Taking the ring into her possession, Kokoro decided that she would keep this proof of the contract safe. According to the spirit before her, it held her soul within such. Most sane people tend to desire items with their soul contained within to be both safe and healthy, whether it be the body or a ring. That was when it was heard. A slight rumble one might expect to hear from a hungry child or something of the like. Falling to a knee, Kokoro had remembered something rather important. She had yet to eat for the last few hours, skipping her dinner to "play" a bit in a place her family owned. Forgetting her original goal, only to be remembered due to an oppressive feeling in her stomach, Kokoro forced herself up. "I hope you don't mind if I grab something to eat first though?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ahahaha~. Splended, boy! I have not met a kindered spirit like yourself in some time," Suzu simply said to Yamato. whom of which accepted a contract without even concerning over the details of such. "You are either brazen or an idiot. Either way, you have caught my attention, boy. I want you to have this." Suzu reached into her pocket, taking out what appeared to be a wrist watch of sorts, though it appeared to radiate a certain degree of both craftsmanship and durability. "This is the symbol of the bond we now share. Make sure you take care of it, alright~. It does contain your soul, after all~." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "There is no true reason for my appearance here, Micah. Simply just checking on a few things. It is really so suspicious of me to meet with other Demonlords?" Ezekiel said in a rather straightforward, matter-of-fact sort of way. After all, Ezekiel was someone who was loyal to those he considered allies, but aside from that he acted on any way "loyalty" dictated him to act. Even those who Ezekiel considered "friendly" would be eliminated in the event that they went against a code of "loyalty". That being said, Ezekiel, though devoted, never really seemed like a popular demon in the ring. He was a decorated individual, ending conflicts quickly and with accuracy to orders, but one might say his "overzealous" personality seemed to others like an overbearing point. "Might we share a drink, the three of us? With the recent developments, I am sure you understand that communications between us higher-ups might be necessary for the prosperity of our kind in this battle. Of course, it is not as if I believe that we really have a disadvantage that would make us lose. We are the best of the best, after all." Disestablishment on the battlefield was something that Ezekiel would consider an honor to make part of. Winning a battle could turn the tides of wars; every small skirmish counted. "Of course, I am not here to steal any of your glory. That is why I state that conferences such as between us should hold importance. Would you both not agree?"
