Azrael replied to Hope.
"I don't take 'sides'."
Azrael then turned to Leiana.
"Tell us where to find this... Demon, and we will take care of him, rest assured. Forgive us if we choose not to go right away though, for we've still got to sort out the mess outside our headquarters."

"Most demons possess fireballs. Several possess telepathy. It doesn't really narrow it down. If only you'd seen him in his true form, it may have given us an edge-" Cindy stopped, thinking to herself.
"I'll see what I can learn about Devil's Advocates. There's bound to be a hint or two lying there. If we can find out who he is, we can find out how to kill him. Every demon has some weakness."

"Every THING has weaknesses. As hard as obstacles come, we've never come acroos anything 'invincible'. Thank goodness for that," Azrael chuckled.

"Nothing's invincible, but this is as close to it as you can get. If I could give you some piece of advice," she paused. "Probably cannot, but I don't care. What I was saying is that you seriously should not overestimate your powers. You're more vulnerable than he is, even with the whole Circle's power put together. And do you even pay attention?" She asked Azrael. "I told you, he's head of the Devil's Advocates. This may seem crazy and all, but I'm guessing that he's maybe at the Advocates' headquarters. Y'know. Wild guess."

"I never overestimate my abilities, but if there's something I can do to come in the way of a threat to others lives, even if it costs my own life, don't hold it against me if I take the opportunity."

"If you're so big on saving lives you should maybe care that with a plan you'd probably save even more." She shrugged. "Just sayin'."

"A plan would be easier with research." Cindy offered. "I can help there. I have quite an extensive library for this subject. I mean, this man is a demon, but he could just be a left over grunt from the war." She explained, before gesturing to Hope. "An inexpierenced slayer would still be suprised by his strength and abilities, but he wouldn't actually be much of a threat."
Cindy paused, considering.
"Of course, he could be one of the President's left over Generals, in which case he might be more dangerous. Some of those demons were pretty powerful. That's how they nearly took over the world!"

Azrael tried so hard not to laugh at Hope's comment to him, but his face showed his struggle.
You weren't listening to me were you? You have no idea, Azrael thought to himself.
As far as he had remembered he had beaten many foes with greater skill than himself, just by fooling them. He was very capable of make rational decisions and coming up with plans/strategies that are to the point.
Azrael decided not to reply though, 'cos from Hope's reply, he realised that arguing was useless. If he kept it up, he was sure that Hope would just keep throwing empty insults at him as she had already done.
I'll try hard not to 'accidentally' kill you if you're around the next time I fight.
Azrael put his sword away and turned to Owlet.
"Austin's taking his time."

"An inexperienced slayer?" Hope laughed. "Oh well, you'll all see eventually. He's going to kick your asses, just like that." She snapped her fingers and smiled.
"And really, how much as I'd like that to be an insult, it's not. You're strong from what I've heard, but he's stronger. And he seemed quite smart, to me - but what can a stupid slayer say about that?" She shrugged. "To me it seems that his only weakness is arrogance. You could use that."

Azrael smiled to himself.
Always a common weakness...
"If he can beat us with the click of his fingers, we simply don't attack him head on."
Azrael turned to Cindy.
"We could use your help."

"Then I'll help." Cindy smiled, particularly at Hope's reaction at being called 'inexpierenced'.
That was fun.
"I live just outside of town, my library is part of my house there. You're welcome to visit. I should be able to investigate this at least."
She didn't like to admit it, Hope may be right. "If it is one of the generals, we can't underestimate him. A generic demon can be taken care of, but the generals were almost as powerful as the President himself. We should be careful."

"We should always be careful. When our leader arrives, I'll introduce you to him. He may invite you to our headquarters."
Azrael started on his second pint of milk.

"Thanks. I hope he gets here soon though..." Cindy thought hopefully, accidently speaking it aloud. She still felt very out of place and uncomfortable in the bar, and just wanted to go home.
Especially if her car was going to get broken again.
"Ahem. Surely you must have research material of your own, though?"

At that moment Austin walked through the door with Ara close behind, he took a seat, leaving a spare one next to him for Ara "evening all, i hope you've left me a beer" he half smiled

Cindy turned, and folded her arms cautiously. "Evening." She said simply.
"Are you the leader of the circle?" Cindy asked, waiting for any sign. She thought back to her study.
Austin Darkora. Hero of the Demon War.
She had thought the Circle were a rumour, but clearly they were real. Did that mean the rest of the rumours were true? Austin Darkora led them?
That was just...
...incredible.
