Before he could think, Runic found himself being hoisted up against his will. He hated being dependant on another, it was not the demon way. He'd really much rather she left him alone. Pulling back, he tried to glare at her but she was too busy trying to brace herself against him. As her arm came around his back, he froze in surprise. In his earlier confusion, he hadn't realized he was in his human form. When did he do that? Suddenly it made much more sense that she was treating him like this, she didn't know what he was. An angel would be more sympathetic to a human, killer or not.

That didn't change the fact Runic didn't want to be helped. He tried to peel her off of him, but with little success. Finally, she pleaded to him and he paused. Clearly she wasn't giving up and he could sense that. Exhaustion swept through him and he relented, a bitter expression on his face. The two of them clambered up the slope and when they reached the trees, she let him down and he leaned against the tree gratefully.
You can pretend that when you hear my voice, darling, it's your choice not to fall in.

But it's all an act, 'cause I know exactly what you're wanting. You know it's what I'm wanting

Boy I know what you desire, oh, you're such a bad, bad liar

This could be perfection, or venom dripping in your mouth

Singing like a Siren, love me while your wrists are bound

Hope stood for a moment, hands on her knees, panting as she watched the man settle against the tree trunk in relief. Judging by the way they'd walked up here, one of his legs was seriously injured. Kneeling beside him, she rolled up his pant legs, gripping his ankle firmly when he tried to pull away. After a brief struggle, she'd successfully found the source of his pain. His left leg had been gouged by a sharp rock, and it looked painful. Unfortunately, the healing touch of an angel was not something Hope was confident in, as she had just learned it. Doubtful she could do much, she would have to rely on her mediocre knowledge of first aid. Tearing off the bloody pant leg, she tied off the upper leg to reduce bleeding before running back to the water. Pulling away a corner of her shirt, she soaked it in the water and ran back to him. He was watching her steadily, a furrow in his brow. She began to wipe away the excess blood with the wet rag, trying to clean up the wound.
"You don't have to do that." His voice startled her for a moment, the deep tones reverberating down her spine. Without looking up, she frowned.
"Yes I do, this is a serious wound."
"It'll heal."
"Not on it's own, it won't." There was a pause.
"I heal fast." Something about the way he said it made her look up at his face. She met his intense gaze, somehow sensing that he was trying to tell her something.

Runic had grudgingly sat still as the woman ran to the water and returned with a wet rag she'd torn from her own shirt. Gods, how disgustingly selfless angels were! His wounds looked bad, but there would be no trace of them by midday. Still, he obviously wasn't going anywhere soon, and since she seemed absolutely determined to help him, he decided it would be best just to go along with it. For now, anyway. He ignored the sting as she began to wipe away the blood and watched her face. She seemed completely focused on her task, and he subtly sighed. It was apparent now that she didn't know that he was a demon. He spoke to her quietly. After a brief exchange, she looked up at him. She seemed to detect that he was trying to tell her something.

He didn't really want to tell her outright what was going on, but he also didn't want to not tell her either. It was perplexing. The strange emotions bubbled up, tugging him each way, and his mind couldn't really decide which was a better choice. He really hoped she would just save him the trouble and figure it out on her own. Her brow furrowed slightly as she searched his face. Absently, he thought about how even such an expression did not do anything to mar her pristine face. She had an angel's face (figuratively speaking, but appropriate.) Mentally shaking himself, he returned her gaze steadily.
Figure it out, already!

She'd been searching the man's expression for some clue as to what he was trying to tell her, but Hope could find nothing. Rather, she couldn't understand it. His expression was completely unreadable; she'd never seen one like it before, and had no idea how to label it.
It was probably just something to do with the whole 'I tried to kill you and now you're helping me' thing.

Ignoring it, she turned back to his leg. This was more important that whatever he was mulling over. Yet, as she cleaned away the worst of the bleeding, she noticed that the gash didn't really seem to be as bad as she'd thought. The bleeding had slowed down considerably, too. She could have sworn it was much worse a minute ago. She started to think maybe he wasn't kidding when he said he healed fast. That wouldn't be all too strange a thing here in Evelon. There were many creatures out and about that weren't what they seemed, or whose parents weren't what they seemed. Hope, of course, was one of them.

She looked up at those striking golden eyes that were staring intensely at her. If the situation were different, she'd probably have found that gaze disconcerting. Instead, she smiled softly at him, genuinely happy.
"You really do heal fast, that's great!"
His expression was definitely surprised. The change in his face seemed to release all that negativity from before and made him look a little younger. All the cuts of his face had healed, and his hair was starting to dry, falling naturally into his eyes. It really hit her at that moment how good-looking he was. A warm knot developed in her stomach and only became more intense as she tried to shake the feeling.

Well, she hadn't gotten it. Runic was somehow both relieved and disturbed. He watched her in silence, trying to figure out why he was being so indecisive and how he could proceed from here. Honestly, he was going to have to flat-out tell her or otherwise just get her to go away. Then he could go on and pretend this whole thing never happened.

At this point, the woman seemed to be realizing that he wasn't joking about healing quickly. He watched her intently, watching with both eagerness and dread for the moment when her expression changed to realization and horror. He was thoroughly unprepared for her pleased look. He swore his heart fluttered for a moment at her smile, but he was preoccupied with the fact that she was happy that he was healing. To be honest, it really shouldn't have surprised him at this point, but he just couldn't get over how...nice this girl was. Even the angels he had encountered previously weren't this kind.

More importantly, Runic didn't know what to do with this warm feeling in his chest. No one, angel or not, had been so genuinely concerned for his well-being before. Not to mention, his mind kept focusing on the strangest little things; the way the light hit her eyes, or the way a lock of hair fell across her face. He resisted the urge to brush it aside as his gaze fell to her lips. She unconsciously licked them and bit softly as her own gaze fell to his mouth. Vaguely Runic was aware that they were a lot closer than he'd thought, but before he could pull himself out of this haze in his mind, he'd leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers.
