Neo grinned, putting a cigarette in his mouth.

"If I don't light it, it can't kill me, right?"

he pocketed the rest of the cigarettes.

"It's not really like my health can get any worse..."
Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

Athena narrowed her eyes at the cat. He wasn't completely feline... As much as she loved cats, and yes, she had argued with Cath multiple times on the topic, she wasn't going to trust this little guy just because he was one. Also, WHAT WAS UP WITH NEO AND SMOKING!? "Don't say that. Hand those cigarettes over right now." She and Cath had tried, and failed, to cure Neo of the habit multiple times.

Lifting her chin up, Nox narrows her eyes at both the boy and his strange feline companion. Everyone raised great points, but they would have to come to a final decision soon. The sooner they left the area, the better.

"If the kid doesn't slow us down, he can join us" she says coldly. Who was she kidding? Of course she wanted the kid to join them. It was astonishing someone so young survived on their own this long. You can't protect everyone a voice reminds her.

"As for your cat" she removes a katana and thrusts the blade downward so it was pointing towards the cat. "Whatever it is, you better keep it under control. My patience is quickly beginning to wear thin, the moment that thing becomes a threat..." She clenches her teeth and says nothing. They can piece it together anyway.

As for Neo, she glances at him with a slightly bemused expression. "What's the point of having them if they don't light? Don't be foolish Neo, not only are they harmful to your health they'll only make us easier to track. Give them to Athena" she scolds while glaring at him through the corner of her eye.

She sheaves her katana and steps to the back of the group. Glancing at Mei as she passes with a concerned look. She really didn't like her sudden inattention. What did she know? Nox glances around, suddenly sharing her paranoia.

There it was again... Ugh, what a headache. She should've just stayed in Hell, honestly. At least there she wouldn't have her own head fighting itself, and she wouldn't have to deal with these people. She could honestly care less if Sobble joined them, in all honesty, Mei only wanted to check him out because she wanted a reason to kill something. She hoped this guy was a weak demon or something, she needed to vent her anger.

Well... That was one way. She glanced over at the bickering and her eyes locked on Neo, specifically what was in his hands. She immediately melted into the ground, only to reappear again with Neo's cigarettes in hand. "Thanks for the pack," she said plainly, taking one out and holding it in her hands. She tossed the rest aside, which somehow sank into the shadows as well. There, now no one can have them. Mei personally wasn't a big fan of smoking, it smelled terrible and she had better things to do. This was the first time she had seen it in this form though, but she had definitely heard about it from those she talked to in Hell. A good portion of the newer guys used these things, and they always complained about not having a pack. How insufferable... Anyways, she was really only doing this to make them mad, they clearly weren't a fan of it either.

Mei picked up a blade of semi-dry grass and held it in between her fingers, the cigarette in her other hand close to her mouth. Suddenly, the blade burst into a tiny flame, dancing in her fingers. Mei somehow wasn't getting burned, and she was acting like this was natural to her. It became obvious that the flame was slowly dying, but she managed to light the cigarette before it did so. She glanced over at Nox momentarily, noticing that she was suddenly on edge. Yeah, guess she was a bit too obvious.

"We need to leave now. Every minute we stay here is a minute closer to death." She turned to the boy. "If you're coming... then let's go. Keep your cat in check, and Cerberus won't eat his face off. Hmm... you got a name, kid?"

Cath lagged behind the group, deferring to Nox and Neo's skills as they approached demon territory. She had carefully slid all her vials back into her satchel, and slung it over her shoulder, but she continued to hold it close to her. She was glad Mei had taken the cigarettes, but the residual smell was giving her a headache. It was deeper than just a smell; the acrid stench of sulfur and tobacco had accompanied the demons on the day they came...

She never told Neo, because she wanted him to quit of his own volition. But Cath hated the infernal things. They brought her back to the worst days of her life. Focus.

"Mei," she spoke softly to her companion. "If I asked about your well-being, would you answer truthfully?"

Mei had already tossed aside the half-burned cigar, already about to gag due to the putrid smell. She instead put her hands in her pockets and walked off to the side of the group. She seemed tired and bored, but said nothing as they traveled. That is, until Cath spoke up.

"Mei, if I asked about your well-being, would you answer truthfully?"

She stopped walking, her expression unchanged but her body seemed to tense up a little. Where was Cath going with this...? "I think you already know the answer to that..." Mei spoke those words quietly, her voice low and dark. She was pretty much a compulsive liar, spewing untruthful words was what she did. It made things more fun, and her, less readable. Besides... Wasn't Cath done with her stupid questions? Mei was getting tired of answering, but it wasn't like she was going to stop. A small sigh followed after a few moments, her arms now crossed and her feet slowly picking up again. "Fine, what do you want..."

Yep, something was off with Mei. Cath wondered if it didn't have anything to do with her entry breach into the Nothingness earlier.

"You seem... quiet, despondent. Is something bothering you?" Yes, they weren't really friends. She'd known the crazy witch for all of a few forum pages, but Cath couldn't help but be concerned. Perhaps she needed a friend... perhaps Cath could be that friend.

She stared down at the ground feeling small stones crunching beneath her boots. A few leaves danced across the ground, small whispers of wind picking them up and carrying them to a great beyond. Cath realized that the forest was quiet; only the creaking trees could be heard. The birds had all been scared off by the blast radiation. Still, she waited for Mei's response.

"I'm Sobble and the cat is Calico. May I now know your names? It looks like I'm safe but what about Calico?" Sobble asks politely.

Well crap, she had her there. Someone was bound to notice soon, but Mei really hoped that it wouldn't be Cath. She gave a sigh and closed her eyes, thinking for a moment. She could lie, but... Eh, there wasn't a point, Cath would just see right through her. Still, she didn't want to look like a weak idiot after that show she put on earlier. She had already painted herself as unpredictable and a manipulator of her own emotions at least she hoped she did and telling the truth would be so embarrassing.

"Bothering me? Don't worry about it, nothing you need to know anyways..." She grumbled. Ouch, bit harsh, wasn't it? Mei admittedly felt a little bad, but she meant what she said. She was tired of forking over information, and she figured that answer was truthful enough. It confirmed that there was, in fact, something bothering her, but hopefully Cath could take the hint.

Aww, but they're your friends! Stop being such a baby and lighten up, you don't keep things from friends~

Oh shut up... Mei's face twisted slightly upon having that thought, but she quickly wiped that expression off her face before anyone could notice. She looked over at Sobble, then at Calico. "Lilac." Mei shot a glare at Cath, slightly annoyed that she was just saying her real name like that. "That thing is not safe... As long as it's here, I'm not trusting you a bit..."

"Maybe that's just because I gave Calico some of my special abilities. First I gave him abilities of the Ninja, then I gave him the ability to stay calm in any type of situation and last I gave him the ability to reflect any magic spell at the one who casted it. Those are also all the powers I have."

"Alright then Lilac," Cath said quietly. "Sorry I asked." Mei would talk when she was ready. If she was ever ready. Cath couldn't care less. Totally. 100%. You just can't handle missing out on any information, can you? Stupid, pathetic, bossy, busy-body... She really needed to stop thinking negative thoughts.

The Professor shifted her focus to the boy, Sobble. He seemed... bland. A boy and his cat, going for a walk in the woods. Yet he must have some sort of secret. People couldn't just go for walks in the woods and survive so easily anymore with the demons. And what was more: he had so much stupidly positive energy.

"I'm Professor Elysium," She said again. "Most people call me Professor, or Cath. Cerberus here is Lilac's dog." She gestured to the rest of her companions. Why couldn't she bring herself to trust Sobble? "They'll introduce themselves... crazy demon hunters the three of them."

She was very concerned about the cat. The magic that Sobble infused into it should not give her that inconclusive result. And why was Sobble just telling them about his powers? He had no idea who they were. He was either extremely confident, or naive...

"Like I said before. Keep the cat in control, and Cerberus won't bite his face off."

Yep, it was official. The cat was successfully unnerving her. She had never liked felines... well there had been one a while ago, but Kepler had undergone enough experiments to be officially considered half cat and half dog. The demons had made her watch them eat him...

She resolved to keep an eye on them.

Now that they were moving, Nox found that she could calm down a bit. They were finally putting distance between themselves and the demons. But she couldn't calm down fully. They could easily catch up, they also weren't the only threat out here.

Nox decides to take the lead. Since nobody mentioned going to a specific place, she decides to lead them to one of her 'safe houses.' The closest one being an old office building. It was small, it only had the lobby, a bathroom, and three offices, but it would be enough. It was far better than sleeping out in the open. She had managed to store some supplies in there, but it wouldn't be enough for a group of this size. Still, it was better than nothing.

She unsheathes her katanas and tries to ignore the chatter behind her so she can be alert for signs of danger. But at the mention of names she simply turns around and introduces herself as 'Nox.' Unlike with the others, Sobble doesn't get the luxury of knowing her real name.

She didn't exactly distrust the boy. But she had to admit, she was curious about how he managed to survive and stay optimistic. Whatever, she would leave that task to Cath. She had a promise to keep afterall- ensure that Cath stays alive, she intended to focus on that duty.

Oh Goodess have mercy on him, this was going to be painful. "Yes, it is... very fun." He agreed, baring his teeth in a approximation of pure excitement and joy. "Come now, lets catch up to those pesky rats before they scurry off too far." And the faster I can go back to bed, was unsaid but very much expressed in the drag of a hand down Belphi's face. Half of him wanted to double back to find Grimm, she would be useful in any sort of hit and run sort of operation with those creepy ink hands of hers. Oh well, there wasn't much he could do about that and he would have to just cut his loses.

Neo was near the front. he pulled out a lighter and tried to sneakily light the cigarette.

"Cath really thought she could stop me... I really need one right about now..."

She could smell it again. A jolt of hurt and fury tore through her, vanishing as soon as it had come. Quietly, she reached into her satchel and pulled out a piece of fabric. She looped the buff around her neck, trying to block out the stench. Snatching a piece of pine, she crumpled the needle, and lined the inside with it.

Her headache was still there, a dull throbbing pain. Nox had taken charge, and that was fine by her. Cath was just... tired. It was all so complicated, and she just needed a good minute to process.

Lowering his hand from his face, Aster's eyes fall on Grimm, who had silently rejoined the two. He yelps in surprise and throws his hands up, ready to defend himself. He gives her a tight, embarrassed smile and lowers his hands to awkwardly wave at her. "Belphi! Grimm is back!" He points out excitedly while quickly racing behind the tired demon. It was almost amazing how unaware Aster was of Belphi's exhaustion. He was excitedly racing ahead, only to return back to Belphi before his demeanor suddenly changed.

Just like that, the mental switch in his mind flipped, and he was reminded of the hunt. He may not be able to find his prey anymore, but he could certainly track down the destroyed base. From there, he could likely track them. It would be a slow hunt, but the hunt would still be enjoyable. He licks his fangs, already anticipating the delicious taste of blood this hunt would bring. He had almost forgotten how excited he was to taste the prey in this realm. "Yes, let's" he says in reply to Belphi, his voice sounding far more darker and serious.
...

"Tsk" Nox could smell the distinct smell of cigarette smoke behind her. Did Neo take her for a fool? She pauses her pursuit, but only to pluck the lit cigarette from his hands and stomp it into the dirt underneath her boot. After, she turns around and continues to lead the group forward. "If you are looking for something to do, why don't you come out of retirement and help me keep watch for demons?" Nox asks Neo.

He was surrounded by incompetent fools who couldn't even do their job, or did do their job but was so easily distracted from it that it was laughable. Not like he had any ground to stand on, being a demon who could sleep through a whole entire war, but still. Running through what little about the humans he could remember from the unfortunately brief encounter, Belphi crafted a pseudo list of who would probably be the easiest to pick off first. Ah, but first planning the route that the humans were going to take would probably be a good idea, that way they could be funneled into more advantageous land. But that meant scouting ahead and the amount of work that was looming over Belphi's head was already starting to make him regret a lot of things. With a distracted mumble of "Welcome back, I guess", he walked towards a random direction, head still spinning with potential what ifs and how abouts
