Jephthah tiled his head sideways in confusion, even as Nadia explained the whole ordeal. BonBon honestly enjoyed listening to what the girl said, because it made what went on all the funnier. It was a guilty pleasure of the love bug's to cause mischief. Jephthah, on the other hand, just gave a confused look for a moment. "Okay, then. Why don't we change the subject?" letting go of BonBon, whom walked away purring, the boy asked, "By the way, how is your gymnastics coming?" He has seen her perform it at least once, and despite her mediocrity, he found her quite beautiful in a leotard. Certainly, he figured she would have improved, by now.

Abdas nodded in apprehension as Stella spoke about not having any romantic feelings for anyone. His face went redder still upon being touched by her. Her query and further explanation, as well as her expressions, made him wonder if she had some sort of secret. Finally, he said, "Well, yes, I have had romantic feelings for someone, before. Once, while in my coyote form, I started a family with a female mortal coyote that I was in the company of during the time of Noah. I don't think the man found out I was an angel, otherwise he most likely would have spoken o me in a different manner. But, anyway, the female coyote... when she died of old age, I, as you notice, still retained my youth, which was a depressing thought. You could say all mortal coyotes you see today are descended from me." His face turned even redder before he continued. " Anyway, long after that, I met both Cupid and Styx, the latter I fell in love with instantly. She just seemed so innocent, so playful, so beautiful, she reminded me of the peaceful life I never had due to slaying demons for the whole of my existence. It was not to be, however: she was in love with Cupid, before she betrayed us all and became a demon, herself. I never had the chance to confess my feelings to her." His face turned sideways, his face now neon red. "And now, I have romantic feelings for another angel whom is seemingly innocent, not to mention, energetic. I do not know how she feels, though. After all, an angelic man with a violent past, whom only knows how to destroy, is hardly a candidate for an angelic woman's heart."
