"I have people looking, but I don't expect to find anything and I don't know what would happen to me if Deimos were to die. For all I know, I might die as well." He sighed and shrugge, his hand moving to it was atop her and he squeezed it.
"SOmetimes I woudl have rather died than have to go on like this.. A second rate spirit taking residence in a body that isn't my own.."

"No offense, but I doubt Dei's finding it a barrel of laughs, either," she remarked dryly, though she made no move to remove her hand.
"If I could help you, though, I probably would. Just for the heck of it, really."
Realizing she was stuck, Lenore thought on what Erebus had mentioned about his age.
"And aren't you a little too old to get so up close with a five month old?" she asked, cocking an eyebrow sardonically.

"Aren't you a little young to be kissing a master demon?" He retorted quickly, smirking in satisfaction, keeping a rather stern hold on her hand. Erebus was in a terribly good mood. He'd gotten kissed, gotten to be out for a long time, and Deimos hadn't spoken a word since the kiss. This was turning out to eb a lovely day.

"Oh, ouch," Lenore snerked, smirking back.
I wonder what Dei's making of all this? He's probably going to gut me once he comes back...
"What is it that you do all day while Captain's busy? Sing "99 Bottles of Rootbeer" on a loop?" she asked. She was having a better conversation with Erebus than she'd expected - it was fun to tease him.

Erebus chuckled half-heartedly, but shook his head, his face darkening. "There is someone I need to get back at.. as soon as possible.. I spend lots of my time planning my revenge.." He siad, and his eyes glinted with malice. He wanted to see that angel squirm before he killed him.

Manuevering her hand free, Lenore cracked her knuckles thoughtlessly and rested her chin on a fist.
"Is...is Dei still there? Or does he just...I dunno, go to sleep or something?"
Not that Erebus didn't interest her - heavens, no. But, she had a terribly irking feeling that the kiss she'd traded for information wasn't going to sit well with him...

"I think he's giving me the silent treatment. I can feel him here, but he doens't even think loud enough for me to hear." Erebus said, smirking as if this made him inmensely please.

Lenore winced. He was probably going to give her a lot worse, sooner or later.
"Oh. Well."
Getting a bit tired of trying to think of something to ask or say, she gave Erebus the up and down before speaking again.
"Is he mad?"

Erebus smirked widely adn nodded. "Very. If he keeps this up, I may just get to stay outside." He said, very pleased with himself. "Imagine, I may get to keep the body.." He said whsitfully, though he knew this was farfetched.

Knowing full well what Deimos was so angry about, Lenore jumped up.
"Don't count on it. He's...oh..."
She shook her head, unable to continue her retort.
"Well, chatting's been lovely, thanks for the info. You should go now," she mumbled, ducking her head down in embarrassment.

Erebus face fell and he sighed. "ALright.. I'll call him.." He muttered, closing his eyes. It had been good while it had lasted. His head lolled slightly, indicating the switch, but even with Diemos in control he made no move to even glance at Lenore.

Feeling immensely relieved that Erebus had gone, but feeling sick with guilt at the same time, Lenore crouched down beside Deimos and tried to catch his eye.
"I know you saw - I'm sorry, but I wanted to know so bad..." she murmured, knowing her apology was hardly worth the air she spent to speak it.
"Dei, please, I'm sorry."

Deimos averted his gaze, his cloak bristling with silent rage. "I.." He started, but didn't even seem to find the words to express his anger. After a moment silence, his shoulder's slumped and he shrugged.
"You don't need to apologize.." He said, ice in his voice as he stood. "He told me you liked him better, I just didn't believe him. Sorry." He said.

Who in the WHAT, now?! Lenore gaped at Deimos, fighting off an absurd urge to whack him upside the head to even think something so...so....gross.
"Are you out of your bleedin' MIND?" she squawked, razor feather rattling at the offense. "HE said that? For the love of God, Captain, how could you ever believe something HE said? I mean - just- UGH. Boys." she gave a huff, crossing her arms and shaking her head in exasperation.
"Big, little, demon or angel, you're all alike. Sheesh."
Pausing in her ranting and taking a deep breath to calm herself, Lenore looked at Deimos carefully. It took every ounce of willpower she had to keep the ire out of her voice.
"Deimos, you're my first friend, my Captain, and mebbe summat more. I do NOT like Erebus more than you - I barely like 'im at all. I like you."
She gave a scoff of disbelief at the notion Dei had in his head, arching an eyebrow and frowning.

"Then why'd you kiss him, Len? You didn't have to. We could have found things out any other way. Found a book, even pummeled it out of that Aubrey woman." Deimos said, his fist shaking as he turned blazing eyes to Lenore.
"You played right into his hand, you let him use you. This was all he wanted from the start and you said it yourself. Why believe anything he says? He could have just lied to you Lenore? You can't be sure he answered anything!!" He said, his voice gradually raising.
