(Assuming he did) Vague flashes of times before the Lab briefly appeared, each memory happy and joyous. Amelia had once been an energetic child with a bubbly personality rival to nobody else. However, her memories turned sour as they revealed the events leading up to the present. Amelia's attitude had become submissive and shy, doing whatever she possibly could to keep from being experimented on in torturous ways. Blinding white lights and a sparse hospital room made up her visual of the lab, only leaving the glorified cell to participate in experiments alongside the other test subjects. The dark hallway Amelia had walked down was one of the only places without the white florescent lights, and how she perceived Red was not as a demon, but as a real person untainted by the unholy, disgusting experiments performed by the real demons in the mortal world. It was then that thee young woman's eyes fluttered open, a look of confusion and slight fright flickering in her eyes as she looked up at Red. It took a moment for the previous few minutes to register, and once they did she visibly relaxed. She sat up slowly, a red tint coloring her face as she realized she had fallen asleep in Red's arms. "S-sorry aba-about that." Amelia apologized, rubbing her uninjured arm and biting down on her lip again. She didn't recall the memories she had willingly let Red look through, and was simply embarrassed that she had fallen asleep on top of him.

Cronos grimaced as Sasuke burned the symbol into his hand, his fingers twitching the only sign that he felt pain from receiving the mark. He looked up at the demon, watching him transform into a more humanoid figure. "Yes, well, Aziz is rather strong-willed." He mumbled, mostly to himself rather than Sasuke. The man shifted, dropping his hand and letting it hang limply at his side. His hazel eyes studied Sasuke for a moment, taking in the man's new appearance. Had Cronos been interested in guys- which he wasn't- he would likely have found Sasuke attractive in an odd, demonic bad-boy way. The man stretched out slightly, his thoughts drifting to his younger, missing siblings Metis and Prometheus. His family had an odd thing for naming their children after mythological Greek figures, which was why Cronos found it odd when Sasuke referred to him as "Cronos of Time". Now that he had the powers of a demon at his disposal, was it possible that he could possibly become the Titan he had been named after? The thought made his stomach churn with mixed emotions, so he focused his thoughts back onto Sasuke. "Revenge on a fox soul?" He found himself asking to his own bewilderment. Why ask about that in particular? He shook his head and looked back at Sasuke, waiting patiently for an answer.

Noctis watched Dryft curiously, his attention being grabbed by the camera as it frosted over. He blinked, studying the patterns in the frost for a moment before turning back to look at Dryft with a slight smile. "Beautiful." He complimented, gesturing at the frost on the camera. He noticed the ice demon looking at his arm and he chewed on the inside of his cheek with distaste written on his face. "The uncouth brutes that call themselves scientists have a morbid way of approaching things." He explained briefly, his words bitter. Why do they have to cut into us to extract blood samples? It would be cleaner and much more effective to use a needle... even in this situation, using a knife is just brutish. He tried for a pleasant smile, clasping his hands together behind his back. "I suppose we ought to get to know each other better, seeing as we're about to make a deal." He mused, taking a seat on the floor and propping his head up in his hands, his elbows resting on his knees. He looked up at Dryft, waiting for his response patiently. As he waited, his mind drifted to thoughts of the past, growing nostalgic in appearance and tilting his head slightly. "Were you human once?" He suddenly asked, looking up at Dryft with genuine curiosity gleaming in his deep blue eyes.

Dryft simply huffed, sitting down. For a moment he considered shifting to his other form, where his appearance usually stayed. At least looking like a human for now was kind of fine. "Thanks." He replied after hearing Noctis' comment. Usually, it was unintentional for him to make interesting patterns in frost. But, like now, he had tried intentionally to make it even more patterned. This came because he just wanted to be impressive, he wanted to make a good mark. Even though it was really a first impression, and they really would be kind of just... branded together for basically forever. "The scientists here aren't really the nicest people." He agreed in his cold voice. "But I guess I wouldn't really know, since I haven't met many humans." He fiddled with a stray feather on his wing. In his human form... he kind of just looked like a human. Although, it was easy to tell he wasn't. He had sickly looking pale skin, and he didn't really try to over-dress while in his human form, he just had a simple blue t-shirt and dark jeans, under the gown the place had provided. But in this 'occasion', he had ditched the cloth article of clothing. Not to mention he had a pair of feathered wings, as well as a tail.
"I guess a deal is one way to put it...." He mused softly to himself, easing himself slowly into a sit, his legs folded. He blinked at the sudden question. "No... I was always like this, having two forms." He replied, shrugging slightly.
