Private Finished Family Secrets

Felen reclined slightly in his seat and crossed his regular hand over the demon one before him. "I would be lying if I said I did not wonder sometimes if it would have been better to have just let death take me rather than become a bastardized vessel for something sinister." He closed his eyes as he recalled the sense of overwheming evil and broken memories from his time recovering from the battle in which he obtained the emonic enhancements. It wasn't a pleasant sensation remembering it but it kept him grounded. A mistake had been made but with support from the others he'd been able to move on to do better things.

Like helping to keep Ms. Del Bosque from spiralling out of control after Broen. "But I have helped people greatly, perhaps in ways that another might not have been able to. So no, I think it might be selfish to regret that decision I made. It would be like saying nothing I have done since then has been important or meaningful. And, if you dont mind me saying so, I would think both of us might agree that it is a good thing I am here today because of all I did."

Felen nodded once in satisfaction at her array of compliments. "Thank you for saying all these things about me. But I believe you are stronger than you might realize. You just needed a slight nudge to get yourself moving again. That's all." His reply was overly humble. They both knew what he had done for her, but it wasn't in his nature to take all the credit for pulling her out of her emotional pit of despair.

Besides, he was technically being paid. "Ms. Del Bosque, I should remind you that you are already paying me for my services. Though I suppose I have gone a bit beyond my contractual obligations." He added with an impassively straight face that then softened after a moment and revealed a small wry smile beneath it. Felen stood up from the table and circled around to her side, sliding her own glass of wine away from her a bit. "Speaking of which, I won't keep you from your refreshments for long but before that would you like me to keep clear your morning schedule for tomorrow?"

Felen was a little concerned that she was clearing the entire week, but people were allowed a vacation right? And of course she was the boss. He nodded and then pulled out his phone to make a notation. First thing in the morning he would get on that- a few phonecalls would be needed and he was fairly certain it was too late in the evening for all that. In the process he left her glass and stepped back away respectfully.

"Very well, I will make the arrangements Ms. Del Bosque. Apologies again for taking your glass for a moment but I wanted to confirm the plans before... it got too late." Before she drank enough to be less sober, he meant. But he refused to say it that way. "Actually I should summon Polgid before I forget, as well." The demon familiar tended to make a good door guardian, and certainly served as a pretty decent 'do not disturb' sign as well as a side effect.

Felen stepped back again to begin reciting the harsh, almost painful to the ears, words in the demonic tongue. Finally the large black and red flower topped guardian stepped out from a series of angry red lines in the air. [demonic] "Protect the door. No one enters without permission." The demon bowed its head and Felen let it out the front door.
