Everything to Lose-Everything to Gain (Accepting)

[Zahzi]

Ataroth didn't even look at Kagu.
"This does not involve you, woman."

Zero then turned around to face Hael before turning small again and jumping onto her head, cooing.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Kagu gave a smirk at Valentine. "Good evening Valentine." She greeted, ignoring Astaroth.

Hael rolled her eyes, before reaching up and gently petting Zero with her hand as if he were some kind of pet.
"And you guys say he's dangerous..."  

[SoujiAtsumi]

"Aww how cute." Koji said chuckling.

Iraaka giggled. "You people are funny."

Valentine made a tisking noise. "You shouldn't be rude to a lady Astaroth." He sheathed his sword before turning to Kagu. "How are you, i supose you don't have any news eather?"  

[Zahzi]

"Well, what happened to Caius should be an example..."

Astaroth scoffed, placing the claymore back on his back.
"You walk away from a fight because of this useless woman...Pathetic."  

[SoujiAtsumi]

"It's called talking to a comrade, you should try it some time. Besides Lord Racht would get mad if we faught in the castle."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Not like he didn't have it coming." Hael scoffed, ignoring Koji and Iraaka's teasing. "Besides, a cute little guy like him... He can't be that dangerous all the time.."

"I'll answer any questions you have later, Valentine." Kagu sighed. "For now, defend your honor from Astaroth."  

[Zahzi]

"...Think again."

"Pah...Like you would even amount to anything, compared to me." Astaroth said, crossing his arms again.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"But how can you be afraid of a face like this?" Hael whimpered, suddenly grabbing onto Zero and holding him out in front of herself so he was facing Menos.  

[SoujiAtsumi]

Valentine glared at him and giant ice sickles erupted around him. "Kagu. leave. now."

"He is kinda cute." Iraaka said quietly giggling.  

[Zahzi]

Zero just stared at Menos, before giving a closed-eyed grin.

". . ."

Astaroth gave a chuckle. Predictable as always.
He began to walk off.
"Top of the castle. Now."  

[SoujiAtsumi]

Valentine followed behind him, ice sickles erupted as he walked.

"Thaaat's creepy."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"See?" Hael giggled, bringing Zero back to herself as she cradled him in between her arms and chest. "It's impossible to be fearful of him!" She said, giving him a closed eye smile. "And I wanna keep him, as long as he promises to be nice to Farren, my pup.." She said, looking down at Zero.
"Will you be nice to my puppy?"

"As you wish." Kagu smirked, stepping back. "I'll watch from the Castle Tower."  

[SoujiAtsumi]

"Uh Hael he isn't a pet..."  

[Zahzi]

As they reached the top, Astaroth walked to one edge of the roof, and waited for Valentine to be ready.

"Ohhh, a puppy?" Zero asked, excitedly.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Yup~" Hael grinned at Zero, before looking up at Koji. "I know... If anything he's like a kid... And I wanna keep him!" She said protectively, her grip around Zero tightening.
