[ Satan takes his time, in no rush to get back and deal with the awkwardness between him and Mammon. What a feat he's accomplished to make Mammon lose his temper, though. The rest of their brothers would have been floored, to be sure. But... no matter how upset Mammon had gotten... he had maintained his form.
He sits silently on his bed, wondering what would have worked better. Not telling him at all would have been best, because not only does Mammon now feel helpless to do anything for their human, but Mammon also seems to feel like Satan can just magic up a simple solution and stop Zelda from sacrificing herself for her kingdom. Satan supposes that will just create a bitterness.
Maybe if he'd been more confident from the start. If he'd maintained his temper, Mammon wouldn't have gotten the feeling that their shared situation was hopeless. If he'd been more... like Lucifer... he would have been able to find a solution and present it to Mammon. And then Mammon would just believe everything would work out.
All he had to do was keep his temper, and to not vent about how helpless he felt. Because in the end, all it did was upset Mammon and make him feel helpless, too.
Satan takes a deep breath and pushes his emotions somewhere deep down. He can't afford to think about them or feel them when they're a confusing mess as they are now. Besides, he can't hide in here forever.
So, having pulled himself together as best he can, he ventures how to see what Mammon is up to. ]
