The two horses made to settle down for the night while their new Mother took care of Nightshade's rider, after her announcement of taking Keeper back when he was on his feet again, there wasn't much else they could do. After laying back down herself, Uni's merely watched her adopted kids as she waited for sleep as well, though before that black abyss claimed her Keeper's question brought her to again and she became thoughtful. It was a question she hadn't thought he'd ask and one she had heard before between hopeful couples, it almost seemed like beating around the bush to ask which form was more attractive to who they were pursuing. She knew she had to be careful with how she answered that, it wouldn't do to give anything away, however, as she thought of how to best word a response something Shiro had advised her to do came back to mind, remembering the first time she had come across Keeper. Both forms then had caused her grief, Shiro had asked her if she could look back now and overlook all that, knowing what she knew now, that answer seemed obvious.... it wasn't Keeper... it was his Mother. Martha had been pulling the strings behind everything Keeper had done before and forced his change of forms to force her hand and strip her of her title as Soul Guardian, leaving thousands of souls for demon fodder. Actually, Martha's own title came into play, the Angel of Knowledge, though she seemed to know things... she knew nothing... For would it not have been by her word that the Angels turned their backs on the Demonhearts while they were being slaughtered? Would that not mean that she herself believed the rumors against the entire race? Solvek may be to blame for Martha bearing Keeper, but that Angel was to blame for her being the last of her kind. Uni had to check herself from seething, that Angel dare say that everything would be alright for the Demonhearts? How dare Martha even show herself after what she had caused, all but the extinction of an entire race and now doomed the race again to eternal oblivion, to cease to exist, to be, entirely. No, if anything Lyrica had been right about one thing, Uni had misunderstood Keeper at the beginning, but not because of the words of a foolish Sprite, Lyrica hadn't helped matters any either, she too, and by Martha's guidance it seemed, had only made things worse for the Soulguard... none of it was Keeper's fault at all......
Uni was only just able to bring herself out of her strayed thoughts before any of her mounting anger at the Angel came to the surface enough to show and instead tried to focus on Keeper's question Every form has its advantages and disadvantages. Humans have not the physical strength of a demon and are more susceptible to fall to illness, however, when need be they can prove to be a throne in even a demon's side when they work together. Likewise those with human forms, who don't resent having such forms, find it easier to blend in to avoid certain unwanted attention. Demons and other such creatures, while their strengths evident when you face them, also have their weaknesses, be it elemental or something else, if one takes the time to find it, in your case the source of energy you Soulguards need if not bound to one you can draw power from. You are a Soulguard, be whatever form you are in, and that won't change unless some hand changes you into something else. In any case, even if that did happen, form is of no concern to me, we are what we are born to be, we did not choose it, we can either chose to deny it or accept it, so I suppose the real question is, which form do you find more bearable? in a sense she was sending his own question back at him, but she wasn't going to ask straight out which of her forms he preferred, Demonhearts were like Shiro in that sense that they didn't always ask or say certain things directly, but rather indirectly.
The Demonheart couldn't avoid the yawn that escaped, pearl white fangs flashing in the flickering firelight, none marred with the crimson of any she had fought with and used those fangs against. If it was one thing one might care to notice, was Uni's always pristine white appearance, some demons were known for killing just for bloodlust and getting covered with the red that they drew from a living being, but the Demonheart kept herself free from it, any blood she might come to draw never stained her person, fur, feather, clothes, nothing. Stars and Moon above, she had even made to wash herself after dealing with the Naga the first time that snake had caught Keeper and with the Soulguard on the bank. Uni curled like a cat beside the fire, head resting on hands she kept her gaze on Keeper waiting to see if he responded or not.
