An uneasy goodbye

Everette.

“Do we really have to use that portal?" Shameena pouts and practically takes refuge behind Asmodeus, he takes her arm and helps her refuge in his arms.

“You must cooperate with me." I order her in a soft tone, although that's not usual for me, I can't blame her either, I feel the same if not worse than her, only that in my case I have to hide my displeasure.

I see Aisha out of the corner of my eye, she simply observes the portal with curiosity and a little bit of fear. I take her hand and attract her to me and hug her by the waist, she looks at me confused by the sudden gesture.

“Hey, there are a lot of people here." she whispers blushing.

A smirk comes to my lips.

“But what are you thinking?" I ask in a falsely scandalized tone. “I'm only holding you because we have to cross the portal, otherwise you could materialize anywhere in the Celestial realm and we would have a problem similar to the Mortal realm. Personally I prefer to avoid that kind of situation.”
