[ Very rarely does a look of shock grace William's features. In actuality, it had only occurred once before, in a scenario quite similar to this. And much like that time, William suddenly finds himself frozen, only able to watch something he should have foreseen and attempted to stop, even if his efforts would have done no good.
His partner's record flutters through the air around them, but not a single frame is paid any mind as the wretched creature leaves his prey to die and focuses on him, next. And again, there's the ultimatum presented; pursue revenge in a fit of rage or scrape together any shred of hope that he can save his partner. While he's stronger now, certainly, at least Grell could stand a chance, should he act quickly enough. So the demon's watched cautiously as he appears next to the redhead, scoops her up in his arms and retreats to their home realm.
He needs to get her treated as quickly as possible. Hopefully his faltering hasn't costed her her second life. ]
