His voice was ever so slightly scratchy, which revealed that he was holding back tears. Cameron saw drops of blood stabbing at Knox's tear ducts as he continued to stare at his food. "You seem...distressed as we discuss this topic. Maybe we should change it—" "I'm fine!" Knox said, cutting Cameron off. There was a slight moment of awkward silence, before Cameron broke it again. "W-well...alright then. If I may ask, then, will Abaddon have a right hand demon just as Satan does?" He asked.

".....Yes." Knox answered. "Do you know who it's going to be?" Cameron asked further. ".......Yeah." Knox answered, his voice a bit quieter than before. "....I am afraid to ask this, but my curiosity will kill me. Who....will the demon be?" Cameron pushed. Knox was silent for a good while, staring at his plate, before finally speaking. "Me....." he mumbled. Cameron's eyes widened as he understood why Knox was so upset over this. He had been with Satan since he was a young demon, and even though Satan has multiple demons at his beck and call, Knox shared a bond with him like no other.

Cameron wasn't sure if Knox was ever vulnerable with Satan, because he knew him to be an arrogant piece of shit, but some softness shone through every once in a blue moon. This was one of those times. "Knox.....I understand why you'd be distraught over this. Maybe not fully, but I understand enough to know that you and Satan are close. If you didn't like this decision, why didn't you bring it up to him?" Cameron asked. Knox slammed the table in sudden aggression.

"IM NOT A FUCKIN SOFTIE, CAM! SATAN MADE A CHOICE, THATS HOW IT GOES! I deal with whatever decree the dude makes, and I don't question it. It's not my place. Sure, I'm gonna miss being by his side, but what am I supposed to do? I can't just argue with him about it. Clearly he knows what he's doing, even if it fucking hurts like hell for me!" Knox yelled, his tears breaking through and slowly dripping down his face. "Knox, you jackass." A sudden voice said.

Knox's eyes widened as he immediately recognized the voice. "You come to me about EVERYTHING UNDER THE BLAZING SUN, yet this you hesitate to talk to about?" He said. "Satan....I can't argue with your decisions. You know I never question them, fight back, or resist. I do what I'm told and we talk when we talk. This isn't important. You should just go." Knox said, not turning around to face his King.
