Victoria shifts her weight. She recognizes Valen from Xylina's......incident. She wonders again what the purpose of this is. She doesn't see Xander anywhere.

Valen walks over to where Victoria is. He had started his transformation a few seconds ago. So his body was turning darker and darker, while he grew longer and sharper nails, his teeth were growing at an exponential rate, and he was growing taller.

Xylina slowly walked in a circle around Ikusa with a smirk, her hands behind her back, "So, Ikusa. What is it that makes you strong? Powerful? What are you?" Xylina squinted at him, her eyes went black and her shadow twitched, "There's something in you that is very powerful...is there?"

Victoria stood her ground. From her first impression of Valen, she thought he was an ok guy. He seemed decent to her and he was kind to Xylina. She looked toward her sister remembering the incedent in Xylina's lab. She looked back to Valen with a critical expression to hide her fear. She didn't want him to know she was a little afraid. She doubted her judgement of him for a bit, but shook some of it off. Until he hurt her, he was a good person. She willed herself to relax a bit, but not too much.

Ikusa watches Xylina circle. An errie, calculating look, to say the least. "What makes me powerful? Perhaps it is the fact that I can eat many, many pancakes in one sitting?" He giggled. "Power is not something I think of...my time is more consisted of thinking on ways to eat the pancakes...do I just cut them up and gobble them down..or do I slowly cut a piece of them away..and saturate them in the syrup surrounding them..then do I slowly chew it inside my mouth. I don't know really...perhaps..you should decide?" His eyes relax slightly, but he gives a smile that reflects the cruel, sadistic intent the pancake metaphor had behind it. Sure, he's insane..so..he couldn't possibly have put that metaphor togther...perhaps it was just coincedence that the metaphore had a sadistic second meaning..but..who knows..

He stood over Victoria. "Your sister said you needed to know what a demon is." He said his voice was now dark and rough. "...and now you see for yourself the King of Demons" He raised hsi hand stoicaly as he said his title it meant little in his regards.

Xylina stares at him her shadow twitches and seems to strain under of her unstability, "Interesting. I think I can help you." She smirked at him, but it quickly turned to a frown as a pain shot through her. She let out a scream. SHe put a hand on the tree trying to stay balanced, a hand flew to the small bump of her stomach. Her knees wobbled and her eyes went from black to red, to blue then back to red. She let out another scream but muffled it into her sleeve.

Ikusa shows no alarm to her screaming, in fact, he enjoyed it. He smiled and started to giggle lightly. "Hmm..seems you are pain...I shall wait then.." He simple stares at Xylina as she has her episode.
