Hane looked around the room of nobles, Humans assuming power over the winged people. Their eyes were sharp, thorns digging into Hane's confidence. He was naturally a pale boy, but more so today than any other. It was the meeting that had been sprung upon him at such short notice. Most of the words coming from Hane's mouth weren't thought over, or discussed beforehand. And so he was nervous, tense that the Queen was also present to hear all of what Hane was to say. The awkwardness had passed already, the smiles and giggles of seeing such a small young boy represent the entire Angel race was already gone from the Humans. And the Demons had left now too, good news on their part. It was now that Hane's small body was the only interest left. A noble coughed gently, even their coughing sounded so upright and self-respected. Hane resisted the urge to roll his eyes as one noble perked up.
"As you know, our worries do not rest heavily on your race, Hane. As far as we're concerned, the Angels are as trustworthy as our own, if not more. But talking about a peace between your race isn't our main problem today, it's those Demons... what is your opinion on them." Hane kept a solemn face. His opinion? A honest opinion? Demons weren't Hane's best friends, anyone who knew Hane knew why and he wasn't keen on reminding them. But he knew what was at stake today, for every race his next words were important.
"I do not trust Demons," Hane admitted, "They feed on the misery of your race, living to create misery. It's their only real function... but, saying that. I can see the faults in causing any conflict with Demons. Yes, they are responsible for the everyday distress of death and suffering. But not too long ago, Humans didn't even know Demons existed. You had no one to blame for these events, but just accept them for what they were. Just because there is a name to fit to every disaster your race faces, doesn't make it right to suddenly feel differently about these tragic occurrences." Hane looked around the faces, all randomly sorted with expressions. Hane almost smiled as his words seemed to get to them. "Yes, Angels have always locked horns with Demons, it brought about our near destruction long ago. You were all given life to make sure those events did not repeat themselves. If you were to make the opposite of peace with our races... it wouldn't end well. I do not mean to threat, but do you really think a war between the earth and sky is wise?"
---------------
Hane sighed as he walked away from the tower. Pointless meeting. His words certainly hit the Humans in a new way, but it was never enough to convince them. "Well that was as pointless as I believed it would be." Hane muttered, glancing up to the Queen. He tried smiling again, "But I'm glad to be of service your highness, now the day looks more promising, if we can locate my old student."

Sitting there next to the nobles, watching as her representative spoke, Tenshi knew she made the right choice in choosing Hane. She knew from the very start he would tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, regardless on the questions asked... And that is why she asked him. She couldn't keep the proudness of her face with every word he spoke, and she could tell those very same words made an impact, one which would remain for years to come. Following Hane out once the meeting was over, Tenshi smiled towards him and gave the other a huge hug. "I thank you Hane, your words have made a difference, I can see it already. And yes, now to go looking for dear Takeo." Giving one last smile towards Hane, Tenshi gave a look around for a mop of green hair, she herself was excited to once more see a dear friend.

After the whole Clue fiasco was dealt with, and Takeo mentally calmed himself down enough not to go after that guy and make sure he didn't go after Clue. Takeo headed off to the meeting point with his old master and the queen. It had been far too long since he last saw the two, and in a way, he was looking forward to it... He hoped that his individual training came across, because Hane was sure to want to see his skills with the sword, and make sure he still had them. Waiting around wasn't fun for Takeo, but the bottle of Booze was enough entertainment for now, he contemplated conjuring up something to make Tea... Knowing how much her majesty enjoyed such a thing... But he figured he could just conjure up a warm cup of tea in itself for when they arrived. Resting against the wall, Takeo took a long swig from the bottle, keeping an eye out for the familiar faces or rush of people over the fact the Angel queen made a rare appearance from Aura.

Hane got a few glances around before Tenshi smothered him into a hug. She'd got the habit of them now, seeing as Hane didn't mind them, so long as he could predict an upcoming hug. Hane huffed, well if the Queen thought that load of trash coming from Hane's mouth had been useful, then who was the small Angel to judge royalty? Hane gave the Queen a slight smile and nod, before looking around the busy town. It would be hard to navigate through the people, and Hane kept a hand over one of his swords, the fact that someone like the Queen of Angels was in Baransu would make people gather like flies to a light. The Queen couldn't hide her glowing aura like most Angels when in Sohul, and her snow white glow as well as Hane's gold eyes and cloud white hair just shouted Angels to everyone near. He knew there wouldn't be most dumb enough to try and challenge the Queen, but Hane as usual could never let his guard down.
They managed to push through the thickest parts of the crowd, Hane found it harder being so small and easy to ignore, but eventually the roads dulled down. And that was when Hane managed to spot the shade of green leaning up against a wall. Hane didn't even think twice, when he saw the bottle of poison his ex-pupil drank from so happily, he unsheathed one of his blades and tossed it with lightening speed through the air. Before the boy could even know, Takeo's bottle was sliced clean in half, liquid contents soon flowing out and away from Takeo. Hane straightened up after his sudden throwing act, but kept a glare at his student. "Did I not once tell you the consequences of drinking that Demonic acid?"

Tenshi gave small smiles and waves to the people of Baransu, especially to ones that recognised her. She didn't visit Sohul often, duties up in the sky taking up all her time, but when she did, she made sure to greet everyone she could. It was difficult for her to hide, but she never minded, though she kept a close eye out, just like Hane. You never know who you could run into, but even so, Tenshi could easily take care of herself, that, and she had Hane watching every movement. Tenshi often wished for him to take at least a day off from his duty protecting her, so that he could spend an unguarded day in Sohul with her, but she knew that it would be something he adamantly refused under all accounts. Quickly stopping to give a hug to a small child tugging at her dress, Tenshi missed Hane throwing a sword obviously towards their dear friend. Laughing and saying bye to the child, Tenshi was quick to run over and give Takeo a hug, it really had been far too long. "Takeo my dear, how have you been? And how is Ari? It been far too long since I saw either of you." |

Takeo was happily enjoying his bottle of booze, it being one of the nicest tasting ones that he has conjured up in a while, though, most alcohol tasted the same to him. So when he was about to take yet another swig, and the bottle was cut in two just like that, Takeo was quick to annoy, but he dared not to do anything just yet when he heard his old master speak. Giving off a smirk, Takeo looked towards Hane, he looked no different to the last time they met. Though, he would never underestimate the Angel, he did find too much enjoyment from teasing him. Hoping the other knew it was all in good nature and banter. "And did I not tell you to grow taller for when we next met?" Giving off a quick look to Hane, and a chuckle. Takeo wrapped his arms around the Queen, the only other being, aside from Ari, who got such treatment. "Both are fine. I should be asking if you are okay, no problems with citizens trying to over bare her majesty?" Letting the Queen go, Takeo conjured up two cups of warm tea to hand to Hane and her Majesty before conjuring up yet another bottle of booze and purposefully taking a swig looking straight at his old master. "What about you then young master? You okay?"

Hane glared at Takeo, and would have aimed his other sword if her majesty hadn't moved forward to greet Takeo first. The small Angel sighed. Takeo and his jokes, some things never changed. But Hane could try to think lightly of it, considering he was in Tenshi's presence, and he'd learnt by now to just get along with his fellow Angel's senses of humour. Taking another sigh, Hane slowly broke his distance from the others, standing near Tenshi as she spoke to their young friend. Remaining alert, but politely listening in, Hane carefully took the cup from Takeo. He didn't drink straight away, his pupil's new bottle took his attention. Hane's eyes glanced up to Takeo, slightly annoy over how it was now he who had to look up to meet the others eye. "I am fine, questioning whether the contents of her majesties and my drinks are the same as that golden dribble you lavish over... I wonder why I ever bothered some times." Hane replied, ending with a slight smile. As annoying as he could be, Takeo was missed. Hane had a soft spot for all of his students, their young age, so naive and full of dreams. He envied watching them grow up around him.

Tenshi rolled her eyes and took a step back to see her friend better. She has told Takeo to call her Tenshi god knows how many times, though it will never be as many times as Hane, and yet both still decided to call her, her majesty or your highness. "How many times do I have to tell you... Both of you to just call me Tenshi. And you know how much I love talking to the citizens, I really need to start coming down here more often." Tenshi gave off a light chuckle before gladly accepting the cup of tea, downing it almost in one, chuckling slightly when Takeo called Hane young, she knew the other was just teasing, and she also knew if she wasn't around, Hane would be trying to harm their dear friend for that comment. It wasn't until Hane began to speak that she noticed the broken glass and sword imbedded into the wall that Tenshi realised exactly what she missed... "Hane? Did you throw a sword at Takeo for drinking again?" Chuckling once more, Tenshi looked towards Takeo and back towards Hane. "Its tea, I would know. And really, every time we see him he has a bottle of Alcohol... I wonder why your surprised..." She really was, but it was this sort of reaction that caused her to hide the act that she sometimes willingly drunk a bottle alongside Takeo when she was down in Sohul and had a few moments to herself, though those moments were very rare and done very secretly. "You know, we asked you here for a reason, and I would like to get that over and done with as soon as possibly, so that we have much more time to catch up."

Takeo smirked, he knew the jokes were getting to Hane, its the reason why he does them, but its never to be cruel... Well maybe a little, it was more of a long lasting joke between the two, Hane would try, and fail, to get Takeo to stop drinking, while Takeo would say and do everything Hane hated. Chuckling when Tenshi gulped down her tea in one almost, Takeo conjured up another and handed it over, making sure to change the flavour each time round. "That you should your... Tenshi." It was difficult to address the Queen by her name sometimes, Hane screwing the formalities into his mind back when they were training, but Takeo wished to please the Queen and did his best. Turning towards Hane, Takeo gave off a smirk. "Her majesties is only the best tasting tea I can conjure up, yours however..." Takeo had to joke, he knew that his old master wasn't a drinker of Alcohol, and though he would never spike the others drink with the liquid, he did make sure as to make it seem that way. Downing his own bottle of alcohol, Takeo conjured up another, knowing that despite him wanting the second, it would also annoy Hane. "Im pretty sure nobody see's me without one anymore." Holding his bottle up, Takeo wondered what Hanes reaction would be if he found out Tenshi has had her own on a few occasions, but dared not to say without permission, in case things ended badly. Turning once more towards Tenshi, Takeo grew serious and nodded. "Of course, that would be our best option. So what am I needed for your majesty, Hane. As you know my sword and eyes are at your disposal whenever it is needed."
