"It seems you have all arrived." His mono tone drifting into a void of sorrow at the arrival of the last member of his quest. He was in no way sexist by any means, but he found the loss of a woman's life a horrible thing. He couldn't tell her 'no' though. He needed the help and was sitting on his last leg. With a shaky walk, he stepped out from around his counter, taking a ring of keys from the wall behind. There was a quaint jingle of metal.
He turned around, his thin hair shifting across his head. "If you want something before heading down, you should probably ask now." He seemed to mask his sadness now behind an emotionless facade, "I can't guarantee your ability to return and do so afterward."
(OOC, Sorry about it taking so long, if anyone sees me slacking, just PM me to get off my a** and do something.)

At first Zev was surprised that Elaine wasn't shocked at his abnormal behaviour, he can normally keep his demon traits on the down low, except for his appearance. After Elaine came back with more stew for him, he started to think there might be more to this girl and this house than he first thought.
Elaine came back with more stew as these thoughts filled his head, once he was about to start eating normally again he stopped and saw her staring at him as if waiting for another strange event to happen. Zev gave a small sigh and place his spoon in his bowl before looking at Elaine straight in the eye.
"You do realize it's rude to stare right?" Zev said giving a small grin showing off his sharp demonic teeth. "And also since I am guest in your home I could answer some questions if your curious..." he then gave a small chuckle at what he was thinking next "Rather than be stared at as if I have grown an extra head. I mean I have asked enough questions of you, so you have every right to ask a few of me, right?"
Zev was hoping this might help break the silence in this old, almost abandoned home, with only a few nick naks and a child left inside.
((Oh its ok i have had writers block >_< god darn it, i hate it when your brain won't function XD))

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxxThe flickering light from the fireplace clearly illuminated Elaine's blush as she adverted her eyes to the table. She was pretty embarrassed about being caught gawking at her guest like that. Just when she was about to apologize for her rudeness, he continued speaking keeping a light tone. She returned her gaze to him, but felt like he was going to pin her for staring again. “Umm..” She tried to think of a question to ask. Even though there was so many of them on the tip of her tongue, but it seemed like nothing was going to come out any time soon.
“What's your favorite food?”
xxxxxElaine couldn't believe the stupid question she had just asked. She had to say something, anything, so she just said the first thing that would escape her lips. “Ermm.. That's not right.. Umm I mean..” Her brain felt like it had just died on her. “Wait! I know! What do you do for a living?” She felt it was a much better question then before.

It took a moment for Zev to get his thoughts, since he was sacked/quit his bar-tending job earlier this evening he wasn't sure whether to mention it or not but then again the only other job he did was mercenary work which was always ranged. He saw no reason he couldn't mention both seeing one was now history to him anyway. "I was a bar-tender until earlier this evening; until i quit my job cause my boss wasn't happy about a certain situation that had taken place. But that was really only a job on the side for me. What I normally do is Mercenary work, I do just about any job as long as the price is right, and it doesn't go against my beliefs."
Now that Zev had thought about it he was quite surprised she hadn't asked about things relating to demons, whether it be about there life to how they effected others around them. But he was still going to let Elaine have a few more questions, so she might just ask that next or a little later. Zev leaded back on the couch he was sitting on rather quickly, which caused his pendent to flap about all over the place; until it got caught in his hair. This was a common occurrence for this item, not that he minded he got used to it over the years.
As he was untangling his hair from his pendent he looked towards Elaine "Any other questions on your mind?" he finally untangled it and relaxed back again the couch slower this time.

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxxElaine listened to his every word carefully. Quit? When you leave a job because the boss isn't happy with something, isn't that being fired? Elaine wondered over this as he flopped down onto the couch getting is necklace stuck in his hair. Elaine was about to go help him with untangling it, but it appeared that he had it covered. 'Maybe it happens a lot?'
xxxxxJust when Elaine was about to ask another question a crash could be heard from downstairs. Fear settled in her stomach, 'Burglars?!' Springing to her feet, she hightailed it to her room with the occasionally squeaky floorboard.
xxxxxSwinging open the door of her bedroom she grabbed her tome, and opened it to her most used spell. Elaine didn't need the tome, but it helped channel her magic better then she could on her own. She tiptoed into the hall where a doll stood waiting for Elaine.
"Marisa, how many are there?"
"Three."
"Weapons?"
"Swords, and one is a magic user."
xxxxxElaine took a deep breath, this was the second time this year she has had intruders. Last time there was only one and she had managed to injure him badly enough that he ran away. In the whole ruckus Elaine had forgotten about Zev, well.. It wouldn't hurt if one person knew her secret.

Zev heard the sudden crash from downstairs....Burglars? Really? they couldn't even of tried to be subtle about this? Most burglars would at least try to stay undetected, and try to get away scot free. Something was seriously wrong. Before Zev could even think about what to do Elaine had high-tailed it to her bedroom....did this happen alot? Zev immediately went towards his own room, and headed straight for his spear. For once he hoped his aura and appearance would help in getting these bastards to leave.
Zev came back out to the hallway almost instantly and then noticed Elaine back in the hall with the book she was carrying during there encounter, and then he noticed her speaking to a talking doll? Zev was going to ask about it but decided to save it for after they cleared out these robbers. Zev got at the ready and gave Elaine a nod showing he was ready to follow her lead; "Let's get these guy's out of your home huh?" he said in a whisper but also with no hesitation.

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxxElaine glanced over at Zev. She was a little sorry that he had to be here tonight, but she couldn't tell him to runaway. She had the feeling he wouldn't listen.
xxxxxNodding her head she listened carefully for footsteps. There was none.. They must be waiting for her. With her heart in her throat, she advanced down the stairs into the front room of the shop. They didn't break the window; they actually picked the front door. However, the trio did break a shelf's worth of dolls, and Elaine could feel the anger boiling inside of her.
xxxxx"Glad to see you still have it" The man in the middle spoke dressed in a red cloak. He made no move to hide his identity, the moonlight clearly illuminated his facial features, and blond hair. "..And I see you have a guest." He glanced over at Zev not really seeming to give a damn of his presence.
xxxxx"It's you again..." Elaine commented. Subconsciously she hugged the book to her chest in a defensive matter. "What do you want?" She barked, but she couldn't hide the fact that she was scared. It was obvious with the way she was trembling.
xxxxx"I want the Winters' Grimoire." He pointed to the book in her arms. "Be a good girl, and hand it over."
xxxxx"Never.." Elaine took a step back, and held the book open in left hand. Outstretching her right arm towards them, a magic circle formed in the palm of her hand. "I'll never let you have it."
xxxxxWith that being said she fired three swiftly moving beams of light towards the magic user. He managed to dodge two, but the third created a small cut on his right shoulder.
xxxxx"So be it.." He motioned to the two swordsmen. "Take the book from her, but don't kill her... Just in case."
xxxxx"What about the boy?" The two men drew their swords.
"You can kill him."
xxxxxWith that statement the two swordsmen came charging. Elaine created a magical shield, and blocked the one slash aimed to disable her movements. The other man swung at Zev with the intent of killing him.

Boy? Please...Zev had more experience that both of these louts put together. He hadn't received alot of contracts for people lately but 1) Elaine was in danger and 2) his life was on the line, just like so many experiences before. Right now he had no doubt within himself as he could see the man heading towards him had no control over his blade, as much as he might think he does.
Zev parried the man's blows with the middle of his spear he was going to end this quickly. As the man was readying another blow, Zev smacked him on the side of the head with just under the spear head. This knocked the man off balance and the landed face first on the floor. Zev then took this opportunity to release a rapid continuation of spear jabs at the man's back, hoping this should leave him injured enough while he decided on a finishing blow.

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxxElaine was worried about Zev, as she blocked the man's moves she glanced over at him relieved to see that he was fine. It was clear to her that Zev could handle himself; he did fight for a living.
xxxxxThe young girl pushed her barrier forward causing the man to stagger backwards giving her ample time to cast Arch-Angle's Fury. Three beams came out of her palm, and two cut hit the man on the sides of his abdomen. The third missed. He slouched onto the ground with his shirt becoming stained with blood. Elaine couldn't bring herself to hurt him anymore -- He couldn't fight properly in his condition anyways.
xxxxxThen a sharp pain hit Elaine in her left arm. A thin piece of metal stuck out from the skin. The magic-user must have thrown it, but why a needle? Moving her hand to rip it out, she quickly found out that she was starting to lose her ability to move. Collapsing onto the ground she tried to move her arms, legs, anything, but nothing was cooperating. She was paralyzed!
xxxxxThe magic-user smiled at seeing her helplessly laying there. Then his expression changed into one of disgust as he looked at the two hired hands already beaten. "Some help you guys were.. Well, I guess I have no need for you." The blond threw two more needles at them, but they weren't going to paralyze them. "Just sleep.. Forever." Looking into his pouch he was a little sad to see that he had no more left for Zev.
xxxxxHe spoke with a twisted grin, "Sorry boy, looks like you're gonna have to die by my hands. Which do you prefer? Quick and painless? Or slow and horrible?"

Zev heart started to race as he saw Elaine collapse onto the ground. Was she alright? Was Elaine going to recover from this? As he was about to head over to her to see if she was alright he heard the leader speaking to him. Zev started to have a smile grow on his face "I hate to tell you this, but neither work for me. You have just attacked a young girl who has done nothing to you. How do you think you possibly have the right!?" Zev readied his spear, he wasn't going to attack right now. He needed to find out how this guy fought and then find a weakness to use to his advantage. But if things got really out of hand, this guy wouldn't be leaving alive.

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxx"Relax-" The magic-user didn't appear to be phased by Zev's anger "-I only paralyzed her."
The blond then formed a light blue magic circle in front of him. A dozen of shards of sharp ice flew at Zev as the man watched with an amused smirk. He appeared to be enjoying this.

~s**t, a magic user i'm not used to fighting one of those~ Zev did the first thing that came to mind and that was start spinning his spear in a circle in front of him as fast as he could so the ice would deflect and not hit him. Good thing his spear was one of the longer makes. Just as the ice was about to stop hurdling towards him, he ducked down a rolled along the ground closer to the man.
Zev was going to attempt to stand back up right a good a good hit in the chest, vital or not it might be enough. At least that's what he was hoping anyway.

×Єlaiɳε Wiɳʈεʀs× ×¨°o•O × O•o°¨× ╔══════════════╗ xxxxxThe blond frowned as Zev deflected his ice. Maybe this pipsqueak was stronger then he had assumed? Quickly moving to his left he managed to escape a fatal wound, but received a cut on his right arm.
xxxxx"You b*****d." He growled. Forming a hammer out of ice he made a swing for Zev's head.

Zev saw the hammer aiming for his head a tried to avoid it the best he could but it clipped him just above his left eye, a bit of blood was coming out but not alot seeing the item was made out of ice. Which would keep the wound slightly closed until later. Zev needed to make sure this b*****d didn't get Elaine's book, she would be devastated.
Zev leaped backwards from his attacker, he looked behind himself for a moment to see if Elaine had moved at all. Sadly not, but then he just gave a grin at the blond and knew exactly what to do. "What's the matter? Your hurt just by a little cut. Please; what you have just done is nothing compared to the wild animals I need to take care of sometimes" Zev hoped this would work but it was risky, cause it could backfire on him, he just hoped the blondes response would be the one he wants.
