HEAVEN SENT — RAID PREPARATIONS

[Luca]

Luca had spent the last few hours wandering in circles, brow furrowed and claws hissing against the floor of the base. He had been waiting for the announcement for a while, itching to dig his ember-coated claws into the bodies of the Pittians that thought they could take Luca's loved ones away from him. He didnt have many as things were, so it was unacceptable that they'd be captured. Especially since he knew that it was his fault. That thought was the one that finally stopped his circling, causing the demon to sway to a halt. He chewed on his lower lip, his good eye staring at the ground as he tried to stomach the soul crushing guilt. If he hadnt let his guard down and allowed his seal to break, then maybe Goldie and Junji would have been able to fight off their captors. Without him around, there was a possibility that they would have been fine, and knowing that was almost too heavy a burden to bear.

Pincher's approaching presence was impossible for him to miss. Luca finally looked up as the Captain drew near, taking in the icy resolve that had surrounded him. It looked like they were finally going to take action. He listened intently to his superior's words, weighing his options for a moment or two. Of course a big part of him, the angry one that lusted for blood, was immediately drawn to the role of chaos bringer. In any other circumstance it was definitely the one he'd go for, but he knew that this time he had to choose the alternative. He almost felt guilty for thinking it, but Junji was his top priority. Goldie was very close behind, of course, but he had all but forgotten the other captured member. What was her name, Keona? Luca didn't have much need for the ones he never interacted with. "I'll be in the rescue group." His words were quiet as he messed with the pouch at his side, counting the small knives thar he kept there. All he had ro do now was wait for the battle to begin. He'd see them again soon.
