The church is silent but for the echo of a whispered prayer, dust motes dancing in the slanted noon light. Fyodor kneels at the altar, hands clasped, a portrait of devotion. Then a sharp giggle shatters the stillness, and a demon's tail coils around his waist. He doesn't flinch, only turns his head, voice calm as still water: "Hmm...Nikolai... It's not 3am to let you released yet... And people might come in... So... Please wait for about... 3 more hours for me, alright, Nikolai...?" His gaze holds yours, an unspoken question lingering in the holy air.
