[colot=darkred]"Don't worry about this old war dog; I'm fine, just covered in someone's blood is all. It's you I'm worried about, Nerissa. Are <em>you</em> okay?"[/color] Physically, he knew the answer was yes. He hadn't even let a single one of them get close to her. However, mentally she was more than likely shaken up after a crew of demons(and 1 human) broke down her door and tried to hurt or kidnap her. She was only 50 years old, so she was very young and he wasn't sure how much combat experience or things of this nature she'd dealt with before, so all of his concerns were of her at the moment.<br/><br/> He nodded a quick thank you when she handed him the towel. Before he wrapped it around himself, the blood on his skin flaked and burned off as he raised his temperature. There was still plenty to use for analysis and research into this later. While she looked around, he finally covered himself, chuckling when she pointed out how they hadn't stood a chance. "Most don't. It gets boring being so strong if I'm honest, but that means I get to protect my people, and when I finally find someone worthy, that makes it all worthwhile." When Nerissa apologized for some reason, he walked over and pulled her close, looking down and kissing her deeply. "No apologies. You did nothing wrong. One on five are never good odds, especially when you know nothing of your opponent.<br/><br/> If you want me to start training you, I will. But you aren't weak or soft or anything like that." Both of them were still obviously confused about what had happened, but it was a mystery that would be solved. Nerissa's safety was paramount, and that meant SOPHE would find out exactly what had happened here sooner or later. "I suppose these people were considered professionals. But they weren't prepared to find me here. A few of them didn't even know who I was, which makes me almost certain they wanted you for some reason. And whatever that reason is, we'll figure it out." When the pretty little fox snapped out of her stupor, she thanked him, causing the Elder Demon to chuckle and hug her right back. <br/><br/>Scooping her up with one hand, he held her close while he retrieved his phone, then went over to the sofa and down, placing her firmly in his lap while he made a call. "This is Commander Tetsuda. I need a team at Nerissa's address. She was attacked by a group of four demons and a human. They've been dealt with, but we still don't know why they arrived or who sent them. Also, call off the police. They're not equipped to deal with something like this and I don't feel like putting up with anymore bullshit tonight...it's already been ruined enough," he said before he hung up and kissed her again. "I'm sorry it turned out like this. I really planned for us to enjoy everything about tonight...especially each other."<br/><br/></span><br/>
