Deimos walked to the cat and picked him up. He knew how to carry a bay, he had to carry hsi younger brother all the time. "Make even a scratch and I'll burn you.." He whispered threateningly as they walked away from Chin, starting down the stairs.

Tensing at the touch of his most hated enemies' hands, it was hard not to go into attack mode. Deimos was evil enough to do what he said. Maybe he could give the lion time to run away before it was toasted...no, he'd probably sacrifice it and save himself. It was an evil guardian, so it'd escape just fine.
Still, he growled and hissed and generally tried to make things miserable for Deimos the best he could.

Once they got below, Deimos let Sabriel down, but his hand remained close, moving until it grasped the Lion's head tightly. His eyes flared. "I made you part of my crew, and you betrayed me.. I should punish you for that." He growled, his hand noticably ehating up slowly, though no sparks or fire appeared.

Sabriel cracked his tails against the floor, looking intensely hateful of Deimos. He wasn't going to give up the lion. And Deimos was the traitor! He'd been on Jizzy's side, and tried to get the bear for her! He didn't want stupid Zir any more.
But he couldn't say that. He tugged on the lion hard, trying to pull it free; he could actually feel the heat on his paws when they got close to Deimos' hand. The fiend was trying to burn up his lion!

Deimos' eyes narrowed as Sabriel didn't let go. "You were good too. Got it away from Mother. Why.. why did you keep Zir?" He asked, the heat growing steadily, though it was yet not hot enough to burn the lion.

Okay. If he wasn't going to let go...Sabriel concentrated on the question, though he still kept a vain hope Deimos would give up the lion. "j**!" he tried. That HAD to explain it. The evil Jizzy was behind it all.

Mother? His mind tried to find a logical reason that Sabriel was crying out Mother's name. "Mother never got Zir. She stopped trying after we beat her. Zir's mine, not anyone elses." He said, hoping this would clear things up, though he wasn;t sure what the cat meant, and he didn;t elt go of the lion, though the heat decreased a bit.

The lessened heat was a relief. After they beat her? But...that didn't make any sense, since Deimos was on her orders to get it.
He just looked at Dei, very confused.

Deimos arched another eyebrow at Sabriel's confused face. "They got some other bear for thier dumb zoo. I don't give Zir away to anyone, especially not for some zoo. He;s a pirate, he doens;t go in a cage." He lessened his grip. He didn't belive Sabriel to be that good an actor to have that face of confusion.

Now that he knew Zir was a guardian, Sabriel thought they'd have a lot of trouble keeping a pirate bear in a block zoo. Deimos was probably telling the truth. It wasn't worth the indignity to actually say that, but if he ever wanted to see daylight again...
...mean Deimos.
Sabriel's ears fell back and he looked anywhere but at Dei. "Kay." he muttered, so low it was hardly hearable.

Deimos finally released his grasp on the lion, feeling triumphant again. "I don't think they'd be able to put that lion of yours in a zoo either. He looks tought." Deimos said, lookign around before going down and lifting Sabriel up again. "I'd take care of him though. Who knows when enemy pirates will attack." He said, starting back up. Keep your enemies closer, his mind recited. He hadn;t forgivne him quite yet, but, why have enemies when you could have allies...

Sabriel almost fell over when Deimos let go, but just as quickly found himself scooped up. The compliments made him feel a bit proud. Nope! His lion would probably eat all of the other animals, then run out of the zoo and beat up panthers - or pirates, whatever.
It was okay if Deimos hadn't exactly forgiven him; they were even, then.
Chin was dozing when they came back up, looking out over the dark lake with her head in her hands. The noise from the steps made her start - turning, she saw Deimos and Sabriel come up on the deck. Neither of them looked like they'd been injured. And the lion was thankfully intact.
"How'd it go?" she asked lightly.

"Good enough.." Deimos replied, handing Sabriel back to his mother. He glanced at the lion again and smirked. "Be careful with that lion, Sabriel." He said teasingly, a spark and a flickering falme appering in his hand. "I may change my mind about being so nice if you aren't..."

Sabriel scrambled up to his usual post, hooking the lion in Chin's scarf. Figuring it was safe, he leaned over and stuck out his tongue. Tradition. He then sat back, pleased.
"Hear that, up there? I'm glad to hear that, though." Chinchillie was surprised by the change, just knowing there was a story in this. She held out a hand to Deimos. "Thanks a lot for showing us the ship...and good luck with your practicing. I think we'd better head back." she said apologetically. "It's been a long day."

Deimos extinguished the flame and shook CHin's hand. "No troubles, Ms. Chin." He siad simply and smirked at Sabriel, before turning around. He had things to sort out below deck. Had to get ready for spring, when he'd truly sail somewhere far.
