[[ Okay, I'm going to try and address everybody right before I post. xD
Choey: You can take Nathan off if you'd like, it's all up to you!
AngelJoyeuse: Yep, you were accepted!
silence: There's a group of demons (and half-demons, counting Naomi, I guess) somewhere, Kiara can join them if you want. :3
Okay. There. I feel more organized now. ]]

Faust crossed his arms over his chest, a very human gesture that he had picked up over his time here. It seemed to properly show his disapproval at being offered help -- after all, as far as Faust was concerned, help was only given to him because other angels wanted to; certainly not because he needed it. "I assure you I can take care of myself," he said coolly, looking down his nose at Brea in a very arrogant, very uptight way. "Did you not see me beat those demons?" And of course the fact that he had had help flew completely his head -- once again, he didn't really see it as help. More as... volunteering.
This experience reminded Faust of a very long time ago, when he was still only a few millenia old and weaker than he was now. He had asked for help, then, as well, from an angel named Inias -- who had, promptly, laughed in his face and told him he would help once the other angel actually had any true power. This certainly wasn't what cause Faust to be so ruthless and uncaring, but occasionally he would think of it and feel especially angry. He thought of it now, and frowned, looking away from Brea for a moment, looking as if he was thinking very hard.
"I can take care of myself," he repeated, sounding careful again. "But you may... travel with me, if you would like." And, suddenly, a vision of his own garrison of angels popped into his mind, the same that he had seen in Lilith's eyes, and he once again found the want embedded deep inside him.
This was good.

Naomi's eyes flickered to the feet that were attached to the demon who sat down at her side, but she quickly averted her gaze when John urged her to tell the demon to go away. True, she didn't particularly feel like talking, but she wasn't as rude as the things in her head were. Naomi found the request to look at Lilith... odd. Why would she do that? Was she going to stare into her eyes and make it all better? Somehow, Naomi found this doubtful. Maybe all the demons were as unstable as Ragne. Actually... that didn't sound like an unreasonable thought at all.
But then Lilith started speaking again, and this time, Naomi listened. Her voice was persuasive, calming, and the effect was immediate -- but it was not, exactly, a normal reaction.
Naomi stiffened as if electrocuted, and, suddenly, John and Jane were screeching, begging, almost as if they knew something was wrong with this. But what was wrong, really? Naomi pursed her lips and turned her head to Lilith, her eyes watering with the pain in her temples. Somehow, even through the screaming in her head, she had to obey. There was no question to it.
"They're dead," Naomi whispered, her voice a tremulous octave higher than normal. "Th-they're all dead." She suddenly clamped her head in her hands and looked away, trying to rid her head of John and Jane, of the screaming and the scolding and the sense of impending insanity. "B-but there's... there's two others... who aren't dead..." Why was she telling this to Lilith? John and Jane had been kept a secret from everyone else, everyone. "John and Jane," she gasped out, putting her forehead to her knees. Suddenly, it was very quiet in her mind, only broken by Jane's "I can't believe you told her."
