Snippet #2141776

Chiba noticed Boaz's behavior, as well. "So, what do we do once we reach THORN?"

Boaz hoped that question would not come up. "I honestly have no clue, we've honed our abilities, all our lives, for the purpose of defending ourselves against Uncle Kabaiel and God knows what other immortals would be after us. Now that we settled the family dispute, there is no telling who else would want us for our skills. If you thought the Organization was a pest when they captured us, an entire legion of demons is even worse. With us close by each other, Chiba, our aura will start attracting attention from that kind of demonic group, or worse. All this begs the question: should I stay at THORN and risk everything, or leave to keep you and Rei from receiving the worst end of this problem. They'll be after me more because I can better manage a fight. They won't consider you a major threat, which gives you the advantage. I don't have that luxury." A tear came down his right eye. "I'm torn, I really am."
