Nuru looked to Otto and nodded eagerly, "Yah, annehthin'..." The way Otto asked however made the barghest feel a bit concerned. Wary. But then the woman spoke again and his brows raised as his concern slowly ebbed away. Excitement was renewed. He watched the vial soar into Otto's care and continued to watch it while listening to the woman. His tail was wagging feverishly. All he could make out was a lingering chemical-like odor, she couldn't be lying. This was the stuff.
Nuru moved back over to his notebook and wrote on it the name 'Zar', the location of 'demon dorms', and the description of 'incubus demon, grey and black' then just to be sure he drew out a quick doodle of a strange creature with four horns, pointy ears, big sharp teeth, goat legs, and a massive long tail that might have been prehensile in nature... if you read into child-like doodles that much. He offered the results back to Otto.
Nuru shifted his attention back to Sam fully, courage, well, Nuru has courage. He stood a little taller and sucked in his gut a bit as he nodded eagerly at her. Trust her? He could certainly trust her! Definitely. She has helped him so far. She gave him a chance and he well... screwed it up. This was his absolute last chance. He wasn't going to jack it up again. No way.
"Yes ma'am," he tried his damndest to look beyond certain. Even with a distant lingering uncertainty that was deftly crushed under his heel. Zar was worth this.

Otto flinched before catching the vile, giving it a quick look over. Didn't this look like... no way. It really was perfume. It reeked of it too. Sam was really good at this stuff. He had to give her credit for being badass in her own prissy, bitchy way. Otto even took up the notebook with the disturbing drawing for Nuru, making like he actually understood what it was. Except he might have curled his lip subconsciously at the crudeness of the sketch.

Sam smiled a bit at the interaction. "There we go, nice and clean choices. Now everyone is happy and each of us gets what we want." She closed her cell phone by sliding the screen panel shut, refocusing her attention back to the two. "Now short stuff over there," She pointed to Otto," Will make sure to follow up as much as we can in our ability. We're a little low-key at the moment, but we work the hardest with what we have, that's how it works right? Now Nuru, can I talk to you for a second, in private?."
Instead of waiting for Otto to leave, she moved out of the room, gesturing for the barghest to follow. The door was closed, only the two of them in the hallway. She looked odd for a second, as if pondering deeply. At last, she smiled a bit again, half-laughing, in a fond sort of way. "I'm sorry, you just remind me a bit of someone I used to know. He was just like you, a hero, and he saved many, many lives. You know, it's strange and I know you're technically not one of us but I feel like you are, that I can really trust you, you know. You're just like me, just like my friend, just trying your best to save your friends and I know exactly how that feels." She leaned a little closer, pursing her lips. "I promise I'll do what I can too okay. I really believe you are different, special, and I want things to work out for you. And because of that, the small favour in return, well, I only asked because I feel like I can really, really trust you. I feel like you'd understand me if I asked."
Sam looked away, wiping at her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm just getting overemotional here, god, I'm such a wreck." Saliru Quick Nuru only tag and then otto can puppy along!

Nuru nodded at Sam before turning to offer Otto one final grateful smile. He held in his hands everything that mattered to Nuru right now. His smile shifted, he looked sad as a distant thought began to creep in. Why didn't he get to deliver it himself?
He looked back to Sam as he followed her out, a puzzled look still lingering on his face. He tilted his head as she went from all happy happy smiles and jibes to suddenly... not so happy. His floppy ears raising just a bit as she spoke. It was clear he was hanging on her every word. He even leaned in a bit, picking up on the past tense to her words. It was never easy to lose someone you care about.
He nodded. He wanted to help them, too. They had never really hurt him, or really his Zar as it turned out. They only tried to help them... he wanted to help them too - ....but different? Special? Even if he didn't immediately believe it, his tail began to wag again uncontrollably. She might as well had been going goooooooood boooooooyyyy in the most overbearingly sweet tone imaginable.
His tail stopped again and the head tilt followed as he watched her wipe at her eyes. Was she crying? He couldn't help the small whine that burbled in his throat. He nodded again, "Whatevah it is, ahll do it ma'am." His eyes widened a bit as he tried to refrain from getting too emotional himself, "Y'can trust meh."

"That's a good boy." In a seeming one-eighty of emotion, Sam made motions to pat Nuru, thought better of it, and instead gestured him to follow. They made it down to the furthest of the hall, where she took a second to unlock the room with a swipe of the card key. It was pitch black inside, with the exception of one glowing ring of light in the center. The light seemed reassuring.
"Okay, now remember our promise." She was talking to Nuru. "Go over there okay, this part needs you, right into the center of the circle, make sure you stand inside it because the ring of light will protect you. Close your eyes and be strong, I'll be back in a second, I'm just going to grab my protege. Just wait here okay we'll definitely come back for you."

Nuru's tail may have wagged even harder at that good boy comment, enough his entire back end got into the act. It only slowed again when she began to lead him down the hall and to another room. This room was unusual. Just something about it did not smell quite.... His tail fell dead. He looked back to Sam. Right, the promise. What was she going to use it for? He nodded slowly, uncertainly, but still obediently wandered inside. He went right to the center of the circle, turning in place to face back out in Sam's direction, head tilted to the side. It will protect him? What from? He drew a deep, slow, soothing breath and exhaled. Closing his eyes, but raising his ears as much as they could to listen. Be strong. Easier said than done. Nuru was shaking like a leaf. He could do this. Only a few minutes, right?...

It was just a few moments, less than five minutes. Nuru wouldn't even hear the glass or feel it until it sealed shut around him with a small click. Next was the odd humming, and then oddly enough, a strange artificial warmth, the lightest flickers of electricity that would make his hairs stand on end.
He should wait. It was just a minute. She would be back. She promised. Everyone had promised. Nuru was a hero.
A loud crack now as the white noise got stronger, joined by a high pitched shriek-
- And then a strong arc of electricity that practically impaled him. His body jolted, his limbs moved comically like a puppet without effort from its owner, and slowly his Fear began to unravel, against any protest, against his conscious thoughts, against the PAINSHOCKFEARSURPRISEWHY-
- They were coming back though. Everyone had promised.
Through the haze of loss and confusion maybe Nuru would finally see figures approaching him. His friends. He was a hero.
He just wanted to help everyone. Saliru Cleared to post Nuru's death solo/ and weapons coversion post!
