Emma didn't respond, looking away from her hand, and lowering it. Not for the first time, she wondered what kind of person she was. It was true that demons couldn't hurt someone if they were bound to her, because she wouldn't let them. But, he really seemed unhappy. Was it so bad?

Her guilt grew when she saw Hannah. Her friend didn't seem too bad off, but still, would she even need a healer if it wasn't for her?

Not to mention her anger towards Penny. What was all this? Suddenly, Emma felt rather tired and alone. She hadn't felt this way for a long while. Hannah was silent, but she had been another person, quietly beside Emma. Penny had been bubbly and happy, brightening her up. It kept her from all the loneliness that Emma felt could smother her. She had viewed them as friends for so long. Finding out they had kept, and were still keeping so much from her stung, much more than Emma would have liked.

Emma's violet eyes turned to the healer, and she nodded, letting the woman work. Once she was done, Emma pasted a smile on her face, though she felt far from happy. "Alright. So, this should keep the demons from attacking the town?" Emma didn't voice her next thought. The force Penny had pulled together was amazing, considering Emma was human, and demons seemed to go with the side likely to win. If Hadrien came down on them, there was no way they would.

"You guys have done so much...Thank you..." She felt useless, and stupid, staring at all the work the demons had done. "I've...I've been thinking, Hannah....Maybe I should at least try talking with the demon lord first...If this binding power is more common than we...than I had thought, then there has to be another reason he's coming, right? So...we should find out the reason, and maybe we could work something out with him, yeah?"
