Ashil hadn't noticed it at first, but many of those entering through the gates looked...different. At first he thought it was just the light from Utu making Evera glow, but then he noticed the wretched boy, Andrew, sprouting horns and a tail like some marketplace devil. Then came the new girl, Roxanne, who was glowing as well. Strange effect this realm had on them. 

He wasn't afforded much time to ponder it; the moment he managed to pry his thoughts off of the law god, Utu grabbed him out from his shelter. His throat closed up and his pulse picked up its rapid-fire pace as he stared point blank at the being. Ashil heard him say something, vaguely, about his duty. Extinguishing light? In part. But simple darkness wouldn't be enough. Not for Apep, and not for him. If he could have actually focused, he might have offered a defiant gaze, but instead Utu would only see wide eyes and a mouth slightly parted in disbelief. When the god let him go, and moved on to the creep, Ashil actually fell onto his rear, only to scramble back up and under the dark parasol when Taiyo too his place. 

The doors were open, and they were to be brought to their rooms. He was looking forward to that very much, anything to be away from these people after such a disastrous day. He'd had bad starts to setting his identity, but [i]this[/i]? Being shown up by Andrew, mumbling to Evera, cowering behind Mai, and to top it all off he'd practically shattered any illusions of villainy to the actual god of law. He needed time to recoup, come up with something dastardly, something to get him back on track for his victory.
