He can't deny that Ruby told him things about her past that would turn him
away from her if she didn't have the potential for change. He scoffs at
Astaroth's statement because the point is that Ruby isn't the same as she
was. Nothing could freeze his feelings for her now. "Which is exactly why
you will never understand." What he means by that exactly is everything
between having a connection with Ruby and in between. He watches her pick
up the ring that signifies his greatest promise to Ruby and pocket it. He
can't stomach that her little grubby hands are on it. One thing he can do
is make it clear that taking the ring changes nothing by the daggers in his
eyes. "Then clearly you need your eyes checked." Though later he might look
at if Eileen has something for him with new lenses. He won't believe it out
of the mouth of her
She should never have to make a deal for him. There's no way he's letting
her hand herself over more to Astaroth and that could even mean if he deals
first. Their anniversary is only around the corner but this doesn't make a
very good anniversary date. It wasn't his intention to start a quick fire
so close to them. But he does see the advantages of it and flings the
embers wildly at Astaroth as she rushes him for cover or time. He's less
afraid of burning himself given the situation. Fortunately, the flames
allow him to free one of his tied wrists so he can fiddle with and loosen
his other bounds. The fire wall that is thrust between Astaroth and him
does remain his key focus.
He hears Ruby shout from the distance; it encourages him to try making a
ring around Astaroth unnoticed. The winner will be who has the stronger
will or who has more smarts. His gaze flickers between Astaroth and the
more important Ruby. "I'm coming to you. Stay where you are," he calls
to her. In a reckless move, he pushes the fire one more time at Astaroth
before darting to the side to go around to gather up Ruby. Like facing a
bear in the wild, his back is never turned to the big bad demon.
