[ wow... Makoto truly is the kindest demon Abel's ever met?? --ignore the fact he is also the only legitimate demon Abel's ever met, thus far. that's entirely besides the point,
in fact, Abel is reveling in the fact that Makoto not only seems to relish in this praise, but that the priest isn't being shunned for offering it with such fervor; this is rarity for him, and perhaps a (potentially fool-hardy?) encouragement. whether or not Makoto would come to regret humoring his newfound 'friend,' only time can tell...
so he's releasing one of the demon's hands so he might hastily swipe at his eyes, misty for the flood of genuine relief as much as gratitude. after days of being hauled about and prodded with no more grace than cattle, a little human(?) kindness sure does go a long way, doesn't it...? ]
Thank goodness... Y-you know, I'm a man of very delicate constitution, I... I'm not made for this kind of manhandling, sir-- I'm really not!! Perhaps someone like you can't relate, but...
[ being so STRONG and COOL as he is and all, this Makoto..... ]
--Ah. But, you... ah. [ Abel is having a Thought, here, as something the demon's said sits a tad uncomfortably in his stomach. slowly and gingerly, he's releasing Makoto from his reverent grasp, ] You don't think our, um... more... energetic friends are-- are going to be...

I mean-- surely they'll be coming with us, right...?
