Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is where demons go.

Adell walked into the market, glancing at the lady behind the counter before pushing past the crowd of rich snobs and walking through the doors. He scanned the many cages with care, moving down the hall slowly, careful to avoid the 'Masters' who were also looking through the cages. He sighed, the humanoid feeling of pity washing through him, though he quickly rid his mind of it and moved on. He didn't have the time to feel sorry for all of them, their fates weren't his trouble, and even if they were, he hadn't the time, nor the place, to take them all. And it wasn't like it would be any better then the cages they sat in now. He frowned as the guards eyed him, and ignored them, pausing by a few of the cages before moving on.

Why am I here...? Adell thought, staring absentminded at one of the slaves as he waited for the 'Snobs' to pass him so he could move on, Ah, yes, father insisted I not be alone in this realm. Odd that he would suggest a Slave, as they are all mostly useless... He gripped the hat under his arm as he eyed one of the ones screaming and shaking the cage, Or, instead, simply insane. He laughed coldly, the chilling sound echoing down the hall, and moved on. Why is the air so disgusting in here? He pondered suddenly, and noticed a 'Lady Snob' passing by. It was almost like she bathed in perfume, which would have been nice, if measured carefully. Instead of smelling of a sweet flower, it was more a dead animal that was surrounded in flowers. He laughed again, smiling coolly, and continued on.

Adell paused at the sound of tapping, and his eyes met Snows, his mismatched eyes flickered darker, and he smiled, approaching the cage. "Ah, look, a Wolf..." He muttered softly, "I'm surprised you're alive still, in this heat." He commented, fanning himself with the hat he had tucked under his arm, "How did a fine creature like you end up here anyway?" He muttered the question, flinching as a 'Snob' bumped into him, "Do you mind? I'm standing here." He snapped, eyes turning cold in an a flash. The man scurried off without a reply, almost cowering away. Adell frowned, looking back at Snow, "Pests." He laughed softly, eyes softening again, "As we were saying?" He smiled, though it held no warmth, and glanced at a guard that was approaching him, no doubt going to question if he wanted the Demon.

Adell listened to the Wolf's story, smiling coolly, "Well, I'm sorry to hear you were tricked... quite the choice of friends you've got there..." He laughed cruelly, eyes bright, and nodded as he spoke of the guard, "Don't fret, I won't leave you here in this heat. Though I can't guaranty you'll last long with me..." He said, and looked over at the guard as he stopped a few feet away, "What happened to your hand? That must have hurt...." His smile never wavered as he taunted the guard, laughing softly.
The man cleared his throat, and shook his head, "Are you interested in this slave, Sir?" He asked bluntly, eyes narrowing into a glare, which only triggered another chilling laugh.
"I think I am, what does it matter?" He teased, tipping his head slightly, and decided that the guard was no fun, "Yes, I am. I'd like to purchase him, if you'd show me to the papers..." He glanced at the Wolf, and followed the guard off towards the back room.

A few minutes pasted before Adell reemerged from the dark room, papers in one hand, three keys dangling from the other. He walked slowly back to Snow, unlocking the cage silently, before stepping in and undoing the chains with the second key. He eyed the last, and simply tucked it into his coat pocket, offering his newly free hand to Snow, "I'm Adell..." He said softly, "And you are?" His mismatch eyes were rather hypnotic in a way as their colors changed like fire.

Adell's eyes warmed a bit as he took the offered hand, and spoke, "Snow? Very well..." He said, kissing the top of his hand gently, before leading him out of the cage and through the mass of Snobs, "Well, I guess that counts for something. But saving you only to sell you? I'd hardly call that a 'Friend'" He said, glancing back at the comment about being 'fine in his hands'. "I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet, Snow..." He said, leading him through the doorway, "I might be worse then this place, who can say?" He laughed, making the people around them jump and spin to look, obviously shaken by the sound. He ignored them, used to the reaction, and stepped out onto the street, cold air making him shiver, "Ah, forgot it was still winter..." He muttered, still holding Snows hand, and stuffed the papers in his pocket to pull his collar up to cover more of his neck against the cold and put on his hat.

Adell lead Snow to his car and unlocked the doors. He shivered again, and opened the door for Snow politely, releasing his hand to walk over to the drivers side and slide in. "My house is not far from here, only but a few minutes...." He said, starting the engine and setting his hat next to him. "So, how long have you been in that Hell?" he asked, laughing softly as he put it in reverse and pulled out of the parking slot to start the trip home.
