The short demon quietly walked through the border of the woods, looking from side to side as calmly as he could in this situation. He had overheard a couple of cult members talking about making patrols around the forest to see if they could find their missing friends, he has taken that idea into looking for any cultists that had been injured. He may not be physically imposing but he could always help people escape.
The sound of snapping twigs underfoot caught Stars attention in an instant, turning quickly to the direction of the sound and drawing his bow.
"Can I help you?"

Opting to spend the majority of his time in the cover of the trees, Eiyole had found himself wandering closer tot he edge of the forest, where the vines actively threatened the manor. He kept where he stayed hidden, silently cursing the flame attached to him and doing his best to keep it spread out and dim; lining the surface it can travel effectively made it lie low.
Eventually, he spotted a figure. Upon getting silently closer, he noticed that figure was much smaller than he was. A familiar face, must have seen them around before. He focused too hard on trying to figure out who they were, and snapped a few twigs under his feet as he crept closer. Cursing under his breath, he stood upright when he was confirmed to be caught, letting his eyes flash as he darted to a different spot in the trees. Staring and lashing his tail.
"Funny. I would've asked you the same," he hissed, making sure there was something between the bulk of his body and the line of the drawn bow. "Tell me; you wouldn't happen to be protecting the mansion?"

Star shuffled in place, taking a more defensive pose. He was certain the person he had met with had a demonic aura, he just hoped this wasn't going to end with him in the dirt.
"Not particularly, but I am protecting the people inside, if that's what you meant."
His tone was void of emotion, narrowing his eyes in the dim forest. If he knew where to aim it would make him feel a bit more safe.
He was sure someone would come to his aid if need be, but he still wasn't particularly fawn of fighting in the first place.
"I'm guessing you're not trying to kick the horse if you're prowling the forest?"

Narrowing his own eyes to slits, Eiyole moved again, back to near where he was originally, still lashing his tail. His flame, by now, has gotten agitated, flaring up a bit more to provide an inconvenient outline of his form, even in the dark. Great.
"Now why would I hurt such a lovely creature like that? Seems cruel to me, don't you think?"
Moving again, he darts his way out of the trees and gets within close range, coming in from the side and drawing a fist back to try and land a blow, half-slash and half-punch.

At least with a glow from a flame he knew where to aim before Eiyole came dashing out at him. He fired a messily aimed arrow at the rapidly approaching demon, quickly trying to dodge, but still getting a splatter of blood from his own face. This wasn't going to go well for him.
Star took a few steps back, trying to get out of range from his attacker. His hand drawing another arrow from his back quiver.
"Well I'm not sure if you've noticed, but shes kinda trying to tear down our home and our leader."

Not entirely able to fold his wings properly in combat, the taller found himself letting out a short snarl when the arrow managed to shoot through the membrane of his left appendage. It began regenerating immediately, but not quickly, too agitated by his continued movements, and an experimental flap confirms that he's grounded.
"What do I care? I have no attachment to this place. The forest would probably be better without it."
At the very least, he has the satisfaction of feeling blood on his claws. While he can't take the air, that may be for the best. Taking another few steps to the side, he goes back in, closing the distance between them and trying to take a swipe at his shins with the bladed end of his tail. Briefly crouched on all fours, he blinks two of his eyes out of turn and lets his flame gather and flare at the bases of his wings.

Star gave a sneer, not impressed with his attackers attitude in the slightest.
"ah, you're one of those people. I don't feel as bad about your wing then."
He jumped out of the way of Eiyole's tail, only having grazed his dress pants slightly. He may be horrible at fighting but he wasn't bad at offensive. He drew his bow and fired another arrow, aiming more for his body this time.

Hissing and taking a more mobile stance, he claws catch the ground when he tries to dodge, keeping him from avoiding the arrow in time. It strikes and sticks into his side, sliding between two ribs but not too far. Glaring at it for barely a moment, he turns his snarl back to the demon in front of him and lashes his tail.
Instead of responding, he opts to lunge again, this time taking his size as an advantage and aiming to pin the smaller creature. Throwing a few more well-centered blows to his face and stomach in the process.

The lunge had caught Star off guard, and suddenly his head hit the forest floor with a sharp pain. Growling he struggled under the larger demon, trying to kick him off, or really anything. His weak figure really wasn't helping him at all today.
he let out a quiet grunt when Eiyole's fist met with his face, snarling at him. That would leave a black eye for sure.
"Didn't take you as the super forward type-"
He gave another attempt at kicking him off, tail lashing underneath him.

Now decidedly firmly in place, Eiyole worked on making sure he was pinned, blinking each eye at the smaller. One at a time. The very tip of his gradiented tongue slipped out to rest against his upper lip while a grin came to his face.
"Straight forward? I'm just making sure you don't get another lucky shot." His voice is low and course, verbal quirk making one or two words louder than the rest.
Focusing his eyes lower, he uses one hand to rip open clothes over the belly of the demon under him, exposing skin and running a claw over it, just hard enough to leave a light line.

Star shuddered slightly at the tallers words, following his actions with his eyes and struggling underneath him when his clothes were ripped open, giving a nasty glare. He had a feeling he knew where this was going and he was beginning to panic , clenching his teeth the slightest amount.
He gave one last ditch effort to shove the demon off him when he clawed down his stomach, putting all his energy into the push, growling lowly.

Snarling, Eiyole snapped his eyes back up to the demon's face, effectively being thrown off for a moment. Going right back to where he was with a harder shove, he digs his claws into Star's palm as he rips it away from his own stomach. Warmth spreads on his finger tips and he brings his hand up to lap some of them clean.
"When was the last time I've done this," he murmurs to himself, picking his fangs clean and clawing harder at his stomach. He feels the same warmth there, just not as much yet. "I don't even remember. What a treat."

Star had tried getting up once the demon had been thrown off, only to be shoved back down with a hard thud, groaning at the dull pain in his skull, trying to push him off again only to be pinned roughly.He felt blood well up from his hand and stomach, but really that was the least of his worries. He took a sharp inhale, trying to steady his emotions and regain his composure. Since he knew he wasn't going to get out of this one he might as well be snarky, right?
"I don't think we clarified a safe word, but id like to use it right about now."

He'd be a filthy liar if he said his first reaction wasn't to laugh at that. Quips aren't something he expected from someone in this position. Instead, he withholds laughter and breathes a low chuckle.
"Well, I'm afraid that doesn't look very likely right now," he replies. "Why not just relax and enjoy the show?"
Claws slice skin again, inefficiently dug in at the hem of Star's pants and dragged upward, leaving crooked, long, deep gashes. Middle finger sliced through the muscle to the flesh underneath.

Buzzing with nervous energy, Rho fiddled with the vibrant blue flower clipped in his hair – he’d picked it out with Star and John, who had both worn matching ones on their suits for the cult anniversary ball. The event, however, had been cut short, and amidst the chaos of Famosity’s uprising, Star had disappeared to patrol the forest. Meanwhile, Rho had stayed with John, whom he now struggled to keep up with as they marched through the forest in search of their runaway date.
Rho trailed behind John, carelessly letting the edges of his gown drag on the damp ground. He tried to stay close, as his poor vision left him somewhat helpless in the dark. The cult manor was far behind them now, its windows glowing like hundreds of tiny candles against the pitch black of the night.
The mood was tense; Rho stayed quiet, unsure of what to say. The two of them would be much more relaxed knowing Star was safe, yet even with his skills in the wilderness, they couldn't be sure until they found him. Rho grazed his fingers over John’s shoulder, “we’ll find Star” he finally reassured, eyes fixed on the muted red embers of John’s cigarette “I am sure he hasn’t gone far.”
