His eyes narrowed at the creature, a demon, why? What could of went wrong? His attention alternating from the creature to the circle and to the offering, noticing blood, his. His attention then drifting towards the dirty holy water as she begun to speak and prattle on about God knew what. Half of which he barely understood the other half, well, he hardly paid any mind to her. His gaze returning to her, scowling at the female, despite her rather ‘friendly’ demeanor. A handshake would be one of the last things he would give to a demon, his stance shifting as she approached, hopping backwards to maintain some space between the two of them. Demons couldn’t be trusted, this much he knew and that much was evident from what had happened in the mansion that he was outside of and that his group was handling.<br/><br/><strong>”A failure.”</strong> He finally stated, more so to the summoning than to her, but she could take it for whatever it was worth at this point. Screams soon followed from within the mansion, never a good sign and it was not the wails of an individual being exorcised. No, those cries were human, clergy; something had went wrong within that building, Felix wasn’t sure what at this point. There was also the other problem before him, he suppose he could go about making another circle, but he had little to offer for summons. The thought of calling another demon wasn’t that appealing either since there was no knowing whether or not the creature would be any better or worse than her or the one that they were investigating presently. <br/><br/>At least, he would make sure to put her to some use, even if it killed her. He decided to not go over the theatrics of expectations, he did expected many things, she just didn’t meet any of them. <strong>”You are to deal with that.”</strong> He went on, addressing the sounds, pointing towards the mansion where the wails came from. Some of which were inhuman others that were of anguish. As much as he wanted to rush to their aid, he knew it would be just as suicidal, right now it was best to examine the situation from outside. If it broke through the barrier he set, he would just have to recalculate his plans and hope she was strong enough to stop it. As for pleasantries? Why, she wasn’t going to find many from him. <br/><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Dicidra looked at him, and then up at the house. She could sense another demonic presence, and as luck would have it, it was quite a bit weaker than her. She thought about it for a moment, and then looked back at Felix. For a moment, she tapped a finger to her chin, and then she looked down, and around at the symbols drawn on the ground. It wasn't exactly a well-known language among demons or angels, but she did know it enough to read a good portion of it. "Ahh," she said suddenly, smiling at Felix. "Sorry, no can do!" She smirked and sat down on the floor, smug. "You know what spell you used here? It doesn't work in your favor right now, boy. Here, you see this?" She pointed to the symbols in the ring, and summed up its contents. "This is a summoning circle, and these are summoning markings. But this over here..." She pointed to the other side of the circle. "This is part of a binding ritual, and according to the fine print, such is woefully... incomplete, I'm afraid. I'm not fully bound yet. Which means I aint gotta do jack shit!" She stuck her tongue out at her summoner. "Oh, and... in about an hour or so, even the summoning will wear off completely if you don't complete the binding, and I'll be on my merry way. So...<em>master</em>." She said it mockingly. "You want me to deal with your demon problem, you'll have to complete the ritual. I'll tell you how, but only if you... you look catholic. Only if you swear to your God that you'll do a favor for me in return." It was a bit of a gamble. She didn't know if this summoner knew what he was doing or not. If she could get a blank check from the summoner, that was a win. "And you may want to hurry, boy. I hear your friends screaming."
