And there's one more. In its own way, the cruelest, but most needful thing. The Rider has had Nick in control of the body before. He's reigned in the demon.
This time, for the first time, as the last step of the bargain, before he can set to freeing the victims and seeing to the Champions, Nicholas needs to let the Rider drive.
He's flesh and blood again, but its the Spirit of Vengeance who drives his steps. He opens the door into the woman's room, nearly naked from the damage done earlier, his wounds somewhat healed over by the time as the demon rider.
"Ginger." he calls softly. He doesn't want to know how the demon knows her name. He just does.
"You've been waiting a long time for someone you could count on, for something real and true and forever." he says softly, in tones a demon shouldn't have.
"You've found him... in all your efforts, for all your work, you finally have his attention. Look into my eyes."
Should she do so, the very human eyes lick with hellfire, ringing the dark mirrors of the penance gaze.
