The demon found himself a little lost for words all of a sudden. It was a pretty heavy situation once the full extent of it could be seen in the light of day. It sounded even worse when the consequences for family and what probably amounted to treason came up. The whole thing really was more complicated than it had seemed when he was nearly half-asleep earlier. "I...I'm sure we can come up with a better plan. There has to be a way to get through this without giving either side here the wrong idea, right? W-we just have to think carefully about what we say for the next few days." He tried not to sound too bothered, but he could tell that at least some of the turmoil slowly mounting in his head was probably finding its way out somehow. He couldn't really help feeling at least a little guilty for what was going on, either. After all, none of this would have even come up if he had been able to finish his job himself.
Or if he were dead, which he had honestly been expecting a little more. The fact that he was able to worry about this today proved that ship had sailed, though.
After another minute of thinking, he was about to stop to suggest that they pick up after eating when another thought hit him.
"...Why don't I say that we were interrupted?"
The boy shifted his position and placed a hand to his chin, trying to follow the train of thought as far down the track as he could before he lost it. "It's probably not the most ethical thing to do, but technically, there was a breach in security while we were distracted before. We could always use that to our advantage. If someone else got in the way, it's not like either of us really failed, right? Just delayed the inevitable." It probably wasn't the most concrete idea yet, but if there was something in there that could work, he wanted to figure it out. Turning back to Wrenna, he gave a slightly more hopeful look. "There wasn't a time limit on this, was there?"
