Ru was a loss at what to say to Akvan, he said all he could without giving away the fact he knew Chester... So he was thankful for the distraction of the little boy. While following the two down the ally way, Rurushu began to mull over what more he could say... He knew Chester would understand, but at the same time be incredibly hurt if her reaction just talking about Akvan was anything to go by. And yet he still came up blank, all except one thing. "In my world and probably in this Chester's... You deserve one more chance to act selfish. Like I said earlier Itami is trying to break down the control of your powers, if you can deal with that... Then you deserve at least one more act of being selfish." Entering through the fence, Ru let Akvan do the talking while he hung back. If there was anything to help improve Akvan's confidence and indirectly help him control his powers better, it was letting him answer the children's questions.

Akvan hung behind the kid, thinking over what Rurushu said. Yes, the temptation to just accept that he deserved to selfish was strong, but Akvan knew no matter how happy he'd be, the guilt of being selfish would be too overwhelming, should something go wrong. If he let himself be with Chester now, and end up hurting her with a disease or with Shinda, then Akvan would be nothing but shattered and broken. And everyone around Akvan would feel it too. So the Demon couldn't be selfish, he just didn't possess any quality that allowed him to be. When his eyes had focused in the dark, Akvan followed the young boy, who moved up to his younger brother. Akvan's eyes dropped when he saw the condition of the younger brother. Lying down, coughing and sniffing, with a tattered blanket over his little body. He was badly ill, coated in green mist by Akvan's unique vision. But as soon as he looked up, the little boy lit up, smiling as he shuffled himself to a sitting position. "Eric, is he the one you said about?" The sickly kid mumbled. Eric giggled, nodding. "Uh huh, he's the Demon that let me hold a real life Demon sword." The younger one smiled, gasping with awe. Akvan was generally confused. He'd never seen a kid so lively with so much illness inside of him. Eric pulled Akvan closer, not even cautious in touching the deadly Demon. "You're God of Disease right? I heard you talking earlier." Eric asked calmly. Akvan blinked, nodding slightly. Eric sat down next to his little brother, pulling part of the blanket over to him. "Olly wanted to ask you something." Eric said, looking to his brother. Olly nodded, "Yeah, I was wondering about what happens when I go to your home. I know I'm real ill right now, but I don't want to leave Eric alone. So, could I still be with him, as a Demon?" Akvan shuffled down to the floor. "Well, umm... w-when you die, you'll be reborn as a Demon. But you won't keep any memories, just your personality." Olly looked to the ground, and Eric place an arm over his shoulder. "So what Olly? We talked about it remember? No matter what, a brother is a brother, even if you don't remember me when you're up there." Olly nodded, and Akvan just went quiet. He honestly didn't know what to say to those in this situation, he was always one to feel for them from a distance, perhaps pray or something. But comforting wasn't something he was used to.

Ru gave a gentle smile when watching the two, it reminded him so much of one of the first conversations he had with Chester when she was young, and before they dragged her into the Outlaws affairs. And because of this, Ru knew exactly what to say, it may even get something through to Akvan. "Your right, a brother is a brother. All Demons see one another as one mucked up family." Ru knew he was going against his earlier thoughts of letting Akvan do the talking, but he just couldn't help himself in this situation. "You can always ask the Demons about your past life too, though many don't wish to know it. So don't fret if you don't remember... Because at the end of the day, no matter where you end up, something good will happen to you. As long as you don't give up hope." Ru put a comforting hand on Akvan's shoulder, in a way saying that to him rather than the two boys, though it was something that counted to them too. And the many events that have occurred in recent weeks have taught Ru anything, it was that something always good happens to one, regardless on their past mistakes, for him it was Kaku. For these boys it will be them reuniting as brothers. "If you want, me and Akvan here can keep an eye out for the two of ya. So when the time does come.. We can reunite ya both as brothers."

Akvan didn't have to respond himself, so he guessed he was glad that Rurushu was here too. The Demon went off in his own thoughts as they all talked about brothers. He thought of the young times he'd shared with Gensho. Whilst Akvan had been happy to wander around alone like any other Demon, Gensho insisted that they become brothers, since they were reborn at the same time. Akvan didn't want a brother, or any relation. His mind was so confused on how to act that he didn't know what to expect of having a brother. But Gensho was able to convince Akvan what kind of relationship it could be, and now, Akvan could consider no one closer to him than Gensho. Not even recent events could change that, brothers were for life. "T-that's right, I know I've brought this fate upon you, to become a Demon. But don't feel like you don't deserve to be happy in that life. You can be worlds apart and still be connected, so long as you try to find one another again." Akvan glanced up to Rurushu, still wondering if the other Outlaws were just as bad as Itami, or was she the only thorn in the rose. Akvan nodded, smiling to his best ability. Olly seemed interested still, warm in his sickly state. "Thank you Mr?" He asked to Rurushu.

Ru smiled towards Akvan. He hoped that this was what Akvan really thought, and realised it counted for him too. Turning his gaze towards Olly, he gave him a huge grin. "Just call me Ru." Rurushu sat cross legged on the ground, and removed his cloak. "Akvan is right. It doesn't matter where you end up, as long as you try to find each other once more, you can find happiness. And even if you don't find one another, that bond still wont be broken." Ru knew he would have more to say to Akvan later on regarding some of the things said, but for now he was happy that Akvan was conversing with the two boys, no matter if Ru is don't most of the talking. Looking towards his cloak, Ru smiled and handed it over to the boys. "Here, its not much, but for now it will show you have made a friend, and perhaps a brother, so keep it safe alright? And like I said, I'll keep an eye out on the both of ya, Human, Demon or Angel and make sure ya reunited."
