"Violent and dangerous?" Well, the same could be said about Ben himself until very recently, so he's not sure he can judge these creatures without knowing more about them. "I'm guessing these Fallen aren't known for their hospitality, if they're warning people about them in the pamphlets. What are they like?" If he might be fighting them one day, best to know your enemy.

He considers the Guardian's reply. "If they start something, I'll be glad to help deal with them. Assuming there'll be any left to fight by the time I get there." The Guardians seem to be experienced in handling Fallen, and the angels, from Ben's reckoning, are the most powerful people here. "I personally don't think they will, though. Violent and dangerous or not, they'd be severely outclassed here. I think they must know that if they're watching us. If they were to try and start something with you Guardians and the angels around, they'd be fools."
