".....hm." Azazel mumbled.

"Well, he doesn't seem the type to lie about something like that, from what little I've seen." he told her. "Seems like a straightforward, earnest young man." he commented further.

"Which makes his statement even more worrying." he said.

"However, I sense darkness in him." he then continued.

"I'm sure you sense it too." he commented.

"Not 'evil', but... darkness." he sighed.

"That kid's strong. Perhaps stronger than he's aware of."

Azazel just sighed.

"It's hard work." he said.

"But the reputation is worth it." he reasoned.

"Now... for your questions..." he went on.

"One. I think so. Things get left here all the time, I should have some mismatched clothing for him." he told her.

"And two, you can stay here as long as you like. You know that." he then assured her.

"I'll do all I can to help both you AND him."

When she went downstairs, she found Azazel (literally) tossing out a particularly drunken patron. Which was impressing, seeing as the man was about a foot and a half taller than Az, and looked to weigh twice as much,

"AND STAY OUT, UNTIL YOU LEARN RESPECT!" he yelled.

"Damned degenerate!" he added, before slamming the door.

He then sighed, and looked over, seeing Rylie.

"Ah, sorry about that." he apologised.

"Some people just refuse to learn." he told her.

"Anyway, what's up?" he asked.

Aly nodded.

"All right." she replied.

She then got out of the bed, and made her way to the door.

"I'll make up some breakfast for you." she told him with a smile.

"See you downstairs, love." she finished, blowing him a kiss, and disappearing out of sight.

"....thank you, Miss Rylie." Ash responded.

He then yawned again.

No sooner had he actually laid down on the bed, he was asleep.

Out cold.

He didn't even bother to crawl under the blankets, he was just asleep.

And she could see that he felt safe here, which was something... especially seeing as his body really did look emaciated.

Ash's eyes widened.

"A... a bed?" he asked.

"A... real bed? I can sleep in one of them?" he asked further.

Rylie just nodded.

Ash then made his way to one of them and climbed on it... and as soon as he did so, she could see the wave of tiredness washing over him.

It was clear he was sleep-deprived, and it was catching up to him.

"...I am very tired..." he commented, letting out a big yawn.

"....ah..." Ash stammered.

"Well... yeah..." he admitted.

"Been a bit since I slept." he said.

"I mean, I've napped here and there." he went on.

"...but nothing too long..." he said further.

"And... a room?" he asked.

"Like, with some comfy scraps to sleep on and such?" he asked further.

"That sounds good." he said with another smile.

"......" Ash was silent, before sighing.

He then followed her back to the table, where she saw almost everything was gone, except for a little bit of drink.

"He wasn't nice." he said to her.

"He seemed mean." he went on.

"...." he was then silent again, before sighing.

"Did... I do a bad thing?" he asked her.

"Should... should I have just stayed away?"

"Come on, baby." the man said.

"Give a little funtime, eh?" he asked.

"...excuse me." a small voice said, coming from Ash... who was suddenly there, having noticed this happen.

"She doesn't seem to like you." he commented.

"Please let her go." he said.

"Shove off, runt!" the man spat, pulling Rylie closer again.

"....I said let her go." Ash repeated, his tone now having an ominous darkness to it, and Rylie could almost see a faint dark aura forming around him.

Azazel just smiled.

"Hey, those like us gotta stick together." he said.

"I'm happy to help in whatever way I can." he told her.

"Anyway, now that you're dressed again, I suppose you ought to go back up and check on the boy." he suggested.

"I'll get the room ready for the two of you." he went on.

He then paused for a moment.

"Feel free to grab any supplies you think you might need. Just tell me what you grabbed later." he then added.

"See you in a few." he finished, before heading out to get the room ready.

Az just nodded.

"Sure thing." he said.

He then started to do up her corset, making sure it was tight enough, but not too tight. He wanted her comfortable, after all.

"You want one of the larger rooms?" he asked.

"Which is to say, want to share a room with him, or separate rooms?" he clarified.

"I can do both." he assured her.

"The room by the one that's reserved for you is open." he continued.

"Or I can give you one the larger ones I have here."

Aly returned the kiss.

"It's all right." she replied.

"And he should be downstairs." she told him.

"...either that, or he's on the roof. One of the two." she said further.

"He'd been sitting here for a while, looking over you, but I told him he needed to also make sure his lady friend knew he was all right as well." she then explained.

"I can go get him for you." she offered.

"Hmmmm. Az muttered.

"I see." he said, as he was beckoned over to help her, specifically with her corset.

"Well, if they did, they don't know what they're dealing with." he chuckled.

"You know as well as I do that I can deal with that." he said.

"But I'll relay the info as soon as I can." he continued.

"I won't mention the kid yet." he then added.

"Not until we know what his full deal is."

"Of course." Az replied.

"Usual payment." he said.

"You got info for me to relay?" he asked her.

That was their deal. She travelled, gathered info, and gave it to him. In return, he took it to those that could use it in positions of authority, and she got to stay for a while.

"Anything at all." he said.
