Arzu regretted ever opening his mouth, but it had actually made Alander pause for a moment. Then Gemini was yelling for him to grant her wish, it was a selfless wish, but Arzu didn't make any moves to grant it at all. It was a wish that asked for his and Sarina's safety, but what of the demon before him? No, Arzu would not grant her wish, though he probably should have. Things were happening so quickly, the demon was attacking Alander, and for a moment Arzu closed his eyes tightly. He did very much want to run away, but he couldn't. He couldn't leave Gemini and Sarina. He could grant Gemini's wish, but then the demon would still be here battling with Alander until one of them was victorious.
"No. Stop. Please. Please don't fight." He wanted to move forward and pull Gemini away, but the wish-cat didn't move. "Please, if you let these women leave, if you promise not to hurt them, I'll grant whatever wishes you want." It was a fair trade, his three wishes, his three lives for the lives of these two girls. "Please." Arzu had been on the receiving end of a lot of violence in his life, he had the scars to prove it. His unyielding resolve to not let go of his wishes so easily, but now. Now he was practically throwing them at Alander.
