Having heard the conversation due to her mastery of air bending, and thus soundwaves in the air, she was quite annoyed that the demon thought she would reverse anything. But she was glad that The demon decided to ask his prince to take care of this, at least the princess was thought off and protected so far so good. But of course keeping an eye out would be for the best. If she would reverse the healing process she had been making with the human the peace would sure enough end, and that was the last thing Dia was hoping for. Enough bloodshed has been made so far.

Sikura appeared at the balcony where she first met Damien. Her hand was to her neck to make sure she wasn't bleeding again. She looked around the room before deciding to stay outside where she wouldn't be a bother. Everyone had left on the floor outside in the gazebo. It hurt her feelings but she would just keep her mouth shut. 'I'm just a human anyway. But...' She looked over at Damien and sighed.

Damien just nodded, not saying anything back to Talon but moved to the circle where the demons were> "Well what do we have hear? This doesn't seem like you are treating her with the proper respect." He let his aura out just a little and the demon bowed before him. "Apologize to the Princess and show your proper respect as you would our Lord!"

"Of course," she said to Talon simply as he headed off toward the prince. She was no warrior or diplomate so she stayed were she was. She did watch carefully though in case bloodshed ensued.

It seemed that things would be okay so she let out a small sigh of relief. She really wasn't positive if Talon would actually return or not so she was a bit surprised when he did. She replied to him, "I'm sure you were helpful. Oh it was nothing it all to offer to help with his human girl." She couldn't help but smile back at him.

Talon's smile remained as he nodded his head, though keeping a careful watch on the proceedings of the Prince and lower class demon situation. "I hope so. Sometimes my advice towards him goes in one ear and out the other, or at least that's how it seems at times. Though it does appear that this is one of those cases in which he truly did listen, which is good" he said with a rather relieved smile.

"And your offer truly is appreciated. It also is a relief that an angel is willing to assist a demon despite all the fighting and bloodshed of the past. It makes me feel as if this peace treaty may actually work" he said quietly praising Phoenix in a way.

the features on her face had softened visibly, and even a small smile was seen on the priestess her face, though it was short. She then went back to putting her full concentration of senses near the human, who had taked a place on the balcony. In the end she was a priestess and those were supposed to heal and not stick to problems who had been solved already. A soft sigh was heard, though she did wonder why the demons had given up on war so easily, for the angels it was logical, they werent fighter lovers of nature, though demons loved killing if not fighting. But that would be another solved neck breaking problem right... Nothing to worry about, hopefully.

Penelope Jumped slightly when the prince came to her aide. She was glad for it. She didnt know how much more hasing she would of been able to take had he not come along. The demons glanced up at penelope and said their sorrys and gave her respectful bows before hurring off.
"I dont think that frightening them was really nessicary!" She sai dturning to the prince and preparing for his hasing. "Anyways, you can go and check on Miss. Sikura, i wouldn't mind,Sides im still a little worried about her my self!"Penelope stated as she some what scuffed her feet.

"There is nothing we can do about her at the present moment. All I can do is mingle with your side and you with mine. They must mingle and do so nicely or as nice as they can. Having me and Talon lead the front of it will help the lesser demons to understand this and take innitiative to do so on their own without my help. As for yelling at them, I could have done far worse but violence would not have solved anything." He said, his eyes still showing no emotion at all.

"If you wish to goto Sikura than by all means do so. I shall continue my mingling elsewhere." He bowed and headed to a small group of angels who looked frightened at his approach andhe began talking to them calmly and slowly a small conversation started.

Her eyes closed as she heard Damien from where she was standing. Sikura closed her eyes and figured she meant nothing to him anymore. She walked past the angels and demons towards the exit looked for her carriage. "Only if I died would he care."

Looking at the retreating form of the human, the young priestess went after her, to hear some words she had never liked. She seemed to be looking for something, her carriage maybe?
'Is there something wrong that makes you want to leave, miss...? My name is diamond, feel free to call me dia.' she smiled looking over at the probably sad human to have said such words.

She had a tear in her eyes as she closed them and shook her head. "I don't really want to. But it seems I am no longer worthy of being here. My time is up but I cannot return home. Might as well kill myself and go to hell. I have no choice."

'Sweetheart, you and I both know that once you die you wont go for hell.' she said looking at the woman
'And no one decides whether or not youre worthy of being somewhere. There are to many things to weigh that down upon. Youre special in your own way.' she softly said looking at the place.
'And since the treat has been made, your time isnt over yet. Though Lucifer did slow down the process I think, it might just take some time before its stopped. Or he takes his time.' she sighed
'Miss, you always have a choice, do you show backbone, or do you turn tail. I think you have enough courage to go back in there, grab that demon over by his ear and show him he shouldnt ignore the one for who he almost turned berserk for. But thats what I think, im sure you have got a sweeter less violent idea that comes down to the same thing, getting his attention.' she grinned.
'I havent gotten your name yet?' she smiled in awaitance.

"Sikura." Her eyes closed as she looked to the ground and sighed. Sikura found her carriage and then looked at the angel. "I can't control Damien. Even if I tried and succeded, he'd rip me apart for it later. Besides, he has a princess to please." She didn't move towards the carriage as she stood there. A soft mist started to fall on them and the earth.

'Well as a woman, sikura, id say let him take control of you, since hes the demon he seems to be the leading one if you ask me' she said making a joke out of it.
'Never try to control a guy, makes them want to go loose with another person. dont.' she said with the hands at her hips.
'And no, the princess isnt charmed by him, rather his formal secundant. He has got a father to please so his woman, you, for which he truly cares stays alive. So go in there and support him just by being there. He doesnt show but im sure he would appreciate if he knew how much ur thinking about it, and he would even if he doesnt know, he better. Dont think with love, do.' she grinned.
'Or wait here for him, but dont leave. Everything except for that.' she stated as a final idea

Sikura nodded as she heard the angel's words. "You're right." Her eyes went to the angel as she smiled. "Thank you, Diamond." She said as she went back into the ballroom and wiped herself dry with a towel. The human headed start for the prince of hell and got closer to him. "Damien..."

Sticking her tongue out to the guy taking care of the carriage, she went back inside, a content smile showing at her face. Sending some warm air sikura's way, as a I-am-here-if-you-need-someone-to-talk-too. she took a small drink, and went back to her book, and observing the ballroom of course, problems seem to have a domino effect here.

"Yes I do hope things will work for the best. Even with a peace treaty though I still feel that there will be many battles ahead. Peace takes time and old habits die hard. It is a relief though to know that there are some on both sides willing to put effort forth," she said to Talon.

((sorry I know this is a short post. I won't be able to be on much today or tomorrow so if you would like Talon to be open to interact with the others that's fine by me))

How cold hearted he can be! penelope thought as she watched the prince turn away and speak with some angels. quite the ladys man as well! She thought again before turning herself and of course bumping to the heavy chest of a man much taller than her.
"Oh im sorry!" She stated genuily sorry for running into yet another demon.
"thats quite alreight my lady!" Zeak stated with a kind smile as she seen Penelope look up at him and then back where he was last sitting. "Im quite fine now, Seemes your older brother is much kinder than your father!" he stated with a smile.

"Y-You meane Big brothers here!?" Penelope asked excited ly and looked around. "W-where is he You just let him go without making him see me!?" She questioned still as excited as a little kid on christmas day.

"well hes here but i dont know where!" Zeak stated before he led penelope towards a grupe of female demons. "Right now you must be concirned with the guests and not your brother!" He said as he over seen penelope to the small talk she had with the demons.

Damien heard his name. "Excuse me ladies." He then turned his attention to Sikura, gently grabbing her hand and kissing it. "Yes, my dove? What is it?"

penelope continued to allow herself to be lead around to diffrent grupes of demons. to her surprise they had alot to say. She figuared most would be rude and ignore her but most wanted to talk. Though they all had things to say about the treaty, of which penelope took nots on what some of the demons wanted, But most were willing to talk of other things as well.

"Your doing well my lady!" Zeak said with a smile as he stood with her in the middle of all the demons.
"I must say they are not as bad as i thought they would be!" She stated with a smile. "Now Wheres Bog brother at!?" She asked excited that she may be able to see the one and only hear to the thrown of heaven.
"I dont know where he is i told you!" Zeak said a little inpashently. "and even if i did i wouldent tell you!" the man states as he flicked Penelope's nose. The girl glared up at him before she stuck her toung out.
"Just tell me I wanna know!" She whinned "Sides some of the angels and demons have gotten brave and are starting to mingle!" She added as she notted to the many angels beginning to exit their confor zone and began speaking with some demons.
Sighing with defeate Zeak threw up his arms indicating to penelope to move along and try to find her brother."Im telling you your not going to find him lest he wants to be found!" Zeak stated as he fallowed Penelope out of the main hall and into the confusing castle.

Talon calmly nodded his head in agreement with the angel's statement. "Yes I do agree that old habits die hard. Even I will have a few challenges with them. Oh well they do say that practice makes perfect, so surely the old habits of both demons and angels will start to fade within the next few hundred years or so. Sooner would be better, however I doubt that it would be any sooner with the demons" he said with a calm sigh as his gaze had remained on Phoenix. Out of the corner of his eye he had seen the swift 'departure' of the human, only to see her return a few moments later and get the attention of the Prince. 'I can't say that I disagree with Lord Lucifer's disapproval of a mere human clinging to our Prince. Especially one that seems so...helpless and weak willed' he thought with a sigh and could hear a sound of agreement from Lucifer in the back of his mind. The bat winged demon however wouldn't act on his disapproval for the sake of his friend's happiness, even if his own had been smitten and stopped earlier.

Suddenly he could feel the aura of his second approach and enter the ballroom once more. Janen had entered hesitantly after picking himself off of the floor and had waited a while before entering. His blue eyes glanced around and rested on his Commander and immediately he made his way towards him. He had noticed that the lower class demons and some angels were slowly starting to mingle with one another as well as his Commander and Prince.

When he was within speaking range of his Commander he stopped and quietly waited for the said demon to finish his sentence with the angel before attempting to get his attention. "Excuse me...Commander Talon? Is there anything else you require of me at this time?" he asked a bit hesitantly.

"Excuse me once more Miss Phoenix" Talon said with an apologetic tone before he turned his attention towards his second. He was a bit annoyed at the demon interrupting him. "Yes go mingle. Now" he said calmly though firmly and pointed towards the ballroom floor where larger groups of angels and demons were. Once he saw the reluctant nod of his second and his retreating form he once more turned back towards the half mechanical angel. "Sorry for that" he said gently rubbing the back of his head in another apology. During his brief exchange with his Second he had seen the Princess and her body guard wander off somewhere, though their auras remained in the general area though he couldn't pinpoint exactly where.

Phoenix was about to reply when Talon's second had approached them and began to speak. She simple bowed lightly in response to Talon and waited patiently for them to finish speaking with one another. Once his second had left she replied, "It is quite alright Sir Talon. A man in your position is often busy with those he is in charge of. I must admit it is nice to see how serious you are about your position. It says a lot about your character." She felt some comfort from this since it also meant that he would take the peace treaty seriously. Phoenix was glad that the demons had someone like Talon on their side.


Wanting to pick up from the last conversation Phoenix said, "To your previous words I agree
that we will all have to change but it is not impossible. My wish is that some day our realms can pick up trading with one another. There is demonic craft work that is simply amazing. Also the sharing of knowledge and science would benefit us both. Though I must admit that is something I dearly long for. I am always eager to soak up some new knowledge."

Her eyes went to his as she smiled at little as he kissed her hand. Sikura blushed a little as she showed she was a little upset. "What happened? I woke up by myself with an angel priestess." She closed her eyes as the mark gave her a little pain but not much.

Talon calmly smiled once more. "I thank you for your compliment. I have found in Hell that taking one's position seriously is a must otherwise things...go to chaos that isn't necessarily good for us. It probably helps that I also rather enjoy my position fairly well, even if there are some aspects I wouldn't mind getting rid of" he said calmly.

He gently nodded his head in agreement with her. He indeed knew that it wouldn't be impossible to reach where it was that the races were more peaceful with one another. "I agree that it would be rather beneficial for both races to established such trades and knowledge with one another. I can fully understand your eagerness to gain new knowledge, as I feel the same. I'm also quite curious to see what has all changed since my fall. If there's anything though in particular you wish to acquire from the demons, whether it be particular crafts or knowledge, I'll be more than happy to assist you in attaining it if I can" he said quietly, not really wishing for most other angels or demons to really hear is offer to Phoenix. He too was rather relieved to find such an angel on the angel's side, whose thirst for knowledge and openness was vast and a welcoming sight.

I ran a hand through my hair, honestly, I am at a loss of what to do... Maybe read another book? I have read this one over and over by now, but knowledge should not rust. Stupid excuse, maybe I should bow myself over elementless magic again? Weeks it has been that I have read that book. Things seemed to go well, I could stand at the balcony for a while, catching some fresh air would not do me bad now would it? Sikura could handle herself, with just a bit of a push in the right direction. Making my way over to the balcony which had not been easy mind you, I took a deep inhale looking at the clouds. Summoning my book, I began to lazily read, enjoying the wind blowing through my actually way to long hair. Maybe I should cut it? That would not be smart... at all.
