[b]Southern Coast of Naqah[/b]

The Nephilim Captain continued entertaining his Naqah hosts even after he had been struck by an awful wave of grief and sadness, trying to look into his counterpart's words and gestures for meaning. For a moment he was puzzled, but then it slowly became clear that his counterpart may not be the smartest soldier in the region. The Nephilim found this strangely invigorating somehow. Shifting himself, trying to sit upright, he could not be helped but to be angered by this.

"What does it look like!?" The Nephilim bellowed, waving a hand over the harpoon stuck in his shoulders and the numerous cuts and stabs that had gotten past his armour when it eventually broke from the strikes of a hundred human weapons. The rage had given the Nephilim enough strength to attempt standing up. Grabbing hold of the railing of the ship, it tried to boost itself up, nearly succeeding in getting on his hooves when the railing, having been damaged before, broke in two, sending splinters everywhere, and the Nephilim was sent tumbling back down on its huge buttocks. "Damn the Rex-Na!!!" He screamed in pain as the tip of the harpoon that was sticking out from the back of his shoulder was caught on the railing briefly before he recoiled away.

The Succubus being carried off the galley was out of it, but had regained a little consciousness. Unable to see or hear properly, or even move much, all that registers was that she was floating, and in the warm embrace of someone. She wrapped her arms around that person's neck, putting her head on his shoulder. It felt cooling - many mainlanders were cool to the touch, though for some reason the friendlier mainlanders would regularly comment that the Daemonrexa were perpetually in a fever, or jokingly, 'in heat', which wasn't exactly far from the truth, as the freedom of Daemonrexa society ensured that sexual promiscuity was normal with abstinence considered odd, though the Daemonrexa possessed little desire to discriminate.

As the Imp was being left off, it looked up at his escort and gave a wide smile. As an imp's mouth was huge, the effect would be hard to notice.
