Asriel was silent as she looked toward the direction of the signatures.

"What the fuck happened?" She asked, concern to her voice, features.

"Because seriously. This is alarming. More than a little." She added. "Gabe, go get the medkit. I get the feeling we might need that."

Asriel was silent for a moment before sighing, heavily.

"And there's foreign mana. L" she commented.

"but something knocked an arch angel out. This is not good. That's almost impossible to do."

"I... did not even know that this was a possible thing that could happen." Asriel admitted.

"I know it wouldn't be good for us to interfere, but I had no idea this could happen." She added.

"That damned contract is giving her way too much power." There was definitely ire to her voice, but it was overshadowed by the concern.

"And we can't do anything."

Asriel was silent for a moment before sighing, heavily.

".... All we can do for the moment... is just try and keep her alive." She said, referring to Sariel.

"Because we don't know what the mana will do to her, what it has done to her.' She continued. "... is she even going to be the woman we know when she wakes? If she wakes?" It wasn't hard to tell that she was a bit on the concerned side for her sister, but also that she couldn't deny the possibilities of what she, at least, feared would come to pass, but also that it wouldn't.

As it stood, she wasn't sure what would happen, but wouldn't shut the door on any possibility without due diligence in the research.

"Been awhile since I've heard mention of them." Asriel commented. "It's usually the other side we hear about."

"However, that is... alarming." She added, looking to be thinking about it for a moment.

"Considering the fact that she's quite.... well, they are rather violent, moreso than the other side."

"Oh probably." Asriel agreed.

"But nothing we can do about that, unfortunately." She added.

"I really do hope that you two," She looked between Uriel and Gabriel, "are immune though. It really wouldn't do well to have either of you fall victim."

"All we do know is that it seemed the elf is involved. Beyond that, we will have to look." Asriel commented.

"However, in doing so, we might find more than we actually want." She added. "Or run into problems. I don't know if looking into it will count as interfering."

She was silent as she waited in the hall outside his office. She didn't really have much in terms of thoughts or perceptions of anything as she had before. She was just... doing as she was told.

It was going on 5pm, and she'd been told to be there for 5 every day, as she had been. She was reliably there, without fail, usualyl early. She knew that he was finishing up an appointment, as he often was, and knew that she was to just wait.

So she stood there, waiting.

Hazel nodded.

"Yes." She answered. There was something about her voice that was different, but it wasn't hard to guess that it was just ... the reason she was there, was coming in strong. She wasn't unknown to be there regularly at points for various reasons.

"We have a daily routine for the moment." She added, not giving any more information. If anyone asked, she'd say that they had the plans to keep her as the last appoibntment because of how long it takes sometimes. It was the best way for the schedule to not end up screwing up.

Hazel was silent as she stepped up to the door, completely ignoring the other person, seeming ot be completely unaware of his presence suddenly.

She entered the office, Bast closed the door. She stopped where she was, a few paces into the room. He stepped up to her.

"You're such a good girl, aren't you?" Bast asked, his voice echoing within her head. It didn't take any effort at all for him to realise that she was in pain, pretty serious pain at that, but he didn't find himself caring much at all for the moment. He grabbed her by the chin, forcing him to look at him.

"You're gorgeous, too." He said, although if someone overheard it, it would be hard to tell if he was sincere, or just saying it to get what he wanted. Her storm cloud eyes seemed to be unfocused, but he knew she could see him, and see him clearly. Hell, it was largely the only thing she could probably see at this point. It seemed that anytime they were close, his hold on her ended up stronger than he'd ever experienced before. It was without his consent either. With him not holding his mana down like he normally did, it reached out as it wanted to.

And it ensnared Hazel so easily, Bast couldn't help but thing it was meant to be that way. She was born ... or maybe sculpted... strictly to be a sub. Her mana seemed to be relaxed and nowhere near as defensive as normal, as well. Which was something that normally he'd find concerning, but now? As he was? Not so much.

Hazel was silent as Bast said all he did. When he asked if she agreed, she didn't answer outright, specifically, a yes or no. Her response was as clear as an outright yes though.

"I suggest Kiah." She stated.

"She is often stressed, it would be a break, and you've expressed the desire for her in the past." She sounded convincingly normal, but he could pinpoint the element of control that was there. That he'd put there.

"Or Robyn." She added.

"Set her on a shelf. Keep her as a prize."
