, not realizing that he had been rolled over when his senses finally returned to him. Panting hard, he slowly sat up before he realized there was something holding him down, namely one of the three that had summoned him to this plane of existence. Words didn't even catch his ears as he tried to figure out why she was fiddling with his robes, shaking his head negatively as he brushed her aside without looking, laying back as he let the air fill his lungs slowly, color returning to his face.<br/><br/>"I have to breath... That'll take some getting used to..." Malak finally said as he smiled slightly, not sure exactly what to do other than that. Smiling seemed to come very naturally to him as he let his body become accustomed to the new environment. And what a weird thought it was... his body. As he opened his eyes to see what was going on around him, the first thing he saw was Lee hovering over him, looking as though she were about to cry or scream, though she was clearly trying to help him. Something about her was... different from the other two, though what it was escaped him. All he knew was that there was something there, something indescribable even for one with a tongue for the angelic language.<br/><br/>"I have no plan to kill any of you. Your times are far from up, though if you keep shouting that I'm some murderous beast of the pit, I may have to strike off a few years lass," he suddenly said as he tilted his head back to look at Charlie with a look of annoyance before laughing. "As for the robe, only I can remove it. It is my cloak of darkness, which is supposed to hide me from mortal sight, though it seems that is a moot point today. Now, if you'll be so kind, may I have a glass of water and a chair? My back doesn't take very kindly to hard surfaces it seems..." he explained calmly before sitting up, his eyes meeting Lee's for but a moment, though that was all it took for him to decide that was why fate had put him here.<em>I have to keep her alive</em>, he decided silently.
