Red shrugged and followed Vanitas. "Sug, you gotta accept help" she said quietly. A creature lunged at Vanitas and Red shot it between the eyes. "What's yer friend gonna do wi'out ya? I promise, I ain't gonna do nothin, long as you let me help ya"

"I don't have to accept anything from you." Vanitas retorted. "I was doing just fine before you showed up."
He had been killing. Just releasing nearly a year of pent up anger and frustration out on every demon that crossed his path. Vanitas didn't do emotions. He didn't talk about them. They weren't going to sit and talk this out. There would be no happy hugs or singing songs about love or friendship. He just wanted to figure out how this person knew he had someone special in his life and why try were so hell bent on making him talk about it.

Red rolled her eyes. "You woulda burnt out an gotten hurt bein so reckless" She summoned some spirits to aid a group of kids cowering behind some rubble. "It's betta to team up an deal wi this in groups than shuttin everyone out an losin possible allies" Naveen shook his head.
"We aren't getting anywhere with this back and forth Rachel, it's probably best to move on and leave him to his own devices"

"No one cares about demons." Vanitas sneered. "What makes you any different?"
No one helped demons. They would much rather spit on them or blame all their problems on demons. Even now, people were running from him thinking he was among the demons attacking the city. Despite the fact that he was clearly attacking the demons attacking the people. He would never fit in with them. Never. So he wasn't about to let his guard down.

Red snorted. "I summon demons kiddo, lesser imps an the like. I treat my summons right. I respect em an they respect me. I think th way you lot are treated after that incident those years ago is stupid. I just fight the ones that make trouble. Once, that was you. But, you seem to be trying to change. So I'm gonna try an help ya do what's right an good an be yer back-up, kay?" her eyes grew dark. "I was hated by m'own family. It's only right I try to help people not liked by society"

"Yeah well I'm not in a contract with you. Not going to either."
He turned to look out onto the street. Bare. No creatures around for as far as the eye could see. He grimaced. He wanted to keep fighting, perhaps even more now that this woman and her... whatever the guy was... were annoying him. He sighed before turning to face her. He didn't feel like he had any common ground with her but she was dead set on trying to get him to open up about himself.

"I don' want a contract, not wi' you an not wi' any of em runnin round. I'm just sayin I respect yer kind when they ain't tryin ta kill me fer no good reason an refuse to see sense" she raised an eyebrow. "You gonna talk ta me then? Gonna tell me what's got you so twisted?"

"Nothing has got me twisted." Vanitas retorted. "I was just out doing the only thing I'm good at until you showed up."
He was a wanted man for escaping prison. For killing, namely his cop killing. He was a fighter. He got out any of his problems through shows of aggression. It was what worked best for him, at least until his most recent turn of events. Now he was stuck depending on Moses for safety. Part of him recoiled in disgust at the thought of relying on anyone.

Red gave him a look. "You were not born this way lovie. Not even the devil himself was born as awful as he is. Our choices an our circumstances made us who we are. An somethin surely got ya twisted inta th boy you are today" She sighed. "Okay, so all you're good at is killin. Ever tried bein a pest exterminator? You'd be the bane of all th rats in this town" she said with some gentle humor. "Ya needa get yer act togetha. Anger only gets ya so far"

"You know who I am... I'd never be able to get hired. More like arrested on the spot."
He had messed things up for himself. That much he knew. Because he couldn't stop the need to fight, he had ended up attacking the wrong people and making enemies he could have avoided had he more impulse control. He killed a cop (along with a great number of people) and had been arrested for it. Now he was a wanted man. So 'doing good' and killing 'pests' like the demons wasn't going to put him in anyone's good graces. He was just a killer through and through. The person could have been died after suffering so much abuse in the labs. After he saw the true nature of humans...

She snorted. "If you get noticed here, doin good, mebbe I can see if I can getcha a job as a bounty hunter. Yer skills would be greatly suited for somethin like that, y'know?" she laughed and shook her head. "An I'm offerin cuz I see a bit of meself in you" She gave him a winning smile. "I ain't gettin any younger. Might as well get an apprentice an leave it ta them"

Vanitas openly stared at her, perhaps even giving a slow blink. His mind was sluggish to process her suggestion. Work? As a bounty hunter? A criminal hunting other criminals. It would be a job he could do what he was good at and maybe even something Moses would approve of. It would be on the right side of the law after all. However, he was being the logical one there. Good at what he did or not, he had a criminal record. No one in the city would vouch for him aside from Moses and considering the fact Moses had been harboring him for the last year, it wouldn't be good enough.
"I doubt that your job would expunge my records. I'm a wanted cop killer." Vanitas reminded her.

She waved a dismissive hand. "I was accused of killin m brotha. An I guess I sorta did. An here I am, not in jail an takin out baddies worse'n me. I don' see a problem. It'd keep ya outta trouble, you'd be keepin scum offa th' streets, it's a win-win, if we get th cops ta see it that way, a course" She smiled at him, both of them drenched in blood and sauntered away. "You comin or what? I hear screamin this a way"

Vanitas couldn't help but stare after her as she started to walk away. What a strange human... Most others didn't see it that way. Not by a long shot. They looked at him and saw the monster in the closet come to terrify them. Granted, a lot of people hadn't been finding him intimidating lately. It wasn't like news of his bed partner was leaking across the city. Perhaps it was the fact he had gotten caught, even if he had gotten away. No one seemed to think him of the big bad demon that went around killing cops in cold blood. Perhaps it was because Moses treated him like the puppy that messed on the floor.
"Yeah, whatever, we make it through this and I might consider your offer." he said, trailing behind her.

"You don't really have a choice, darlin" She said with a shrug. "It's th only way you can get back inta society, an actually make a legitimate earning wi'out bein pegged for illegal activity" She smiled back at him. "Don'cha wanna do good fer once in yer life?" They got to the area the screaming was coming from and Red rubbed her hands together. "Okay, let's get crackin honey"
