As Natan's hand lowers to his side, Semael is unceremoniously dropped the eight inches to the floor. His fighter's instinct kicks in and he deftly catches his balance just after landing, bending his knees to avoid the jarring impact. Semael sheathes his sword and dismisses his armor as a show of good intent, banishing it to nothingness with the mutter of a holy keyword, his cape and tunic settling down to his skin with a slight rustle.
The area around Semael's eyes is already turning dark as the bruises settle around his broken nose, making him look like a harlot with far too much makeup. As he begins to speak his voice takes on a nasal tone thanks to the clots in his sinuses. This is going to be far from the regal, composed demeanor Semael usually likes to keep. Perhaps that will be for the best at this point. Hopefully Natan will enjoy the humanity in the normally stoic Deva.
Semael begins to explain the situation. While he is deeply irritated with the wild goose chase Ruby had set them on, and the nearly deadly consequences for himself and the Sharugs, he emphasizes the humor and good intentions of the situation. Perhaps this show of interest in the well-being of the Sharugs will help Natan allow Semael and his party into his circle of trust.
During the explanation, Anders can't help but let out a chuckle here and there further helping to calm his son. Every time Semael looks at Anders he is smirking and looking at Semael's still swollen and bloody nose. When he gets to the point of the story of being knocked out, Anders is eager to take over the narration, accentuating the way Semael flopped to the ground after the strike from the massive door.
Anders can barely explain the scene when Neh-Tohon came through the door. He puts on his most bewildered face, trying to mock Neh-Tohon's incredulity at seeing Semael on the floor. Anders is so caught with his telling of the story that he is laughing and making other incoherent sounds from his mouth while communicating the words through the pendant.
Finally, Anders gets to the part where Willis entered the shop. Rather than cut Anders off, Semael let's him finish the story, surprised and pleased by the positive light Anders casts on him. At the end of the story Anders is still chuckling about the Guard Captain badge and the look on Willis' face as he stumbled out the door.
When he's completely finished, Semael pulls out his money bag, placing several gold on the counter. "I assure you that door took no damage, but you may want to check the hinges to ensure they are still in good shape. This money should cover the damage I did to the front door, and any other damage to the shop. I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and hope your head heals fully in short order Natan." Semael says in all humility.
"We will be keeping an eye on Willis to see if he has any ill intentions as a result of today. If you see any trouble whatsoever, please come to us in our official capacity as guard captains. The more there is on the record against those that are harrassing you, the better chance we have of cleaning things up."
"As for the other business, my friends and I are planning to do some more looking at the shop next door. It may take some time to figure that all out, and I would ask that you be patient with us. We plan to take it slow so as not to cause alarm. It's already obvious that it is not what it appears to be."
Semael pauses, looking for a reaction. Getting none, he continues, "If you have any further information about it, or could clue us in as to why it must be the shop next door, which isn't for sale, then that would certainly help us out, otherwise, we'll be on our way for now. We'll be checking in regularly to ensure you are ok, if that's alright with you."
