"No... " Kcalb said. Etihw slowly looked up to him and gave a confused expression. The devil suddenly held the god by the shoulders and forced her to face him.
"Etihw, what you're saying is all absolutely wrong. In fact, you are the kindest, funniest, best god I know. Even if I do despise your teasings, sometimes they do amuse me. SOMETIMES. " He emphasized.
Etihw's tears stopped flowing down. Kcalb started to talk again.
"The truth is... It's me who doesn't deserve you or this world. The only thing I've done is make you grieve. I've killed so many people, I've caused too much destruction and bloodshed... " He said in a regretful tone.
"Sometimes I think that... I should have never lived, that you should have left me trapped in the earth to slowly die... but you didn't... Instead you forgave me and now... We're here, in this peaceful happy world teasing each other and playing and what not. " Kcalb started to smile lightly.
Etihw only stared at him still teary eyed.
"But your wings... I-"
"If I had the choice to choose between my wings and this world, even if it were given to me a million times, I would always choose this life. "
His words struck her deeply. The thought made her began to cry again. Kcalb only hugged her, her head beneath his chin, and his hand stroking her hair. He let her stay there until she calmed down completely. After a few minutes, Etihw was able to compose herself and reassure Kcalb she was fine.
"Kcalb... I think I'm okay now... I'll head to my room" She told him lightly. She didn't want to bother him any longer. She already disturbed his slumber, she didn't want to trouble him more.
"If that's the case... Let me walk you to your room" Kcalb offered. Ethiw only nodded and soon they both got up and began walking. Kcalb was still thinking about the whole fiasco that had happened. He was deeply worried over Etihw. He wanted the happy-go-lucky Etihw back.
"Look at this devil, bringing me to my room. How smooth~" Etihw teased.
Kcalb looked at her to see her smiling self again. He only sighed at the joke. He was annoyed sure, but he was mostly glad to see the Etihw he knew back.
When they arrived infront of Etihw's room, the god turned to the devil, who was still looking over her worriedly.
She gave a light smile and opened the door to her room.
Kcalb was about to leave to prepare for the day ahead. However he turned back to her to say something.
"Eti... Take a day off today. You need to rest after all that has happened. I'll take on your paperwork for the day. " Kcalb told her sincerly.
The god was a bit surprised at what the devil has offered her. She gently shook her head.
"Kcalb, thank you, but you don't have to go such lengths... I'll be fine in a few minutes. "
"It's fine Eti, you need to rest. I'll handle it. "
"Well... If you insist" The god sighed in defeat smiling.
"I'll go ahead now, I'll check on you later" Kcalb told her, preparing to leave.
Etihw nodded then turned to her room, but suddenly turned back. She called Kcalb's name and when he turned around, she planted a kiss on the devil's cheek. Kcalb's snow white skin turned into a deep scarlet almost instantly and and his eyes turned black from embarrassment, which Etihw only laughed at. She only smiled in his direction and sent him off.
As Etihw closed the door, Kcalb only speed walked away, still blushing scarlet. He touched the place where Ethiw had planted the kiss and soon his scarlet blush grew ashade darker that he didn't know existed. He started sprinting down the hallway, covering his face with one hand and ignoring everyone he passed, including Grora and the demon cats Ater and Arbus. When he reached the office room he quickly closed the door behind him and let his blush over come him.
