Aoba collected as many bags as he could without straining himself, and gave a small smile to James as they left. However, the male blinked and looked back to his work. The fallen angel didn't make a big deal out of it and the two were already out the door. In moments, Kuro had already homed in on his older brother. "Oh, very perceptive." He complimented and followed behind Kuro as they made their way towards Dani. Less than minutes later, both males could hear the sound of Dani's shriek. Aoba guessed it and could only assume that Dani of all people would make such a noise. He didn't have time to react because Kuro was already pulling him forward. "I hope he didn't hurt anyone." He commented quietly. "Wait, why are we-" Aoba looked as Kuro piled the bags around him and then hesitantly nodded as Kuro raced off. 

Unsure what to do while he waited for the brothers to return, Aoba decided to reorganize the pile of bags. He moved them and set them in a tight circle so he could watch them all, along with keep them out the way. He made sure the perishable items were in the more shaded area, along with making sure the fragile things were resting on top. He tried peering over the crowd, but unfortunately he was too short and too far to see. With a soft sigh, he calmly waited where he was dropped off. No one noticed him quietly waiting with bags at his side, and he was fine with that. However, in the midst of him peeking through one of the bags, his feathers ruffled a bit and a small chill went down his spine. Despite being tainted, he could still sense demons around. However his sense was dulled due to being around two demons all the time. The demon's heightened curiosity was the only thing that gave his cover away. 

Sensing the demon around was enough to make him quietly nervous, but hearing a sudden voice made him whirl around quickly. On instinct, Aoba quickly took a few steps back, though he couldn't just leave the food unattended. Aoba looked the demon over with wide eyes, much like a deer in headlights. However, unlike any deer, Aoba was prepared to fly out as quickly as possible. He may not have been fast, but flying away was better than nothing. Thankfully, flying around with Dani helped with that. It- he spoke again, but this time strangely enough. . . He didn't feel threatened or in need to scream out in panic. . . Which only scared him more. The only demons that weren't threatening to him were Kuro and Dani, so this had to be some kind of trap. He couldn't exactly stay calm, but he did try to stay brave. Instead of answering the question, he set aside his polite formalities to speak. ". . . What do you want?" 

Aoba was afraid of the answer however, and prayed that Kuro and Dani would come back soon. He puffed up a bit and frowned. "You're going to get yourself killed. You s-should go. . . I'm sure you have plenty o-of demon things you could be d-doing." Even though he tried warning the demon off, somehow it still came off as polite. . . He was going to have to work on that.

Fenrir gripped the edges of the mirror in horror. [I]'Don't stand there! You idiot! Run! Get the demon!'[/I] Never had he thought he would suggest something like that. Why on earth did Aoba decide now of all times to attempt to stand his ground! This was more stressful than having to do surgeries.

Meanwhile, Dani continued to flail, trying to remove himself from Kuro's death grip. Others around them looked worried by how angry Dani was. They were more so confused as the drunk continued to insist that there were wings on Dani and Kuro's backs. As drunk as he was, no one believed him, but it still raised questions concerning what really happened.
