"Wondering about your nature is a dangerous hobby I would recommend bird keeping over it," he says with a smile while he nods with thanks for the tea taking a small sip from the cup. "I unlike you both I believe wasn't born with my supernatural nature, I had gifted to me I guess," he says trying to keep some secrets to his past while the demon mutters "Gift is a way of saying it" in Devdan's mind. Continuing, Devdan rests on the wall "It took me a while to get used to what I was, an unholy creature something I had been told to fear and to hate, to pray against on an almost daily basis" while talking in a tone of remembrance. "Eventually I came to terms with it and while a different issue from yours I can tell you one thing I learned," he explains getting off the wall and putting a hand on Zyan. "An angel is not what you are you are Zyan first, you are are not an angel who is an angel who is Zyan you are Zyan the angel if you lie that is something you can do Zyan not the angel," he says before taking a handoff, realising he was speechifying again. "Erm Yes Mei erm meet this Doctor is definitely something we should do".

"I thank you for your kind words, Devdan, but my predicament is starkly dissimilar to your own. Being tied to a demon affords you a certain level of freedom that is inherent in their kind; that is to say you do not have to care how your actions can affect another. Angels, by definition, are the will of God being realized in the world. I can choose to go against that if I want, but laws, restrictions are part of who I am. Even before discovering my powers, as a child, being an angel has shaped my life in fundamental and unfathomable ways." Gazer sighed as he felt a headache of his own coming on. "Let us speak of something else. This is not a topic that I can describe nor discuss well without more reference, and it tires me to think of it some much; there are too many factors to worry about for one ill-suited mind."

Mei listened, but stayed silent as they spoke amongst each other, deciding she didn't have anything much to add on the topic, having grown up with her abilities and heritage a firm part of her, and she had never questioned it in the ways they seemed to be. It made her sad, that people would question and reject something so fundamental to their beings, but she knew that it happened.
"Hmm... Perhaps I should organise a meeting or sparring session of some sort, to try and locate him. Ah, what time is it?", she stood up from her relaxed position, taking another sip from her tea, and looked out of the window.
"Would you mind if I borrowed your writing utensils again, Zayn?", she looked back at him questioningly. Thankfully this time the paper didn't have to travel underwater, so she could deliver a note the way she usually did. It had been a while, perhaps too long, since she had spoken to her friends.​

Devdan stood despondently as he listened to Zyan. He could easily see how his situation different from the angels, like the demon infested human couldn't help but want to try and forge a connection with the man. "Are you saying being a human connected to a demon hasn't changed my life in fundamental and unfathomable ways? " he says in a sardonic tone before drinking his tea. "I understand though all of our lives are different, you, me, Mei all of them are defined in some way by our none humanness" he ponders placing his empty tea mug on the side. "I simply wish to say while I cannot understand what you experience and have experienced in your complicated life, I wish to help you and be there for you throughout it," Devdan says, momentary placing his hand over Zyan's, though he takes it back later. His feelings for the man hadn't changed, yet he would keep them bottled as it seemed they must be. Turning to Mei he says "Around half past six, and yes maybe sparring would do good for us all" Devdan says sitting down in a chair. "A chance to battle these foes, a chance to behold not be told" Abraxas says in Devdan's mind.

Location: Shop then his base
Interacting with: Lady Astra
Ajan had been watching the group for a day now. He hadn't been one to make an outlook and watch his prey for days at a time, but he did check back on the group every couple of hours. He had a feeling the group wasn't going to split up anytime soon since it seemed they had some injured members getting attended to. He preferred hunting one supernatural creature at a time anyway, so letting a few leave wasn't much of a loss. He had watched one of the creatures leave earlier and didn't even think of slaying her as she walked past the tree he was in that was across the shop. There were some creatures of interest he had spotted as they entered the store, and he actually respected how well their disguises were. All that to blend in with humans. Ajan had learned the ways to recognize his own, even if he had only seen them for the short seconds they crossed under him. The Pheonix was pretty easy since they did have to bundle up a little excessively to hide fiery counterparts. The demon and what seemed to be an angel was possibly the most interesting of the bunch, especially when they didn't seem too bothered by each other's presence. The demon didn't seem to put off the same darkness most did, so that was possibly the reason why. There was a human in the midst too, which made everything rather complicated. It was an instinct to protect humans at this point, and Ajan knew his task would be even more difficult. He decided he would brew up a plan at his base and get his tools ready. Ajan's body rippled and he changed forms into a golden griffin. He bounded up a couple more tree branches before leaping and flapping his wings as he streaked through the air. He stayed near the scattered clouds. It took a few minutes to reach his base, and he shifted forms in midair and landed lightly on his feet.
The base was an abandoned inn that had been the target of a fire and was promptly evacuated. It was on the end of a quiet street on the poor side of town, so no one really bothered it. There had been a few people to wander by without shelter, but Ajan had made his slave bound around in her wolf form and howl to make everyone think some shadow beast haunted the area. He had been possession of the fox-girl for a while now, and he trusted her about as much as a viper. That was pretty much his relationship with anyone, but her being a supernatural creature didn't exactly make anything better. She had worth, but he swore if she ever crossed him, her nine tails would be pinned on his wall with his other conquests.
"Ahri! We have a new hunt!" Ajan yelled, his voice echoing through the building. Everything had been scorched black and was about to evaporate into dust when Ajan had arrived, but he managed to fix it up. Bedrooms were upstairs, his weapons were laid out on what used to be the table at the bar in the inn, and so on. Ajan never cared for comfort, just efficiency. Ajan started packing a bag with weapons and such as he started going over strategies in his head while waiting for Ahri.

He continued to walk around. Having started to grow slightly annoyed with the amount of people about. Growling to himself softly anytime he found himself starting to be a bit close to anyone who seemed even half-way dressed in the form of a guard. As he continued to look for the place where he had been raised. Checking each door for what could resemble a burn where to the common man or woman would seem to be nothing. While to him would be the sign he found his location.

"I thank you for you kind words, Devdan." Gazer grasped Devdan's before he could retract it fully and squeezed it slightly before letting go. He knew it pained Devdan to act as if he felt nothing, more than a normal level of camaraderie, for the angel and was grateful for the effort he was making. He was still unsure how he felt about the man and was not prepared to face that truth either; they had known each other or less than a day, after all. "I will go and collect the writing materials if you ensure the food does not burn, Mei." Without waiting for her reply, he swept out of the kitchen and up the stairs into what would become his room once he had a moment to hash out the details with Devdan. He retrieved his writing materials from his bag and spared the still-sleeping Iskolde a small smile as he made his way back to the kitchen and handed the materials to Mei before taking over the cooking again. "If there will be sparring, I would prefer not to participate. I do not like violence, but do not be discouraged if you all would like to. I understand that battles, and being prepared for them, is a necessity in this world."

It was as if her body's metabolism had accelerated. The wounds were nearly all gone and only twinged as she sat up and stood. Her head felt loads better and lighter without any aching, but her stomach! oh, her stomach was rumbling for food. As it was, she was a little surprised the room which had housed two other occupants was now deserted. It didn't seem to be late morning, in fact it seemed rather early. Watery grey light was coming from the window. It was likely that it was just past dawn.

She glanced down at her light shift, thought that it would probably be a good idea to get some more suitable clothes, but figured that it would be alright for now. Wondering if everyone was downstairs, she grabbed her writing things and stepped lightly down the stairs and followed the sound of voices coming from the kitchen. There was a delicious aroma in the air, and it was apparent that food was being prepared. As she entered, she heard something about sparring.

Good morning, she wrote as she entered the room.

Mei listened to the men speak together, wondering if what she felt between them was merely her imagination, or if it were something more. Regardless, she decided to leave them to their devices, and sort things out as it naturally progressed, as she was sure it would.
She took over in the kitchen as Zayn left, and decided to wait until he returned until she answered Devdan. Which he did in no time at all.
Giving back the kitchen to Zayn, she answered both as she took the material from Zayn. "Thank you. Ah, I think you misunderstood... We shan't be doing any sparring. I work as an instructor and teacher in almost all forms of combat. And it just so happens that today I am instructing an officer, someone who will hopefully be able to get an audience with Emalie Petyrsson... Devdan, you may know her.", her mouth moved into a thin lipped smile.
"And I do not like violence either, Zayn. But it was necessary for me to get a job, and my skills in combat meant it was practical for me to become a teacher. I have had many years of experience, after all.", she smirked softly, taking the paper to the table after saying a cheerful "Good morning!" to Iskolde, and began writing out a formal letter, addressed to Petyrsson.

Devdan gave a quick smile to Zayn as he said about his kind words, and gave another as his hands were held. He understood that emotions were known for many things, there simplicity not being one of them. Allowing Zyan to gather his writing detail before saying anything to Mei, Devdan simply sat back in his chair, enjoying another mug of the tea. As Zayn returned and Mei explained, Devdan simply listened, his interested raised by a familiar name. Explaining Zayn's interest, the merchant says "Miss Petyrsson is a high-level priestess of the Zantoric faith and on of the youngest to achieve such a prestigious grade in the faith. She is a woman who gets what she wants by almost all means necessary, just the only thing is going against the order, hence why Mei is correct I do know her on her good side if I recall though it has been a while" with a smile creeping across his face. Wiping it as he continues "She very quick very with her wits as well as being practical and blunt in her actions" before stopping as he sees Iskolde enter the room. Replying with a rather warm "Hello my dear I trust you slept well and hopefully it made you feel better the the previous day" as he grabs some tea for the young woman. "Breakfast is currently cooking away, oh yes sorry for yet another question my young maid tell me how do you fancy a trip today?".

Besides being talented in various supernatural ways, it seemed that her rescuers possessed some skill in the kitchen as well. She settled herself on a stool to better write.
Yes, I feel much better, thank you. With curiosity she continued to write on the board: A trip is fine as I have nothing preventing me from going. Where to? She hoped that it would be to the market to buy some clothing, but she would be fine going anywhere since it was the man who had let her stay in his guest room who requested it.

"Coming, Master!" A voice cried, the sounds of pattering footsteps echoing loudly and making a trail towards the door- "OUCH!" Next thing he knows, a body falls to the ground, groaning in slight pain. "That was my fault, Master." There was a brief pause, then the door opened to let a small, lithe figure slip in through the crack before creaking behind her. She was a short, very lean girl with a long black braid trailing behind her and little freckles dotting her pale face. While her clothing seemed plain - only a tan robe with a brown sash - she had a beautiful red silk scarf covering the top of her head and making her brown eyes pop on her face.

She bowed lowly in front of her master, letting her forehead touch the ground. "Apologies for being late, Master Ajan. I was in the middle of town, collecting information like you asked me, when I heard your call. I promise no one saw me teleport, Master! I would never jeopardize you like that, I mean-!" Ahri stopped, pursing her lip in shame. "Apologies again, Master. I was rambling, and I know how much you hate it when I do."

The young slave sighed before lifting her head slightly without meeting his eyes before she asked. "Who are we hunting this time, Master?"​

"I see. My mistake." Zayn replied to Mei before Devdan explained who Emalie Petyrsson was. He listened to Devdan's description of the woman and frowned noticeably. "I do not think that I would care for this woman; such an unrelenting personality would have no qualms about causing pain and suffering." Both of which Gazer had made perfectly clear he abhorred.

"Good morning, Iskolde. I am sure that you've woken up quite ravenous with hunger. It will be just a few more minutes of waiting before everything will be ready. Try the tea while you wait." He said, noticing that Devdan had just poured her a cup and handed it over.

"Perhaps you shall want to dress her in actual clothes before you parade Iskolde around the city, Devdan." He teased the man, with a hand on Devdan's shoulder temporarily, lightly after Iskolde accepted the offer of a trip.

Devdan had predicted that Zyan would not take to miss Petyrsson, after all, you would have to try to get two personalities who didn't clash more than Zyan and Petyrsson. "Yes though I must admit some admiration for her tenacity and her cunning that have got her to where she is, though yes her acceptance towards violent as a means to her own ends does trouble me" Devdan mussed. Turning back to Iskode he says he perhaps to talk about their trip before Zyan chimes in. "Yes yes that might be a good course of action," Devdan said in a tone acknowledging the angels mild teasing. "Tell you what my dear, there are a number of dresses in the storefront, in a cabinet to the side, pick one out that you like" he explains before saying "Oh yes we will be accompanying Mei on some business she has".

She blushed lightly, bowed a few times to thank Devdan, and scurried from the room in search of the cabinet. As she opened the wooden door of the cabinet, a rush of that pleasant woody smell came over her and she breathed in the familiar comfort. So ordinary. The dresses that hung in there were certainly not. Like the items in the rest of the shop, the dresses were unusual in some way or another. One had a price tag of 200 gold coins. Her eyes widened at Devdan's generosity. 'Could I really pick from any of these?' she wondered as she browsed through the selection of clothing. Many of them were dazzling, but she wasn't used to wearing such intricately embroidered cloth. If she put one on, she'd just feel like she stood out too much.

In the end, she chose a silky dress of silver color. The neckline was a bit low for her taste, but it was the plainest one she could find, and the only one that didn't have jewels or some gaudy ornamentation. It was simple, but the material was exquisite with a subtle sheen and one of the softest things she had ever felt. From the tag, she understood that it was made from something called "selkie skin." She wondered what a "selkie" was, and if it had any unusual traits. Taking it from the hanger, she wandered around the shop until she found the restroom and changed into the gown. It was lovely, truly lovely. The dress sported 3/4 sleeves, a simple round neckline, and continued to just past her knees. Amazingly, it was neither too large nor too small, and almost seemed as if it shifted to fit her better. She felt radiant, and not just on the outside either. It felt right.

Iskolde wasn't aware of the cheerful color on her cheeks as she re-entered the kitchen where Mei, Devdan, and Zayne were still discussing the plans of the day.

Mei half listened to what was happening around her as she concentrated on writing the letter, making sure every word held meaning. After 15 minutes of writing, she felt that the letter was strong enough and good enough that it was her best chance in gaining an audience, at least she explained her reasoning for having one. She would send it to the person she had a lesson with that day, and ask them to deliver it to Petyrsson before their lesson, and in return Mei wouldn't charge them for the session (All this was included in a cover letter directed at her client, that she also bundled up), this way she could find out if she had an audience or not as soon as possible - that being when they had their lesson in the afternoon.
She stood, noticing that Iskolde had left the room as she smiled slyly at the two men. "Please try not to scare him... or look him in the eye.", chuckling softly to herself, she went to a window, unlatched it and opened it, going back to her seat. Rolling up the letter into a very tight and small role, she put it to one side as she quickly put away the writing materials.
From the moment she opened the window, there was a subtle energy seeping from her, her eyes slightly distant as she spoke aloud, to what seemed like nothing.
"I have a letter for you to deliver. Yes... Very well. I will see you then.", she spoke quietly and softly, yet her voice carried through the window as if carried by the wind. Once she finished speaking, the energy dissipated, and after blinking a few times, her eyes regained their alertness.
She noticed that Iskolde had returned, and turned round smiling. That smile faltered when she noticed what she wore, recognising the 'fabric' the dress was made from. "A-ah..." was all she could really say, she was somewhat lost for words. She had the good luck to meet a Selkie once, and had a long conversation with her about all sorts. The use of their fur being one of them, and seeing this dress opened up old wounds, although she managed to keep her cool for the most part.

"Giving little maids dresses, I wonder how soft you are very much at a guess" the demon spoke inside Devdan's head. The merchant smiled at this thinking back "Well I could recommend you a few though I don't think many would fit" to which Abraxas replied "Plus the colours would be ruined when the bloodshed started to hit" macabrely. A fact Devdan often forget that even after everything a demon has violence in its blood, as an angel has truth coded into theirs. "Whatever do you mean, the last messenger boy didn't suffer that much" he joked with a sly tone. As he watched Mei send off her letter, Devdan became fixed on the steam from his drink before he turned to see Iskolde had returned. "There I believe that will suit most excellently my dear and I am glad to see it has brought some cheers to you, especially after the ordeal you've just had," he said noting radiant cheeks. He took note of the dress. A selkie one. He sold a few before, mostly due to their unique qualities. While he admits it wasn't right, he had little he could do about it, all though that may just be a weak excuse so he can still sell them. Decide to cast away the thoughts he says "Oh yes I've also discovered that Zyan's food will be ready just before the silver moon once again rises".

"The pale silver moon must be risen somewhere in the world, because breakfast is served." Without much fanfare, Gazer spun around and placed three plates of food on the table. Taking thee time to look up at Iskolde as she returned to the kitchen, he smiled. "You look simply radiant, my dear. Come, sit and eat." He pulled out a chair for her before ushering her into it swiftly. after setting out the eating utensils, Gazer set about cleaning up the nonexistent mess he'd made in the kitchen. Though it appeared that he merely put everything back i it's placed and cooled the fires, the kitchen looked even more clean that it had been before Gazer started cooking.

With a nod, Gazer poured himself a cup of tea and turned to face Mei, Devdan, and Iskolde. "So what is going to be the schedule for today's endeavors?"

Mei shook herself from her daze, and remained seated at the table, although she noticed there were only three plates. She was about to ask, when there was a flapping sound above he window.
Standing, she went over to it, and held out her hand. A large pigeon flew down into her hand, and ruffled it's feathers as it looked up at her expectantly. She brought him inside, and once they were close enough to the table, the pigeon hopped off onto the table.
Mei sat too, and adjusted the harness that was on his back, placing the letter inside.
"What do you mean you've been eating bread?!", she exclaimed, "You know it disagrees with you... Well, don't come complaining to me when you get indigestion.", she spoke to the pigeon, who was making an array of noises that one would expect a pigeon to make.
Mei sighed as she finished securing the letters safely into the compartment.
"Now, take this- No, you may not have any of that food, it won't agree with- aargh, fine... After you have delivered it, hang around the house and we shall see if there are any grains or cheese waiting for you.", she grinned as the pigeon hopped around, seemingly in excitement.
"Now, take this to,", she named a location in the city, and said what roof the building had, also naming some notable features around it. "Understand?", she pigeon cooed. "Good. Make haste! And I will only reward you if you do a good job!", she rolled her eyes, and the pigeon flew out.
Turning back to the rest of the group, she felt the need to explain. "He's in adolescence...", she grinned and shook her head, before getting up yet again from the table and going to close the window.

She curtsied to the shop owner and beamed at him. The gratefulness was evident on her face to anyone who saw. Then Iskolde's eyes grew as wide as saucers as she saw the food. Eggs, bread, salted meat: it all looked delicious. She signed 'Thank you, it would be my pleasure' at his compliment and invitation. As she began to tuck into the meal, she let her eyes wander to the otherworldly being who was cleaning up the kitchen. It looked quite spiffy already, and she wondered how he got so much experience in the kitchen.

She perked up at his question, paying mind to where the conversation would go. With a start, she saw that Mei was returning with a pigeon in hand. To an even greater surprise, she realized that the woman was talking to it. Perhaps those were one of her powers. Mei sent the pigeon with the letter off.

The former maid thought that it might be rude to stare, so she lowered her eyes back to her food and began to pick apart the bread. However, her ears were still pricked to listen in on what the day's plan would be.

"Seems so," he responded to Zyan as the food is placed before them. As ate some of the bread, Devdan looked over to the conversation between Mei and the carrier pigeon. He knew of her unique skills he did find it rather fun to watch talk to such creatures. As the carrier pigeon flew off he said: "Maybe you could discuss there occasional leaving of business on my windows".with a smile. Adopting a more serious tone he says "I believe will all be accompanying Mei on some business she has today, training some people, though if dear Sophie here still sleeps I could wait here, I do have some small business to sort.

Gazer nodded after Devdan's summation of the day's projected events. "I have no qualms with that. I would, however, like to discuss my living arrangements with you Devdan, and spread the news that a new healer is in town, looking for clients. Preferably, we'd spread that news in the poorer regions of Adelport. Also, I will need to acquaint myself with the herbalist and apothecaries in the region. I am quite unused to the vegetation in this part of the world." Gazer took a sip of his tea. He needed to get himself established as a known name int he community, if he expected to have any business. Not that he was worried; Gazer had faith that a charitable undertaking would be returned in kind. The kindness I have received from these people is a perfect example of that. He smiled slightly at the happy thought.

Mei listened to (and read) the others conversation, nodding as Devdan spoke in brief about her plan. "Droppings are neither here nor there, we all must leave our waste somewhere.", she smiled wryly, she found them to be rather useful fertiliser.
"And if you all wish to accompany me, you are welcome to. Hmmm... Perhaps-", she cut herself off, wondering if they could go down to the safe house. After all, Zayn was opposed to violence, and she felt the others were in need of some company. However, Iskolde was a wild card of sorts, and Mei was hesitant on taking her down. It would be a nice test, anyway.
She continued her train of thought, "Well, there are some people who live with me, I'm sure you would all,", she glanced quickly at Iskolde, "like to meet.". There was no need for her to be worried, Iskolde had given her nothing but positive vibes, but she wondered how the others would react, and indeed how Iskolde herself would react.
"Ah, I need Sophie to go shopping for me, it was our original plan yesterday, after all.", she grinned, wondering when the heavy sleeper would awake.

Egon Xylander
6:27-7:15AM, Adelport outskirts -> streets
Interacting with: Open​

The sun's early rays cast a warm orange light over Egon's view, and he stopped for a moment to take it into his sore eyes. From his place on the path, he could see the city clearly in the distance. A sigh of relief escaped Egon's lips as he laid eyes on the farms. Isldrassilic for sure. They would be Egon's lifeline during his time here; between hunting and trading any game caught with local Isldrassilians, it would be simple enough for Egon to sustain himself while spend most of his time on the fringes of the city. Having grown up on an Isldrassilic farm, Egon could feign faith quite well. Isldrassilians are so tight-nit as a community that they wouldn't sell him out, either. His livelihood more or less sorted out, he decided it would be best to get a feel for the layout of the city now, while ahead of his pursuers. His brief respite over, he started down the path once more.

Alois's men had found him in Duermio faster than he'd believed them capable. After losing them in the city, he left the city itself. Chased from a somewhat comfortable life by the very same Zantoric noble who tore him from his hometown, Egon fled back up the coast, hoping to confuse those tracking him. Without a map to guide him, Egon followed the coast, just like the first time he fled. He even passed the very same road he used to escape Alois's manor. It had taken a few days, since he spent some time covering his tracks in some locations before running full tilt up the road again, but finally Egon made to Adelport.

Egon decided not to go too close to the city's center - if Egon gathered correct information, the city encircled a Zantoric temple, buildings he avoided like the plague. Traveling around the city's edge, he noted of alleys, porches, and other dark spots or shortcuts that would come in handy if being chased. He also paid particular attention to businesses that might be worth visiting at some point - the Brew & Cup Tavern seemed like a good place to pick up information. Seeing chainmail and blue, Egon stopped momentarily, thinking he might have just seen one of his pursuers. No, don't be paranoid, Egon told himself. He had moved far faster than them. Alois's trackers would not be here for at least a day more. It was probably a guard for some other Zantoric family. He shook his head and moved onward.

"Well here or there isn't the issue, the issue is when they drop shit on my windo- you know what forget it," Devdan says deciding to the topic on shit on windows in good humour. "Yes as I said I have some small business but if we all wish to go we can, though the matter of Sophie springs to mind, if she doesn't wake up shouldn't one of us wait here" he explained in a very measured way. "Not that accompanying you and visiting your residence isn't a lovely idea my dear, merely bring up the idea," he says with a smile. As he sat in the chair enjoying his meal he says "Maybe you could simply ay the rent with food Zyan" jokingly. Noting how Mei glanced at the young maid, Devdan kept a mental note. He imagined that Mei's friends might be of the non-human sort and he could understand the concern. Still Iskolde seemed to be of the non-judgemental sort. "Humans are nothing if unpredictable in emotions," the demon thought.
