Two (crimson courreges) (video/action)

[Video]

[This may be the most emotion anyone has seen out of Ledah. The hand that isn't holding his phone is clenched tightly, and his expression is distinctly a scowl.]

What can be forgiven for expediency? What can we ignore in order to gain allies against the Shadows?

On a related note. How would you suggest someone relieve stress?

[Action]

[Ledah still looks pissed off as he wanders around the city. He has purchased for this occasion a 'stress ball', which is seeing some serious wear and tear from how much he's been squeezing it. It really hasn't helped. He's considering complaining to the store owner.]

[He really doesn't look like he has any destination in mind; he's just walking to be walking. He's wearing his formal dress and not even noticing the occasional strange looks from passerby.]

[Bother him?]

[April is just walking down the street, carrying more books from the library, this time in a bag, when she spots Ledah. And his pissed off look gets a concerned look from the redhead.]

... Ledah?

[He looks up. Oh, it's April. He knows her and is not annoyed at her.]

Yes?

[Not being annoyed at someone: good start.]

Um, is it alright if I ask what's wrong?

I am a Grim Angel. I kill demons that threaten the safety of my home and the gods. That is what I was created for. I have no other purpose in life.

There are demons here.

I let them live.

I see, and that's put you in a bad mood. [Her voice and expression are casual and neutral, though she frowns slightly when she notices the state of the stress ball.]

... And I'm guessing that hasn't been any good.

It has been remarkably unhelpful, but I don't think I can return it in this state. [To say the least.]

[Yep, April can see that. She tilts her head slightly as she thinks; while she isn't too good with dealing with emotions, she wants to try and help.]

I'm... not sure if I'll be any help either, but usually when I'm in a bad mood, I find something to focus on, like something to work on or reading something... or I just simply vent and rant at someone.

Reading has been suggested. Do you have any recommendations from what you've taken from the library?

[She certainly took out enough.]

[Hey, April just really likes reading

And hold on, she needs to think about this and take a look in her big bag of books.]

Hmmm, the books on history are really good and so are the books on mythology and there are some good adventure novels too... [Hold on, gonna look through her bag for a moment and after rummaging she pulls out a thick book; judging by the title, it seems to be about the history of Europe.]

This has been my favorite book so far.

[She raises an eyebrow at his appearance, different as it is from the serene gaze she'd seen last.]

All kinds of things; reading, writing, music, art, even just talking to someone. Different ways for different people, try some stuff out.

Not gonna be dumb and ask if anything's wrong, so I'll skip to, "do you wanna talk about it?"

I see. I should find some books for myself, then.

...It might help if I spoke to someone, as you've said. [He seems remarkably reluctant.]

The library's open for a good few more hours if you'd like to try that. You could also try giving Mr. Campbell a call and seeing if his used book store is still open -- you'd have to pay for those, though.

[She's not reading him like an open book per se, but she's able to infer a decent amount from his body language and tone. The rest is fanciful filling in of blanks.] I've got an open ear if you'd like. And if you'd rather not, that's fine too. Hm, maybe a journal would be a good idea...

I will stop by the library whenever convenient.

Did you know that there are demons in this city now? [Cutting to the chase.]

Demons? What, like the ones you were talking about a while back? News to me. Guess I shoulda kept a better eye on the phone?

It would likely be a good idea for your safety.

Probably, though I was getting used to not being on-edge 24/7... oh well.

You talk to them or investigate them at all? How dangerous are they if - and I'm taking a guess here - they're just humans, too?

I've spoken to the three - two demons and a fallen angel - relatively briefly. Although they have no powers, they remain ruthless and unrepentant.
