Darius
A slow smirk had descended his lips as he listened to the frantic cry of his current master's brother, the vile grin slowly twisting into something malicious as a cackle passed his parted lips, shark like teeth bared in amusement at the other. "Ah? Tell me, Human~" He cooed, momentarily shifting his gaze to the angel for he huffed, smiling darkly. "Why should I even attempt, or even think about that option?" He questioned, raising his other, unoccupied hand till only his index finger was pointed out.
The grin softened to a dull scowl, his look once again one of boredom as he began to mumble, yet having returned to a point where he was explaining once more. "Firstly, Since I will be serving her until her death, to which I do hope is not to long from now, Why would I even think of sending her soul to that fluffy place? What would I have gotten from all of this?" He asked, looking at his through thick lashes as he huffed. "I mean, It is like asking someone to build a house under a contract but not get the pay or recognition for it." There was a pause as he glared at the angel, smirking. "I am no bloody prissy like your winged fellow there, being all nice and charitable is far from what I was made for."
Still staring at the Angel, Darius kept that grin, the very taunting twitch to the edges of his lips continued. "Then there is the fact I would, to be able to do it, have to allow one of those halo bastards to taint me with their presence. Do you know how annoying that is? Not only is it painful but I would have to work for years on fixing that very taint. So why would I put all of the years into this contract to not get a single thing?" Darius gratefully took the pancake from Emma, holding it between his fingers cautiously as he let it stay there for a moment before he took a bite. After a few seconds, he finished the breakfast, grinning. "Thanks, Emma."
Turning back to the angel and his master, Darius cocked his head lazily. "Personally, I would like to know. I don't understand your reasoning for wanting to save her. Why do you care? Shouldn't you ensure your own survival? I mean I am sure I could find away to go around my contract here to kill you both before Emma could even solve my loop and order me not too..." The demon trailed over, waving his hand about lazily. "I would not save my brother. If he was weak, then he would die. Simple as! If Dante was foolish enough to get into a situation, he should get himself out..."
When he was done, his overall appearance had settled as he listened to Emma, still appearing to be generally quite bored. Still, the female brought a look of confusion to his features as he furrowed his brow. "You would rather be consumed than technically still alive in a world?" He mumbled, glancing over to the other two before back to her. "Every human ever contracted to one of us, the kings, have begged to be spared from being consumed.." He reached up, settling a curled finger upon his chin. "This is why I insist you are strange..." He added before perking up slightly. "Which is a good thing. Currently, I believe I will keep you alive...albeit the torture, it would be to much effort to continue such for eternity..."
