As the Slayer pondered openly at the ground, he wouldn't fail to notice the red-coat throwing him back his own shotgun. The armored marine caught the shotgun with his left arm without even looking at it, before slowly turning to face him. For now, his anger has resided into relative dormancy, but it won't certainly remain this way for long. As his armored visor peered into the fellow demon slayer's face, the artificial voice of Vega proceeded to break the silent tension.

[b][color=15f4ee]"Hello."[/color][/b] the voice spoke audibly towards Dante, [b][color=15f4ee]"I am Vega. The sentient intelligence originally assigned to Mars by the UAC. The figure that stands before you is known by UAC records and testaments recovered from Hell as "The Doom Slayer". He has allowed for me to speak upon his behalf, using his Praetor Suit as a vessel for my conscious before I may be transferred to a more suitable power source."[/color][/b]

The Slayer said nothing as he began to slowly walk back and forth, inspecting the white-haired figure cautiously. Despite this figure having allowed himself to help the Slayer with the demonic invasion, he still couldn't trust this individual completely - especially with the fact that he claimed to be a half-demon. His visor shielded most of his facial features, save for a few instances where the light hit his visor just right to reveal his stern gaze from underneath.

The large figure grunted at Eltariel's response in not being human either. Yet as he inspected her closely, he could see characteristics within her that he hadn't seen in regular humans before - such as her spear-shaped ears, her outfit, and others. While he too shared some characteristics, such as similarly shaped ears, he had never seen anyone who called themselves as an "elf", let alone have heard of such a term. 

[b][color=6ecff6]"An elf...?"[/color][/b] the beastly man wondered as he rose his head up with a muted sigh, [b][color=6ecff6]"I do not know of these "elfs" you speak of. Still..."[/color][/b]

Eltariel proceeded to thank him for saving The Silver Tower and scaring off what she believed to be a warlord and his minions. She even claimed to owe the creature everything. The creature simply grunted in indifference.

[b][color=6ecff6]"You do not need to,"[/color][/b] he modestly replied, [b][color=6ecff6]"It was merely a coincidental incident. I stumbled upon here after I heard the commotion, in which I was challenged to fight. I would've not noticed you had you not made noise that alerted me of your presence... I could've easily squashed you or flung you away by accident."[/color][/b]

He then proceeded to glance at the tower, studying its pristine walls save for the large gash near the base. 

[b][color=6ecff6]"Hmmm... you seem to value this tower more than your own life."[/color][/b] the man said as he placed his hand upon the structure, [b][color=6ecff6]"Yet you've managed to resurrect a new vessel for yourself. Does this tower allow you to achieve this?"[/color][/b]
