Blue Horror

"Luca... Where are you?"

Blue seemed to be chuckling, although one could never be too sure thanks to the impossible anatomy of the demon. The blue bond hovered forwards out of the shadows it had been hiding in, and casually moved besides Rue. Its presence, as ever, felt unnatural in every way, even its red robes flickered behind it as if there was some invisible draft passing through the enclosed hallways. At first it made no attempt to stop or assist her, seemingly content with watching her struggles.

“That boy informed me to watch over you,” Blue commented after a while, although the demon's phrasing made it sound as if he was making a passing comment. “Why not wait for their return?”


Luca M. Feygor

"I guess I'm in your debt now. Call me if you ever need anything."

Luca offered Walker a placid smile, raising an eyebrow in return to his comment. “I didn’t do it to earn favours so forget about it.” He gave a nonchalant wave before he climbing up the ladder. It was a simple truth that he still felt a lingering regret for creating the whole situation, even if the end result had followed his original intentions. He'd certainly hadn't wanted to involve Rue either.

The return trip had been refreshingly peaceful and Luca had almost drifted asleep from sheer fatigue. The only thing which had kept him awake was his own unabated concern for Rue's injuries. He was startled then when he heard Erin's voice.

"Your bond, is he with Rue? I'd like to see her once this guy gets done talking,"

Luca’s hand was curled over his chest, still nursing the wound causing him pain every time he breathed in. He wasn’t sure if he’d broken or fractured them but the important thing was to keep taking full breaths, shallow breaths would only result in a chest infection. Still, he silently cursed the name of his bond and its cruelty for purposely taking the blow. His weary eyes met Erin’s, half smirking with a sense of admiration at the brother’s continued insistence to protect his sister.

"You should get looked at too you know, Rue's taken quite the liking to you, wouldn't want you to be in anything less than perfect condition." Erin suggested, clearly noticing his agitation as well. Luca shared a chuckle with Nemesis as he re-composed his facial features in an attempt to hide his pain, his laugh coming out in short rasps.

“Blue? He should be,” Luca nodded at first in confirmation before snorting out his cynicism, “And shouldn’t you be more concerned about yourself friend? Your carelessness nearly gave your sister a heart attack with the number of hits you took in comparison.”

His mood mellowed finally as he glanced in the direction of Snow, the bond’s pure white feathers prompting his concerns for Rue again. Rue was probably over stressing herself without the presence of her bond to comfort her. He only hoped she wouldn’t do anything rash in the time it took for them to get back.
