The demon blinked at that before the ten demons actually chuckled in amusement at the boys confusion, the dragon like demon stood and approached the other "Do not be so foolish boy, you are Elijah yes? Then I wish to see your wound, the one given to you by an angel blade, so I have a better of idea of what might be dealing with" He said simply "You seem confused...was it not you who requested this?"
"I requested it in his stead" Devin spoke softly "He has spent much of his time stationed on a barracks on earth, so he does not no much of the proceedings in order to appeal to the council, so I helped him through it" He said softly not looking Elijah in the eyes
"Ah...Devin yes? Deus's son? Yes I remember you...your father was a great man, very noble and one of our best generals" He said softy before looking back at Elijah "Please let me examine your wound...having a demon blade shattered in your skin must bring you a lot of discomfort, you have my sympathies, know what that feels like myself"

Blinking several times when the room began to rumble with a new sound, the angel felt his hand tighten where they lay clasped in his own lap; the knuckles turning white. Wait, how did they know...his name? Lips parting to ask just that, Elijah glanced over when Devin spoke instead, eyes widening slightly. Wait...they had come here for the other so why where they asking about his own..?
His left hand automatically raised to clench his right shoulder, giving away the location to the wound; getting quickly to his feet, which in turn sent the chair clattering rather loudly to the floor. Face warming slightly, the angel shook his head, shifting a bit on his feet before he spoke. "I-My wound is fine...That's not why we came. Devin!" Elijah turned and stomped his foot, before his right hand reached out to point at the demon still sitting down. "I've gotten use to the dull pain, but his wings. Please, can you do anything? I wasn't able to save them...I'll let you see if you will, at least, consider it.." Those pale eyes glanced away from the demon still sitting before he looked up at the dragon demon that was towering over them both, a light in his eyes that hadn't been there before. "Please."

Devin sighed as he got to his feet slowly as the sage looked from Elijah to Devin then back again a little confused at this obviously Devin had no mentioned anything about his own issues at all.
"I'm sorry for the confusion Lord Sage...He believes we were coming here for myself...but had other ideas" He admitted; he figured he might as well come clean, he hadn't expected Elijah to protest about this so much "Well...that explains why he forms said nothing about wings...but I may consider finding someway to help him if you let me examine your injury" The sage said gently "Just remeber that is it not my decision alone, the others here will vote to see what gets done there is no guarantee either of you will get what you wish." He said simply
"...I understand" Devin said softly

Hand slowly falling back to his side as Devin began to explain just what he had done, the angel shook his head and took a step away from the demon. "You could have at least told me your plans," Elijah whispered, eyes closing before his hands began moving again. Left hand releasing his shoulder, the limb moved to tug at the hem of the lace shirt, pulling at the sleeve until his right arm was free, his shoulder rotating slightly to help push the material around his neck to leave the shoulder bare. The suddenly new skin exposed along his stomach and upper chest was alabaster white almost in the dim lights, glowing almost; the pale flesh running with goose bumps despite the warm temperatures within the room.
"It happened about eighty-three years ago," the angel replied, left hand releasing the fabric before he clumsily tried to remove the bandage covering his shoulder with one hand. When the bandage was finally removed, the star burst of a scar shone angrily in what little light remained, the black hole from the shard escaping earlier starting to seep blood almost immediately.

"You would not have allowed it if had and you know it" Devin said simply; he felt bad for deceiving the other but honestly it was for the others won good. Te sage shifted and peered down at the star shaped wound that glowed with an angry light "...I see..." He touched the scar very gently not surprised to find the scar burnt his finger a little before he nodded "Alright you can cover up now...you boy let me see your back" He said turning his attention to Devin.
The demon nodded befor ehe stipped off hid shirt to let the other see the jagged scars there "...Your wings were not taken out in a pleasant way...the scars...you had then torn out" it wasn't a question but an observation "Hmmm...yes, I see..." He pulled away before heading back to his seat "We shall review your cases thoroughly, please wait in the waiting area until then" He said before they were dismissed.

The angel chose to ignore the other when Devin spoke again, growing very still when the dragon demon drew closer. It wasn't until the being stepped away and turned that dangerous gaze upon his friend that Elijah released the breath he didn't even know he had been holding. Taking the bandage that had been covering the wound, the angel carefully applied the stained fabric and only shrugged the lace top back on once it stayed in place.
"Th-thank you for your time," he replied in a gentle voice, left hand moving to apply slight pressure to the wound before he turned to leave the room. He didn't wait to see if Devin followed or not. Elijah just wanted out of that room. Opening the door, he hurried out, right hand casting out to make contact with the wall just outside the room after taking only a few steps. Once out of that room, the weight had lifted quite a bit from his chest, making it easier to draw breath.
Pale eyes fluttered closed for a moment as the angel's heart slowed, left hand clenching his shoulder as the moments passed by.

Devin followed him out after nodding with the council before the large doors closed behind them both and Devin;s shoulders slumped with a sigh "Never gets any easier being stuck in a room with those guys" He said softly as he took a seat and bre his legs up to his chest "You should have just stayed quiet and let him examine you you know...I can live without my wings"

Only when able to breathe evenly again did Elijah follow the other demon down the long corridor to the seats they had been in before, left hand still holding onto his shoulder lightly until he felt the wound was no longer bleeding. "As if. It's my fault in the first place you lost them. I'll not just sit by quietly if there is someone able to help. I've lived with this thing much longer than you have. Now shut it. It's already done," he grumbled, turning to face away from the other demon as the anger within him reared its ugly head.

"No its not" Devin said with a frown "Its Cain's fault I have no wings, not yours and not anyone elses" He said "Even if you COULD have spared my wings he tore them out of the joint making them useless anyway...its my body Elijah and if want to forsake my wings to help free you from Cains influence then I damned well will, thats MY choice, not yours" He said softy "...Be angry with me as much as you want, I don't care, stand by my decision to try and help you"

The angel's name caused Elijah to shudder and close his eyes, left hand tightening against his shoulder briefly before he hung his head. "Why..Why do this to yourself for my sake? You have this chance, and yet you didn't even think about it...why? Why do something like that for me? I don't understand," he whispered, shoulders shaking slightly before he turned to look over at the other demon sitting next to him. Those pale eyes were shining but his skin remained dry; he would not let them fall. "Why?"

the lesser demon was silent for a long moment as he listened to the other ask why he was doing this and he resisted the urge to sigh a but at that; he had thought the WHY was kind of obvious, but never let it be said that Elijah was the most astute of people when it came to people trying to show their affections. Rolling his shoulders a little bit he shifted over to where the other was and cupped his cheek brushing the tears away before he pressed a kiss to the others forehead before speaking in a language Elijah could not understand before he pulled back "...you want to know what said you should ask your vassal later"

Taking in a sudden breath when reached for again, Elijah stilled, free hand lifting to hold onto the demon's wrist lightly. Those pale eyes fluttered closed again when the tears were brushed away and the words were spoken, a gentle sigh escaping the still form before he felt something warm press in against his forehead. Eyes opening again, the angel tipped his head to the side, fingers still wrapped around Devin's wrist when he spoke next. "But...I'm asking you..." That pale hand tightened its grip slightly before the digits released the demon's wrist, ghosting over the exposed flesh against Devin's arm when the words were spoken.

Devin sighed at that before he leaned forward resting his forehead against the others gently "I said...because you are important to me" He said softly okay that wasn't the truth, he'd damn near confessed his love in the most demonish way possible by using the ancient demonic language because demons thought it was romantic down here "And I don't like seeing you suffer like this...if they agree to heal you you damn well better take it, understand? This will make you free from him, he might not be dead but he can't haunt you if the sage gets rid of the blades influence from your body"

Twin jewels watched as Devin leaned in, head tipping to the side before he felt the warmth against his forehead. It was the words spoken that confused him, brow furrowing slightly before the angel smiled a bit and pushed lightly with his head. "Then why didn't you just say so, silly," he teased softly, right hand reaching to touch Devin's cheek gently. "And. I will. All we can do is ask for both of us. And all they can say is no if they don't think it necessary," Elijah replied with a gentle smile. "Thank you. For doing this, I mean...I didn't think about it because I'm so use to it."

Devin smiled but it was weary and he felt bad because he had lied to the other...well he wasn't telling the whole truth at least. Nodding a little he sighed a bit "Because I'm not very good at this?" he muttered a bit before he nodded "We'll see what they say about the whole situation...and you should think about it, you can't suffer with those shards in your body all the time...its got to be maddening sometimes"
