Radio's Angel (Alastor x Emily)

Alastor

With the battle finally ended everyone was starting to return to their normal selves.

Well, almost everyone.

The cyclops was putting on a brave face for the others, but I could see through such a weak façade. The serpents death seems to have taken it's toll on her.

Angel seemed to notice too but she refused to admit it.

I went to my newly refurbished tower. I do quite like the upgrade, but admiring it would have to wait.

"Urgh! Blasted wound!" I was barely able to close the door behind me before falling into my chair.

I removed my jacket and shirt to inspect it again. The infernal thing was still glowing with holy light. It felt like it was burning into me but I knew it wasn't spreading. I made sure of that.

"That arrogant little fiend! To think I would be bested by the likes of him!"

I screamed as the pain flared suddenly.

*closing my eyes and trying to calm myself* "Just ignore it till it fades. It's just a minor inconvenience."

I hear a knock at my door followed by the princesses concerned voice.

"Al? Are you alright in there? We heard screaming and-"

I get dressed and open the door to stop her before she continues rambling.

"Charlie my dear! I'm just right as rain! Hahaha! Perhaps you should be more worried about the cyclops than me. Poor thing looks like she's about to fall apart."

The princess eyes me, but I'm no novice to masks. Mine is perfect.

*turns to leave* "Okay Al, but I'm always here for you. We all are."

"Of course my dear. I rely on you all to do your very best to be quite entertaining!"

I close my door and sit back down.

"This is starting to get worse" I snap my clothes away and see the wound actually widened a hair.

"That's impossible! My powers stopped it! This infernal thing just won't stop!" I watch my voice to avoid another lecture from the princess.

"How long will I have to put up with this blasted thing?!" I begin to bandage it as best I can before dressing myself again and heading down stairs.

Everyone is in a more somber mood now, not very entertaining. No laughs, crying, fighting. 

"How unamusing." I mutter as I make my way to Husker.

He looks up and frowns when he sees me. "What do you want?"

"Now Husker, is that any way to address a dear friend of yours?"

He just rolls his eyes at me. I take a seat at the bar, hoping to catch something entertaining.

"So my good man, anything happen in my absence?"

"Nah. Just Angel trying to help Cherry with Pentious' death."

I turn to see what husker was talking about. The cyclops was sobbing as the spider tried to cheer her up.

"Hmm, it would appear that tonight's entertainment is in short supply and poor taste. I bid you goodnight my good man!" I teleport back to my tower to properly examine it.

Everything is quite well put together. I notice a rubber duck sitting in one corner with a note.

"Hmm, what could you be?" I walk over and read it

"Go fuck yourself"

I crumple and burn the note. I take the duck and toss it in the bin.

"How immature for a king. The nights falling quickly now. I'll get to work on the hotel again tomorrow."
