A/N- In my mind, whenever a naturally warm creature (such as a demon) gets a fever, they get colder, and when they have a cold, they get warmer. Just a little hint to help clear things up.

Gilbert smirks as the angels look around in confusion and then he moves Heidi, Alice, and him to a different field to talk. When they get their bearings, he shoves the palm of his hand in Heidi's face. "Explain."

"Explain what?"

"Why?" He pulls his hand away angrily.

"Look I'm just following vati's orders."

Gilbert grinds his teeth, places a hand on Alice to transport her to her home, and then crouches on the ground. "Why does vati hate me?"

"He doesn't hate you Gil."

Gilbert mutters bitterly. "Sure… It's not my fault I'm a devil… So why not embrace the way I was born?"

Heidi bites her lip, thinking about how she's the heir to the throne. Gilbert sneers, his eyes reflecting flames, "But I'm just a lowly devil, what do I know? No one cares unless I cause trouble up here."

"We do care about you Gil. We just want to keep the peace."

Gilbert ignores Heidi and makes a flame in his upturned palm. "Do you have ice magic? If angels are opposite of devils and we have flames…"

Heidi crouches in front of Gilbert. "Yes we do have ice magic." She creates an ice crystal in one hand, "But we also have light." She creates and orb of light in the other.

Gilbert stares at the orb, and then touches it, turning it an inky black.

Heidi gets rid of the orb. "Because we have light then you have dark."

"What if I broke the covent? Would everyone still hate me?"

"I'm sure everyone would like you then."

"Breaking them is harder then making them. And painful. Plus I lose my powers for a day…"

"Then you'll have to live like a human for a day."

Gilbert bites his lip so hard he breaks skin and winces.

"You do know how to break it right?"

Gilbert nods weakly and mutters, "It's broken" before passing out. Heidi catches him, "You need your rest Gil." She sighs and flies him to the palace.

At the palace, wary angels, repeating the same words, keep stopping Heidi.

"What is he doing he?"

"He needed help."

King Alaric glares coldly at Gilbert when Heidi presents Gilbert to him. "Why is he here?"

"He broke the covent so therefore he is weak."

"Why?"

"He wanted to be accepted. Don't banish him please."

"Keep it in the guest room, far away from this room."

Heidi nods and takes him there, realizing he's very cold. Colder then a demon should be. "Great, he's sick. I don't know how to help him. Ludwig?"

Ludwig appears along with the scent of brimstone, "You summoned?"

"Help Gil."

"He has a fever."

"So? Help him."

Ludwig nods and places a few hot coals on and around Gilbert's body. "That should do it. He was too cold."

A few hours later Gilbert wakes up. Heidi returns from eavesdropping on King Alaric telling the guards to keep an eye on him. "You're awake."

"Yeah." He stares sadly at his hand. "No fire…"

"You'll be fine."

He signs and rests his head on his knees, "It hurt really bad… I guess I'm just a human now." He rubs his horn regretfully. "Does vati care about me?"

"I don't know."

He slams his hand against the wall. "Probably doesn't."

"Gil. Relax. Do you want to see Alice?"

He looks up happily, "Yes!"

"Alright."
