Yeah, I know that? But ultimately it’s your choice. I’m collateral, but I’m collateral that knew what they were signing up for and the idea of seeing it through ain’t gonna make me run away.

That applies to both points. [ he’s just gonna look him dead in the eye back, it’s fine. ] It’s different if someone got thrown into this because some bright sparks out there got themselves convinced they’d found a Maou when they didn’t.

‘Sides. We’re demons. We’ve got tricks up our sleeves, if people get really mobbish about the whole thing.

[ hm, really hate signing his new husband up for collateral damage. but then, this is why they've always gotten along so well, isn't it? it's never hard to tell where the other stands, because more often than not, they'd choose the same anyway. ]

I don't have magic like you do. [ he says with a quiet sigh. ] But I'm ready to fight, if we have to. If nothing else, you should be able to use my blood to give you a boost.

[ marriage means sharing everything, even if the collateral damage. and any future pets. it’s fine. ]

I know fighting’s second nature, I get that. But I can be a little sneakier than that if you’re all looking a bit outnumbered.

If they decide you all need to leave, you leave on your terms. And I’m gonna do my best to make sure they get jack-shit for their troubles. [ he can illusion himself invisible kara. hopefully adding in a redstring boost’ll mean he can illusion maybe a nice round five extra people invisible too. ]

[ good luck taking the fuzzy ones from kara. ]

We'll make it work. But if we do have to fight, focus on the others first. I don't know much about Beau, but Tsukasa isn't a fighter, and their red strings may not be, either.

[ SHARE THEM. ]

... She seemed pretty confident in herself when we’ve talked about fighting in the past. [ She thinks? She can beat him? Wow. ]

Is it worth talking to them? As in me talking to them. So they know what to expect if things do go wrong. And so I know who else I’m including in this escape plan, other than those two. [ he has exactly zero clue who beau and tsukasa are redstringed to. ]

...Probably. They want an answer from me by noon tomorrow, so we can figure it out then.

I doubt she can beat you, but as long as she can hold her own, it doesn't matter.

Sure. She sometimes comes by the shop though, so if I run into her I might ask her a couple of things. [ i say as i barrel into flurry's inbox. ]

Good to know. It'll be easier if I can actually just illusion everyone at once, in case you get swarmed or something.

...We can try it before the deadline, if you want, just to be sure. Knowing your limits with it won't hurt.

If it turns out I can’t push it further than the norm, I’m prioritising getting you out over the others. [ literally fight him kara ] No arguments on that one, I don’t really care if you would rather fight your way out.

[ he looks like he wants to argue, but that's the tone ash gets when he's willing to out-stubborn anyone, for as long as it takes for them to concede. it's not like kara can blame him, either?? he'd do the same, after all. so he just. sighs. ]

...Fine. The others will just have to take care of themselves, then.

[ and since he's taken to carrying his sword with him again, testing this should be easy. he just pops it out of the sheath a bit, just enough to reach the sharp side and prick his finger on it before sliding it back in. as he holds his hand out to ash, they'll see the blood there looks normal, but pulses with some kind of energy. ]

Whenever you're ready.

[ they can argue about it if that's what kara's into. but it'll be long and drawn out and they'll just end up with what ash wants anyway c: ]

Yeah. I can saunter out at my own place, so you need to leg it as soon as you're not visible.

[ hm. he stares at the droplet of blood for a moment, before glancing up at kara. ]

What am I supposed to do with it? Drink it? Wear it like battle paint?

[ look he knows a lost cause when he sees it :/ ]

Right. The only ones I've told about us are the other Maou, so you should be fine.

[ as for the question, he just. shrugs. ]

Either works. All you really need to do is touch it, but drinking it should have the same effects.

[ good.

ash just kinda... glances at the blood, and then back at kara. ]

Kinky.

[ but no, he's just gonna touch the blood for the moment rather than like. lick kara's finger. you're welcome. ] Alright. I guess we'll see if this works on both of us first.

[ rolling his damn eyes. why are you like this, ash.

anyway the mod meta is "anything that comes into contact with the blood (whether covered in it or ingested) will receive energy boosts." and i have no idea if that means this will work or not so,, ]

[ it's been like hundreds of years this should not be a surprise.

he focuses for a moment and... well. kara vanishes. but he can't really tell if he does as well, which is the downside here. ]

... Well, I can't see you.
