Brutus had been listening to everything that was going on. He hadn't bothered to answer Andras' questions about the ball or his thoughts on her story. He honestly wasn't sure what to think on that. In truth, he knew very little of Andras' powers or how they worked. She'd only explained a small bit, back when she first proposed a 'Mana Contract' between them. So, as to what had transpired, he couldn't say how real or imagined it was. 

As for the ball, he'd likely be forced to go by someone or other, so it'd be less troublesome to just go.

It was at this point that Diana had entered and explained what was going on with someone called "the Fallen One". Brutus stepped forward. No way in hell was anyone gonna go after one of his friends when he had the power to stop it. As he thought on how to voice these thoughts, Brutus held up a hand, watching electricity arc back and forth across between his fingers.

[color=007fff]"Well, you certainly seem to be in better shape when I last saw you. I wouldn't have taken you for a student from Mephisto's, though."[/color] Brutus said to Diana, the barest hint of a smirk on his face. [color=007fff]"I never did thank you for that boost during the cultist attack. Without it, I feel we would have fared a lot worse. So, as thanks I shall help you. Besides, despite how troublesome she is, Andras is a valued ally. Her skills are an asset to what we do. So, count me in. I'll help however I can."[/color] 

As he finished his declaration, Brutus had to wonder when he'd started throwing himself into the thick of things he'd normally leave be. Was it during the apartment job? The cultist attack? Meh, that was an issue that could be sorted out later. He just hoped this didn't turn into a hero complex. That'd be too troublesome.
