Silas raised an eyebrow at the demon's address, his senses here easily picking up the soft-spoken words. He hadn't anticipated anyone of the demon's nature realizing what he was- it hadn't been very long since the Sages had returned apparently from their graves. This made him curious, but he wasn't there to indulge his curiosity- he had work to do.

[color=goldenrod]"I'm surprised at how fast word travels,"[/color] he said, voice still carrying a trace of his original German accent. [color=goldenrod]"I didn't think anyone of your... persuasion would know of our return just yet. Impressive."[/color]

He raised his hand, and the facet of Pleiades he'd fired as a warning disappeared in a flurry of golden particles, before appearing with its other fellows, floating in a ring behind him. Silas took a strong step forward, as Kazfiel and Sraosha came up along either side of him, growling quietly at the demon before them. He glared hard, trying his best to look intimidating.

[color=goldenrod]"Regardless, you are trespassing here, you and all your ilk. You, and whoever your companion was who just left, must leave Barlour immediately, or you will face dire consequences. There is nothing here for you, demon- leave."[/color]

He didn't expect the demon to listen to him- they were a stubborn sort, after all- and was preparing for the first step of the battle, when there was yet another interruption. A giant... man? Whatever he was, he lumbered onto the street, looking confused, until he looked up and seemed to just realize where he was, and who he's stumbled between. Silas felt uncomfortable as the giant scrutinized him, and breathed the smallest of relieved sighs when the beast of a man turned to scrutinize the other individual.

[color=darkred]"Half-Demon?"[/color] rumbled the giant, and Silas' eyebrows shot up in surprise. A half-demon? This other was a half-demon? That was... interesting. Ultimately irrelevant, but interesting. And then the giant went on, and Silas' surprise increased.

[color=darkred]"And here I'd thought that Uriel was always telling stories."[/color]

[color=goldenrod]"What? You know Lady Uriel, then? Who are you?"[/color] Father Roderick had sent him here on the authority of the Sages, but if Paradiso had sent their own agent to look into the rifts here... well. Perhaps they could work together- he'd take any advantage that was offered.
