Her eyes narrowed at the human’s playfulness. If this was intended to be some kind of joke, it was not humorous to her, and she would only frown in response as she moved along with them. Salt? Loudness? What is it that this human was speaking about?
It wasn’t until she stepped through the doorway did it hit her. The jorogumo came to a stop suddenly, all eyes locked on that sky. The sun. The clouds. Things she had not seen in years, so long in fact that this almost felt like some cruel dream that she was bound to wake from in any moment. For once she was out. Free.
And it startled her into frozen silence as she took it in.
When she finally found words they came in a hissed whisper.
* What is this? Where have you taken me?
Angel couldn’t really fault Sachiko for being suspicious of the entire foray. He had been rather… secretive about the entire situation, after all. Angel follows Sachiko, and closes the door behind him. She may note that this side of the door is not the wooden one that led to her office.
A wide walkway runs perpendicular to the doorway that they’d exited from, and across from them, a steel railing runs over planes of glass. Angel walks forwards and leans on it. Their gaze is cast over his shoulder, to the hissing monster.
* Not a prank, but a present.
* Bending the rules a little to offer you a reprieve that you could not have elsewhere.
* Again, a gift, for what you’d done for me.
They take a deep breath, taking in the rolling waves, crashing into the cavern. There’s a peaceful smile on their expression.
* …Well, I promised you dinner.
* The offer still stands, but if you want to ask questions about what I’ve done here, you know I try my best to be fair, Lady Sachiko.
An eye opens, as Angel looks out towards the sun, hovering a bit forwards, in front of them, in the sky. For only a moment, his smile fades.
* But, and I must stress this. I cannot answer everything. To do so would be to invite certain destruction, and to cause the world to collapse in on itself.
A second later, the grin’s back, and Angel turns around, leaning their back against the railing, and smiling at his guest.
* So, I’ll be the responsible one, and keep you from that dangerous information, alright?
