Welcome to Gaia! ::

The cold tone didn’t bother him as he soon was facing Gambler, the only thing moving from the mountain of a man being his brown eyes. He sighed softly, opening his mouth to open before he closed his eyes, frowning a bit before snapping them open, his voice commanding; the way it should be. “Edward, Cassandra, stop hiding.” There was a snicker as the demon from before soon was visible, leaning against the wall nearest the door, Cassandra simply walking in, a neutral look on her face, “Killed?” She raised a brow but soon fell silent, bowing her head from a look from Raul. “Silence, Cassandra.” “Of course… my apologies.”

He soon was sighing softly before looking over at Gambler, but then back at Edward as he noticed that the demon’s eyes were on the woman. “Edward?” The blonde simply continued to have that amused smile on his lips, “I remember you…” But he said nothing more, keeping back as he watched them. Rave sat down beside Eldin, the smaller elf in between the older ones, looking from the three for hires and Gambler, frowning. He respected Raul, but the other two? He didn’t like them. At all. But, maybe there was something about him that they didn’t know? He didn’t know, but he knew that Dusk had said that they were hard to deal with sometimes, but were efficient and wouldn’t bug them about what all was going on, though Edward would be curious.

Laughing some, Edward wasn’t even chuckling but completely laughing; head thrown back just a bit as he grinned widely, “Quite a bit… I noticed that you went on a bit of a killing spree there for a moment… My little pet decided to get up and move to save his companions.” He pouted some, arms crossed over his leather jacket, shaking his head, “Such a shame…” But there was humor in his eyes, something that stood out completely from his collected ‘leader’ and the bitchy woman beside him.

“Now… Seeing as you said your emotions weren’t going to get in the way… Why did Dusky call us in, anyway?” He raised a brow, tilting his head to the side so that the blonde hair was moving perfectly. Kalore twitched a bit before looking over at Rave, raising a brow while the man simply watched Cassandra. Was it just him, or was she looking a bit more… healthy? He frowned a bit, watching as she glanced over at him and his eyes widened just a fraction. The eyes were green… but hadn’t they been blue before?

Edward had actually ignored Monty, even though he knew exactly who the son from Hell was. Now that his attention was to the redhead, a broad grin was on his face that made even Cassandra look just a bit uncomfortable. He was a lesser demon, but he was a lesser demon that had a high level power. All he had to do with tick someone off so that they grabbed him… And no one would know that he had that ability. Even Gambler probably wouldn’t know the full extent because she had one- been so upset, and two-hadn’t seen the effects of it.

“Hmm? Is something wrong?” He blinked some, almost looking innocent. A comment was forming about the banished prince, but he was grabbed by his hair, hissing in pain while Raul brought him to him. Speaking in French, the man ordered him to hold his tongue and be silent. Looking back at Cassandra, he nodded to the now green eyed, healthy - - almost beautiful - - looking woman. “Take him, now, before he gets killed.” She nodded, soon keeping a hold on the other’s jacket, almost talon like nails able to latch onto the fabric of his jacket.

Eyes narrowing, Rave sighed softly, shaking his head, “Gambler… Just, please, explain what you wish to explain…” He didn’t know what it was that Edward was about to say, but he was thankful that Cassandra really did have some elegance to her in following the orders, and he respected Raul enough for now. But… Examining Cassandra, he frowned more, watching as it seemed like the nail polish that was on her fingers was changing color, glancing over at Kalore to find him doing the same thing. Maybe they had overlooked the woman? She could do something interesting…

None of the three newcomers seemed to have any problems with what it was that the other was saying. There was no surprise on what it was that they were going up against, and even that annoying smile of Edward’s stayed put. It was obvious that very little could surprise these three. “We can do that.” The demon looked almost giddy to be able to do something that entertaining. Raul simply nodded, sighing softly as his look never faltered once. “Which would you like us to do first, Miss Gambler?”

He continued to watch the woman, simply blinking slowly. Finding the Hunters wouldn’t be too hard, but finding Rogues was a bit different. It was still doable, but it was going to be annoying as hell to be able to do that properly. Sighing softly, he nodded to Cassandra who let go Edward, soon looking at her now black nails, blinking slowly before looking up at the only other woman in the room. The woman was now, somehow with the subtle changes, a stunning woman with eyes almost identical to Kalore’s but with the skin tone of Rave.

“I can go out now, if there’s nothing else that needs to be said.” Blinking slowly,, even her voice had changed to an almost hypnotically beautiful tone. Even most shifters couldn’t change so subtly without anyone noticing. Kalore had been watching, his eyes widening just a bit, shaking his head soon, trying to figure out just what it was that the other was.

Cassandra raised a brow at the other, “Ah… No wonder Dusk gets along with you… No manners seems to need to find something that matches it…” Blinking slowly, she wasn’t affected this time by Raul. The woman had stayed silent and didn’t do anything to bother the other, so if he was going to be an a** then he had better expect some retribution. She didn’t get along with Dusk, anyway. As a partner, Cassandra could tolerate the woman, but other than that they never went near one another.

“Cassandra…” Raul frowned, but he had to admit that Kyoshi deserved any comment that went his way, and it looked like Rave seemed to agree with him. With another sigh it wasn’t long before he was watching Edward instead, the two speaking softly in French while they sat down on the remaining couch, away from the others. The demon didn’t want to be there, but the tamer kept him in line.

Rave soon was watching him, “What are you?” Watching Raul, he frowned a bit before gesturing to Cassandra, “What is she? I know what the demon is, though there’s something off… but what are you two?” Seeing as there had been no other orders, then there wasn’t much that they could do. But hearing the information about Kae made getting the last three hunters decently easy… Then they just had to deal with the Rogues and Kyin.

Lovely.

Eldin looked shocked as he soon was scrambling a bit, moving so that he would be in the kitchen, his eyes a bit wide while watching the woman. He blinked a few more times as Rave sighed, nodding to the others. He knew that this was going to be… well… difficult. He didn’t know how it was that things were going to be, but while the other three entered as well, Rave noticed how crowded the place was.

Sighing softly, he was simply standing near Gambler, glancing over at her, whispering softly for her to just calm down a bit, gently touching her shoulder. He knew that she had every right to be upset, but at the same time… A clear head in front of others was needed. That way things could get over with quickly and then she could break down in front of friends. He didn’t even glance as Kalore was in the room, standing away from the others. It wasn’t anything personal, but that was just how the elf tended to be. He liked to be able to see everything. Rave didn’t think that that would ever leave his nature.

Raul was in the room, in between Cassandra and Edward, able to grab either one if needed, but was watching the woman with that same calm look that everyone got from him. “Then… What do you need us to do, Miss Gambler?” They didn’t ask questions on why something was done or anything, because they weren’t getting paid for that. Hell, they weren’t even getting paid at the moment… only if they actually helped. That tended to be how Raul worked when dealing with Dusk.

Listening to the orders, he hummed softly as he thought about that. “There’s only three left, and the leader… Edward, didn’t you play with one of the Hunters a few days ago?” He glanced over at the male demon, watching as the smile turned into a grin. “Kae, yeah… I think that I can follow him…” He snickered a bit before looking at Kalore, noticing a resemblance to someone that he knew had something to do with this… as the grin widened, he simply snickered as the elf narrowed his eyes. “I don’t like you…” Muttering his words in Elvish, it wasn’t long before he was watching both of them.

Edward continued to smile, “I think it’s best if I go track him down now, hmm?” He started to head out and Raul didn’t stop him as the large man nodded to Gambler. “We will do that and it will be done quickly and efficiently.” When the woman told him to call her Gambler, Raul ended up chuckling softly; the deep rumble spine tingling. “And call me Raul. I don’t know if we introduced Cassandra,” The woman nodded, “And the other is Edward.”

Raul shook his head, “No. We only need to know enough so that we know how to handle this mission. If there’s anything that you’re keeping from us that might bite us in the a**, though… I would like to know it so that neither of them gets harmed.” They were both hard as hell to kill, though, but that didn’t mean that Raul wasn’t going to work like hell to make sure that they were okay. Edward and Cassandra were his, and they were under his guard, in a way.

Glancing around, it wasn’t long before Edward was in one of the clubs near where Lech had found the first of the Hunters. He was humming along with the music, a sight that was definitely perfect to see as he was grinning just a bit more, shaking his head some. Moving over to get to the young teenager, he grinned at the boy who was moving out of the back room. “Is that where everyone is?” The elf’s eyes widened and he sprinted. Edward let him. Throwing back his head to laugh, it wasn’t long before he was slowly prowling after the young Hunter. Kae was fast. He was fast and he was powerful. But he was young and inexperienced. That there would quite possibly cost him everything and more.
