Willing to work with me or happy to use me? Tauer thought, sullenly. Had his father or brother been in this predicament they would have flashed steel and scared this would-be-king back into the hole he emerged from. But Tauer was nowhere close to living up to his father's legacy. Plus, he carried no weapon. The demon prince was glad his parents weren't here to see him being heckled by this street rat. But Tauer wasn't going to let Piper think he had the upper hand.
Before I make a decision, I have a few conditions of my own that you have to agree to:
Firstly, I refuse to kill or harm anyone for you.
Secondly, I want to see that Nissa and Joff are safe. And if I help you, they are free to stay in your little gang of birds and rats, under your protection, if they so choose.
"I would never ask one so pure as you to kill someone, mate. If you find yourself in a bit of a spot while working for me... Well then perhaps you weren't the right person for the job after all...
As for Nissa and Joff?"
::He reaches up and gives a slight wave. Birdsong fills the air once again for a short time and then there is movement on the rooftops of the building around them. Nissa and Joff appear the the edge of two different building surrounded by other children, all armed. They try to call out, whether to each other or to Tauer, he can not say as they are cut off by a jab to the ribs. ::
"I 'ope that satisfies you, Princeling.
And I already gave you pies. It's not my fault you let them drop."
Silent as a shadow on padded feet...

Tauer was visibly relieved to see the siblings were ok, although not exactly safe. Anger began to bubble beneath the surface; he felt helpless to act there and then, to knock this Piper jerk on his butt and save the kids.
On the other hand, if the demon prince completed this mysterious task then perhaps he could call this gang of kids potential allies. They clearly knew the area and that might come in useful at some point, and he could keep an eye on Nissa and Joff at the same time, if they decided to stay with the group.
"What I need you to do is run off and find a 'ome. When the time is right, we'll find you.
Until then, just 'ang tight."
::With that said, Piper turns his back on Tauer and casually limps down the alley, pausing only once to smack the brace on his leg to get it to bend. ::

Tauer looked up at the two siblings. He held his hand up in something like a stationary wave with a look that said "Everything's going to be alright. Just hold in there." Then the demon turned and headed back towards the food stalls. He couldn't go house hunting on an empty stomach, right?
