This city was a large place. Fabia couldnt comprehend why all these people would live here. Too many strangers in one place. There wasn't enough trust here. People had all sorts of motives and professions here and yet know nothing of each other. Well its not like everybody in a small town knows each other. Fabia didn't like big cities because they were gems to theives. She believed she worked too hard on her belongings to get stolen by some low life.
Only a few things make her stop by in a large city. One was for shelter at an inn, shopping, a job request, and possibly research. The civilians could keep this dirty place all they want. Fabia walked along a crowded market street. Fabia already checked herself at an inn down the street. Shes been checking stores to see if she spots anything she might want to buy. So far she spent nothing, not finding anything she wanted to buy.
All these shops and not a single good item or at least to her. Fabia spotted a humble looking cafe and decided to take a break. She stepped in and took a seat in a corner table located next to a window. She was handed a menu by a waiter. She felt like wanting to nibble on something sweet. She ordered a few pastries and chamomile tea. She sat their staring out the window waiting for order to arrive. She wasn't sure what she would do for the day. She blankly stared out the window at the passing people on the street.

Right when Fabia started to get settled in, a loud roar was heard outside... A demon with symbols running down his arm and the Spirit Zanbato tightly grasped in his hand was rampaging a few buildings from the Cafe`. Destroying everything he could and slaughtering helpless people.
Baron, the Demon Knight, had his chains taken off from his arm yet again... and it happened not too far from there. Baron's chains could be seen on the chair across the table from Fabia...

Fabia continued to stare blankly out from the window before her. She noticed the waiter had arrived and set down a plate of cookies with a sliver of cake. The cake had some beautiful frosting made up of sky blue, lavender and spring green decoration while the cake was snow white itself. The waiter said he would return with her tea. She began to nibble on one of the cookies. It was deliciously sweet and crispy with yet a sweet center and a nice bitter aftertaste. Next she went for some of the cake which was elegantly delightful as it was somehow fluffy. The cake’s frosting was tasted as lovely as it was beautiful.
The waiter returned with the tea as she was about to take another take on the cake. Just as he was about to hand over her the cup of chamomile tea a loud rare bellowed through the café. The waiter jumped and spilled the tea on her. The spilt tea made her accidentally drop her forked cake on her lap. Fabia stared blankly at her now ruined dress covered in tea and frosting. The tea mainly was spilt on her face but it also got on the dress. The waiter realizing his actions repeatedly apologized for the incident. Fabia kept looking for something to dry herself off with. Her eye caught notice of the chains from across her table. For a second she thought it was an odd place for chains yet vaguely familiar. The thought vanished when the waiter handed her a towel. Random patrons from the store kept rushing out of the store. As she cleaned herself she heard a lot of yells and noises from outside.
It was really distracting. She headed out to see the commotion. “People what has to be so important to make such a ruck…us” As she stepped out she saw a glimpse of what was going on. People were everywhere and in her way of vision. She ran closer to the source. As she got closer she saw a demon rampaging through the streets. She recognized it too. It was Baron. Then does that mean that the chains from the café were his? Why were they off? Her right hand reached for her sword on her back instinctively only to not feel the hilt of her sword. She then remembered she left her sword in her room at the inn. She went back in the inn and grabbed the chains then ran towards Baron. She only had one plan.”Baron!” she yelled. She blew out a pink powdered substance at him as she ran. It was her special pheromone powder spell. She knew that she looked like somebody from his past. Her similarties is what stopped Baron last time. Maybe if she ran up to him after he breathed her powder he would stop like last time. She only hoped it would work.

Just as Baron was about to behead an elderly woman against a building wall, a cloud of powder spurted into his face, filling his nostrils with the sweet scent. When he looked torwards the source, he saw Fabia a few feet away from him.
The sight of her in combination with the powder brought back memories of love... and loss. The flashbacks were overwhelming enough to stop Baron. As his Demon form painfully sunk back within him, he fell unconcious as he does whenever this happens... with a tear running down his face.

Baron turned towards Fabia and he actually started to revert back to normal. She actually managed to save him. She felt happy and relieved that this worked. She ran towards him and put the chains back on him. After the last time she watched how putting them back on was done. Fabia looked around. People noticed that the demon was gone. She put Baron inter her arm almost cradling him. She spun her other arms around created an outward circular gust. She picked him up and ran off with him. He wasn’t the lightest thing to carry but he wasn’t that heavy either.
She covered his head with her hair and veil. She brought him back to the inn and went into her room. She only had one bed room obviously baron needed it more. She set him down on the bed and put the covers over him. She locked the door because she didn’t want anybody to disturb. Thankfully she had a chair to sit on which was a part of the room’s desk area. She dragged the chair in front of the bed and sat in it facing baron. She had no clue when he would wake. She was glad her similarity with the woman from his past and her pheromone powder was enough to work. She cupped her face with her hands. It actually worked she was so glad. If he woke up now the pheromone powder would still be in effect she thought. She blushed while rocking her head. All she wanted to do now was wait for him. Most thoughts about him made her blush and rock her head though.

It took a few hours this time, but Baron awoke in an unfamiliar room... but not everything in the room was unfamiliar. When he looked around, he found Fabia sitting in a chair next to the bed he was in...
"Fabia...? Where am I?"

Waiting for Baron to wake up was exceedingly long. It could take him until the morning to wake. If it came to that she decided she sleep on the chair. She stayed by his side usually. She got up one point to polish her sword to pass the time. She left one other point again to use the bathroom. Other then those moments she sat in the chair. She listened for anything about the incident from before. So far she heard nothing. She considered it a relief. It would be a really big hassle should somebody have followed her to the inn back then.
Baron was making any signs of hardships so that was good. Her mind wandered off back to the café. She realized she skipped to pay because of Baron. She considered it justified after that spill. It’s not like there’s café police. Baron woke up while she was thinking about this. She didn’t even notice his movement until he asked her where he was. She smiled “Don’t worry your safe. We’re in a room I checked out earlier.” She was glad he was doing better. She chose her words carefully not wanting to bring up the incident unless he did.”How are you feeling? I can get you anything you need” she asked trying to help.

"I... need to go. I shouldn't be in the city, or people might get hurt... and thank you for your hospitality."
Baron took off the covers and started to get up...

Baron said a few words and was already trying to leave. Fabia stood up and try to block him from getting out of bed.”Baron you can’t leave just now. You might not be well enough yet. Your fine even in the cities you don’t have to worry. As long as you have those chains you shouldn’t have to worry. Your fine because I put them on.” She tried her hardest to make up excuses for him to stay here. He worried about others because of this curse. More importantly though he felt different then everyone and he secluded himself from society on purpose.
She didn’t like to see that. He didn’t have to run away from people. She wanted him to stay also so he could feel normal. Having somebody by his side is what she felt like he needed. Since the last she saw of him she thought about this. She wanted to help him but didn’t know how. She concluded the best way was to be around him and assure him being near people isn’t that bad. Fabia opened her arms and hugged him. “It’s fine to let people in your heart Baron.” She let go of him.”If you really can’t stay here. I’m coming with you. You kind of owe me since I got tea and cake spilled on me because of you.” She tried to make that last line into a joke. She was really hoping he’d change his mind and rest up though.”I’d still like it if you rest Baron. I paid for this room so I’d like that money to not be wasted.” She said hoping to persuade him.

Baron felt the warmth of the hug on his body... it was a nice feeling, something he hasn't felt for quite awhile in years. Plus he still had a lil of that powder left in him. When he began to realize the effects of the powder in him, he only wanted to leave more. He would hate to see her get hurt.
Then Fabia mentioned how he'll be fine within the city, and even made a joke about when she got cake spilt on her.
"Heh..." Baron let out a slight chuckle at at the joke. Also from what he heard it sounded like his chains somehow got off again. "Fine, I'll stay.... but only for a night. It won't be long until people start to notice they have a Demon Knight in their city, I probably even have at least 5 different wanted posters up around the planet."

Fabia heard him chuckle at her joke. She smiled glad it worked. Then Baron said he’d stay. That made her overjoyed to here. She giggled.”Oooo five posters around the world. Well these big bad posters could be in other lands. We should be safe here with the big crowd.” Fabia teased Baron. She walked around to the other side of the room to a light brown dresser and opened a drawer. She took a bag out that jingled.”Well you should probably rest and stay hidden. I’d worry more about the people that would recognize you from earlier. Rather than scattered posters. How about I bring us up some dinner? Then afterwards we can chat, rest for the night and head out tomorrow. What would you like?” implying she would buy the food. Now that he was here she might as well make the most of it.

"Haven't eaten all week, so it sounds goo--URGH!" Right when Baron replied to Fabia, his Cursed Arm started to spread to his face and to his eye as a result from his last transformation. It was as though the blood red color on his body traveled through his blood vessels, making it quite painful. His left eye is now a deep evil glowing yellow color... with no pupils and no irises.
When the spreading finished, he simply replied...
"Food would be nice..."

Fabia watched as Baron was in pain because of that arm. There was nothing she could do about it. The most she could do was hold him down if it got too bad. When he finally seemed to calm down one of his eyes seemed different than usual. She figured it was a result from what happened. “Ok I will be back then. Stay here and get back under those covers until I return please.” she left the room and closed the door. She headed down to the inn where food was served and ordered a couple of meals. They insisted they could send the meals to the room. She couldn’t afford having Baron being spotted. It was a pain but she got it to them that she wanted to bring it up instead.
She sat on a stool at the bar. She had to wait a bit before her order came. She thought the cursed arm on Baron. It seemed to get worse. Fabia didn’t think he was aware of those chains getting off. He needs help finding a cure for this. She knew he was already traveling the lands for that. She didn’t have any jobs right now. She only came to the city for shelter for the night. Perhaps it might be better if she helped him. Two people are better than one. She would like him to be better so he wouldn’t have to feel so insecure. She waited for around ten to fifteen minutes before the meal arrived on tray which she asked for.
Fabia handed payment over and took the tray. As she walked back with the food she wondered how baron was doing while she was gone. She carefully tried to hold the tray with one hand and open the door with the other. As soon as she got the door open she secured the tray with her second hand.”I’m back.” she said quietly not wanting others to overhear.

"Thank you, Fabia." Baron eye'd the food hungrily. It looked delicious, smelled delicious, and it was filled with Beef and Potatoes. What more could he ask for?
When he was handed the tray, Baron immediatly dug in. He had no idea how hungry he was until now...

Fabia handed over barons portion. As soon as she did he started eating immediately. She chuckled”Slow down try and enjoy it not inhale it. The same result will be the filling feeling.” She said in a light tone. She took her plate to the table and set it down. She grabbed the chair from in front of the bed and put it to the desk and sat down. She didn’t know what baron wanted so she ordered two different plates. He already took his plate. So she began taking bites out of the rosemary turkey and rice on her plate.“So do you know where your headed after here? I think we should head to Minervum. The library there is quite large. It’s very useful for research.” she took another bite of her food. She figured a large library would help him best especially that place in particular.
