[ wow don't give him that face, you didn't tell him you needed him to wait. he would have - it's not like he didn't have other things he could be doing, ruuuude. but either way, max doesn't react much to it, just rolls a shoulder as he steps up next to her, looking out at the valley.

hearing the name 'Uriel', he lets out a low groan, grimacing some. ]

Uriel's a bitch. We don't get along well. [ more like, Uriel doesn't like Max much, given that'd been one Dani channeled one of the times Max needed the possession literally kicked out of him by Marco and Dani. he hits hard, it hurts. but-- ] I can take him.

[ probably. maybe. we'll see. ] But this doesn't seem like Uriel. He isn't the righteous boner type - just defends.

[ which was how he'd been so good for slamming the demon out of max. he doesn't really bat an eye at the mention that the summoners had been sucked dry, considering that deserved, honestly, but the town thing is a problem, isn't it? ]

Okay. What do you need? A roadblock to buy time, or do you want me to just kick it back from whence it came? [ he's good with either, but if she has a plan already in motion for sending it back to the heavens, that'd be preferred to battle royale. ]
