(Lol Janen had been working on waking people up so he wasn't really near the Prince at the time. Since Talon had gone to Janen to hit him upside the head he would be standing next to him. Lol in my post I said that Talon's gaze just merely went to the Prince, I didn't say anything about him approaching when he asked Damien the question. XD)

((everyone look at janen's pic in the OOC thread... He is SO cute xD))

(LOL! I'm glad you like it then. XD)

((teehee <3 you should make him an official character xD))
Looking at the now awake lessers, I stretched myself for I did a good job on making them sleep and waking them up myself too. As I saw the princess plus miss angel enter, I smiled. Somehow this treat is going well, with its ups and downs... Thats gonna be one hell of a report, and not literal.

Phoenix came into the ball room and was glad to see that the lesser demon and angels had been stopped. Apparently the means of stopping them had been to put them to sleep. She liked the idea since it was nonviolent. They were rousing and behaving so all was well.

She felt a little out of place more than before since she was wearing so much red but it could not be helped. She walked over to one of the random chairs near the wall and sat down gracefully. She watched glad no one was fighting. It seemed the Prince had his pet back out though and it frustrated her. So much bad had happened because of the simple human and she had hoped he would have kept her put away somewhere out of sight. She doubted the Prince would be able to focus on such important matters such as peace with the girl around. There was not much she could to about it so she remained where she was sitting and hoped things would go smoothly from here on out.

(Lol I've been thinking about it. XD)

Talon's gaze continued to watch his friend and Prince. He hadn't exactly received an answer to his question, at least not one that was directed at him. He had heard him mention about it possibly being impolite at such a conference. "Shall I take that as a no I may not behead my second in command? I promise I'll do it out side and away from people. I do fairly clean cuts and I could just incinerate his body and head..." he said with again a rather serious tone.

This of course worried the white haired demon beside him. Janen still couldn't tell if his Commander was actually serious or if he was just pulling some cruel joke on him. Honestly he hoped it was the second rather than the first. Whenever Talon had a report for him to give to Hell and Lucifer on the battlefield he would always send him via death, so he wasn't unfamiliar with dying. His only real qualms with it was that it was fairly painful as Talon wasn't exactly the 'gentle' type when it came to killing. "I'd rather be under just Prince Damien and Lord Lucifer's command rather than under this tyrant of a Commander. At least they wouldn't go about asking if they could kill their underling like this..." he said quietly looking at the ground, and fairly unware that the 'tyrant' he had been speaking of could easily hear him.

"Your right, they would just kill you without warning just like that angel..." Talon said quietly. A slight smirk spread across his features as that realization dawned on his second and had shut him up rather quickly. The bat winged demon knew that Janen hadn't thought about that and that he had been thinking that he wouldn't be killed by either one. Of course Damien had proven that to be false already when he killed the angel from before for merely talking to the human girl he fawned over, or his actions towards the Princess for just approaching her. "Suddenly this 'tyrant' doesn't seem so bad huh?" he asked his second quietly and had to suppress a chuckle as Janen quickly nodded his head.

His attention didn't remain long however on either his second nor the Heir of Hell. Instead his eyes had caught another sight of red out of the corner of his eyes and he momentarily directed his attention towards the half mechanical angel sitting against the wall. To him the color too seemed to suit her as it seemed to go well with her metallic parts. It didn't quite fit her form as well as the previous dress, but it wasn't that which intruiged him.

As she sat there watching the demons and angels she felt eyes on her and searched for them in the crowd. Phoenix noticed it was, of all people, Talon which surprised her. A little unsure of how to respond she turned her gaze away from his. Was he planning something? No that did not make much sense. If Talon were up to something she hardly felt she would have anything to do with it. Then it hit her and she looked down at her dress. Perhaps this had been an awful choice being such a vibrate color. She had always preferred to stay more hidden and this garment was doing the exact opposite. She shifted a little uncomfortable under his gaze and her own self image.

(Well im just stupid and Ill go with it and ignore what i previously said other than about her fear for Janen Kuz it seemes to me hes voicing it)

Penelope rinkled her nose at the thought of constantly being kill. the prince didnt do a thing to calm her sympathy for the demon. "impropor or not and Use to it or not! Its not right!" She protested before she leaned over the armrest of the chair to get closer to the prince. "Now on a more pressing matter, What are we going to do!" She stated and noticed the human was back and now in red. Penelope gave a pleasent smile. She was glad to see the girl and wasnt about to make it seeme as if she wasnt. "Im glad to see your still here even after the little out burst!" Penelope said still smileing at the girl. "Im Princess Penelope!" She introduced herself to not only the Human girl but also The prince of Hell.

Zeak stood beside his priincess and listened to her get straght to business. Though the party wasnt exactly over, she still wanted to get the more pressing mattors out of the way so that they may move on with the fun.

Sikura looked over at the princess of heaven. The human blushed and curtsied to the angel. "I'm Sikura, the daughter of Lord Tikuri." Her eyes didn't meet Penelope's as she felt embarrassed to get so much attention from the royals. She was a mere human girl sent to represent her father. "It is an honor, Princess Penelope."

Penelope smiled at the girl she was still glad to see her back. "You dont have to be so formal!" Penelope said and gustered at her own posture. "Im sure father would scold me more for being so informal!" She said with a small laugh.

"Princess you shouldent be acting so informal!" Zeak said a warning to his tone. He could feel his stomach turning, a sighn that The king wasnt very happy. "Its best you start playing your roll before Methos himself comes to correct your wrongs!" Zeak stated and lightly grasped Penelope's ear and pulled her to a more princess like pose. Of course she protested by squeeling in pain and trying to push his hand off her ear but it effected Zeak very little.

Damien listened haphazardly to the two women talking He then raised a brow as the Princess yet again acted more like a child than well...a child. He sat quietly as he waited for her retainer to stop pulling her ear.

Zeak released Penelope when she stopped batting at him and sat like a good girl. a small pain ran through his body and he knew imedatly it was a small punishment for inproperly scolding the princess. He held his stomach feeling very quesy and yet he still retained his guard like composur.

Penelope held her ear for zeak had griped it rather tightly.She then turned her attenchion to everyone who now seemed awake and alert. She sat back and waited. She waited to see what was next. She sort of felt like her father was going to decenf from heaven and Lucife would Accend from hell and the two would battle it out right in the room to decide who the real winner of the war was.

Sikura stood near the thrones as she noticed her marking had extended to around her wrist. Her eyes went to Damien as she looked at him with fear. She didn't want to bother him but was hurting her wrist. A cut started to form on her arm as the vine rose started up her arm. "Damien..."

Damien blinked and looked over at Sikura. "Yes?" He then noticed her arm and sighed. "I didn't think it would happen so fast...." He mumbled not sure what to do before waving Talon over, not wanting to make a scene.

Talon had noticed the angel named Phoenix avert her gaze from his and seemed to move uneasily. At this he too averted his gaze. He hadn't meant to make her feel uncomfortable. Perhaps when his question had been answered and his business with it done he would talk with the angel and apologize for his staring.

"Consider yourself lucky Janen for the time being, but don't think your off the hook just yet..." Talon quietly warned his second in command as he caught the signal Damien gave him to come over. Quickly and calmly he went to his Prince. He wasn't entire sure if perhaps he was in a bit of trouble himself for requesting to end the life of his second or if he was being summoned over for an entirely different reason. Whichever it was he was determined that he would take care of Janen once whatever it was, was over with.

As was expected of him the bat winged demon kneeled a bit away from the foot of the two throne as both a form of respect to both heirs and to show his lower status when compared to them. "How may I be of service?" he asked calmly. His gaze was fixed on Damien and not the human girl near him. He really didn't have any sort of interest in the human girl. He still believed her to look too angel like to be of any real interest, but his friend seemed rather interested in her. Why he would never know though.

Janen let out a sigh of relief as, for the meantime, his life would be spared. He wasn't sure that, that would be the case when his Commander returned, but for now he would use the oppertunity to possibly 'disappear' within the crowd of angels and demons. Perhaps this would prolong his life, but he had a feeling it wouldn't.

penelope glanced over at Damien and Sikura. She could tell something was wrong but didnt know what. It was very inportant though for Damien had summoned Talon over. "Your majesty is something wrong!?" She asked keeping her voice low as it seemed they did not want anyone to get aroused by what was happening.

Zeak watched the demons. He could see that the human was going through something a change perhaps from the mark Damien left on her. reguardless it would cause an uproar if anyone other than the 5 of them knew. He would wait it out to see what was going to happen and if he was going to be needed.

"It is nothing Princess, I assure you." He had kept his eyes on Talon and bent down whispering to him. "The mark on her arm....look at it...I've never seen it do that so quickly..."

At hearing his Prince's request, Talon immediately rose and went to the side of the human girl to examine her arm. "I won't harm you so don't worry" he said calmly as he gently took Sikura's arm that held the mark, being careful to use his hand that didn't have his curved blade still strapped to it. He had forgotten about that fact until about now, and figured he would take care of it after this.

He was only slightly relieved that he hadn't been summoned to endure any sort of wrath from his friend, not that he believed there was really and reason for it. As he looked and studied the human's mark he was also mindful to watch Damien for any sort of hostile actions towards him. He had already seen him overreact with the angel's getting too close to her, and based on that and how protective he seemed of her Talon wasn't going to take any chances.

After a few more moments he released the girls hand and arm and moved so that he was beside only Damien. He didn't really want the others to hear what it was he had to say to the Prince. "I didn't think he would actually go through with it...Since your first tantrum Lord Lucifer has been quite displeased, as he hasn't stopped talking, ranting and laughing in here" the bat winged demon said calmly tapping one of his temples to indicate that Lucifer has been communicating with him mentally the entire time.

"I feel he may be the cause of the mark spreading faster than it should. If it continues there's going to be quite a bit of damage done both physically and mentally. The reason why the spread is much slower is because it gives the host's body time to adjust, but if that process were for some reason to speed up...Well I'm sure you can imagine what could very well happen..." he said quietly. He thought for a few moments of what the options that were currently available since he was sure that would possibly be the next question.

"I can think of four options that are currently available. One is to talk to the one upstairs, the King of Heaven and see if he'll listen to you and reverse the damage that has been done. I wouldn't recommend that one though. He's not a fun person to talk to trust me, and since your a demon he won't want anything to do with your request. The second is communicating with your father and convince him to reverse it himself. In which case you'll probably need the use of a demon who has a mental link with him at the moment since I know that neither one of you like to communicate to one another mentally in your own minds..." he said with a sigh and only pausing for a few moments. He wasn't exactly thrilled to deliever the third or fourth method to his friend, not that he was thrilled about the first two either.

"The third option is giving up your claim on the human and permanently removing your mark from her. This of course will prevent you from marking her again. The fourth of course is to simply kill the human and end the process completely and permanently" he said after a few moments. He then prepared himself for a possible uproar from the Heir of Hell. He did know of one other option, but it was even more risky than the other four options so he kept that one to himself, although they did have what was needed to perform it.

Janen watched his Commander and Prince converse with one another. When he witnessed Talon approaching the human and then touching her he was even more shocked. First he was shocked that Talon had even touched the human, as he clearly wanted nothing to do with her. The second shock was that he was touching her with Damien right there. Like his Commander he had witnessed what happened when others even went near her or talk to her, so he wasn't exactly sure if the one bladed demon would be coming back in one piece. As much as he disliked his Commander sometimes he still didn't really want any harm to befall him. Besides that would mean that he would have to take the position of leading Hell's army and trying to be the top assassin, which he was sure he couldn't fill either one or replace Talon.

Carefully he tried to make his way towards the Priestess angel, but found his path to be blocked. She had proven to have quite a bit of power, although he wasn't sure she could be used for the purpose he had in mind. Instead, once he found his path blocked by others he began to make his way towards the half mechanical angel. He had heard her say something about healing and such so maybe she could be useful if the Prince did decide to lash out at his Commander for touching 'his precious Dove'. Typically he didn't really like to interact with angels, but he figured he would have no choice but to make an exception. Once he was sure he was within earshot of the angel he stopped. "You said you had healing powers right?" he asked a little louder than normal so he could be heard over the murmurings of the other angels and demons within the ballroom.

Sikura looked at damien ready to try and calm him if he went off again. Her eyes went to her arm as Talon touched her. The demon was gentle with her as he examined her arm and she was grateful. Though the four option he gave Damien scared her. Espically the fourth one. She looked at Damien as he was given the choices.

Penelope gave the prince a look that showed she didnt beleave him But he wasnt looking her way and had no way of knowing she was going to keep poking about untill she got her answer. She kept her attenchion on the demons and was sure to listen very carfully.
Somethings wrong with the human!? She thought rather surprised as she wtached Talon examin her. It shocke dher that the prince was allowing it but she quickly peaced to gether what she had not herd. The prince had asked Talon to look at her ther for the prince wouldnt rain down with pain and wrath. She listened more to the options Damien had.
Options for what exactly!? She thought before hereing he might have to ask her father. Daddy! oh no dont ask him he'll ripp your head off and then save the girl. She thought. But then again Im sure big brother wouldent mind going behind dads back... oh who am i kidding Hes a goody goody who gets the throne next hes not going to go agenst dad. The only one that would is me and Danial! Penelope have a sigh of irritation at thinking of how cruel her father and older brother could be. She thought so much on this that she missed the other options.

Phoenix noticed something was going on near the throne area. She decided to see if she could be useful. She stood up and made her way to the princesses side. She bowed lightly and said," You majesty is there anything I might be able to help with?" She did not think she would be needed but all the same she wished to offer her services just in case.

((crap sorry posted with my mule, it's Chikuma))

Penelope was snapped from her thoughs by phoenix asking if she could be of use. The princess could only give a shrug."Only if they let us help, can we help!" penelope Replyed and looked back at the demons and human.

Zeak turned his attenchion to the Prince and Talon. His stomach was turning circles. It seemed that the King was not happy with the idea of getting asked to help the traterous human. "a very wise statement my lady!" Zeak said hopeing to ceatch the demons attenchion. "After all we are here for dipomacy, wht better way to show our good will than to save the princes's lover!" He added still feeling rather ill.

Phoenix had not noticed the human's situation till now. She glanced over and tried not to show the worry that she felt. She had learned about such markings and knew this was not normal. The human would die at this rate. Phoenix had studied such things when she had been a spy and did know something that would slow the process but without massive healing energy to help the procedure would kill her. Her mind went back to the priestess angel.

"Your majesty I have an idea that may work. It's a process I developed when I was living with the demons but I would need the help of the priestess. The process and the healing energy would do the trick I believe," she said quietly and calmly to the princess.

((I figured this way the priestess and I could work together ^-^ . ))

(*Poke* Just to point out Talon had given his options low enough so that Damien would be the one in earshot rather than anyone else. :sweat: XD)

((do I need to change my posts? If so I don't mind))
