His own blade glowed a pale silver as the glyphs in an angelic tongue, referred to by the Elizabethan Magus John Dee as Enochian, were activated with his channelling divine magics into the weapon. He smiled faintly, confident as always that he wouldn't loose if it came down to a battle.<br/><br/>When Maeve gave her spin on things, somewhat nervously, some of his thoughts were confirmed. The angel had already been coming to that as a conclusion, among other possibilities, even if the whole two naked girls in a bath thing had also proved to be a distraction, even if one of them was a demon. As an angel, such sights were hardly common occurrences, and his discomfort showed itself on his face, despite attempts to hide the expression.<br/><br/>Trying to shake off such indecent thoughts, Salathiel refocused his mind, somewhat, before speaking, coldly. "That demon will bring you little but trouble, Maeve. I shall send it back to its own realm, where such things belong..."<br/><br/>He advanced, slowly at first, with Salathiel's senses assessing the capabilities of the demon, all the better to ascertain the successful banishment that was to come. The glowing sword through which he was channelling his own power pulsed faintly as the angel held it at an angle, the hilt near his shoulder, and the blade pointed directly towards his foe. It was of course, ready to move in a defensive manner, to counter the demonic lightning when it would undoubtedly be used against him, until he could get close enough to use the blade in a melee fashion, rather than using divine magic or blasts of light from a distance, which could potentially end up being countered by the demon's own magic in a ranged counter-attack.<br/><br/>Salathiel was also keen not to risk getting Maeve in the crossfire either, since although he didn't know much about this particular binding, he had a sense that the summoner being attacked, be it on purpose or otherwise, by the summoned, would likely have repercussions for the latter. Whatever the case, something told him he shouldn't risk it. There was also the element of harming innocent mortals, as well as perhaps a small part being an unknown factor, in Salathiel's reasoning in this matter.<br/><br/>Of course, his current means of attacking Aderia didn't take into account the possibility that Maeve could just as easily order them to stop fighting each other, which the binding would obviously enforce as an order. Whether or not that would happen, remained yet to be seen, as well...
