while i have a particular idea of their relationship with raphael, no raphael writers are obligated to adhere to my headcanons. feel free to pop into my IMs to discuss their dynamic!
"Do behave yourself this time around. You want more outfits than I can count, and if you keep misbehaving, you're going to get banned from every kinky clothing store in this town." Not that it really mattered, Haarlep had so many faces to choose from, after all.
haarlep clicked their tongue against the roof of their mouth and rolled their eyes. behaving was not in their nature; incubi were simply playful and mischievous. "I just don't see the point of having whips up on the wall if I'm not allowed to test them." so really, it was the shopkeep's fault. "But fine. I promise to be on my best behavior." there was a sly cross of the fingers behind their back, but they played it off as they turned around, disguising their self as a young elvish man- a soul he'd taken hundreds of years back and still used often.
If your muse is a demon:
“Oh, turns out that you’re not that stupid. I thought that you would never figure out what I am.”
“It’s not how I actually look.”
“Have you met a demon before?”
“Do it if you want. Your weapons won’t hurt me anyway.”
“Your weapons look funny to me.”
“How did you figure out that I’m not a human?”
“What do you thing you’re going to do with that Holy Water?”
“What?? You’ve lured me into a trap?!”
“A trap? How dare you?!”
“I’m not afraid of your angels.”
“I’m not afraid of your Gods.”
“Take the salt away from me.”
“Exorcism? Really? You think you can save them?”
“I’m too powerful for your toys to work on me.”
“Even if I’m a demon, it doesn’t mean that I don’t feel.”
“Not all demons are the same.”
“Humans… You are so quick to label everyone. I’m not like others.”
“I don’t need your soul.”
“I might be a demon, but I’m not trying to trick you.”
“I know that it’s hard to believe it, but yes a demon wants to help you. Just trust me.”
“You’ve known me for so many years… And now you are trying to run away because I’m a demon? I’ve been like this all this time!”
“I’ve always been like this.. why are you scared now when you know the truth?”
“Aren’t you scared when you finally know the truth about me?”
“Sorry that I couldn’t show my true face.”
“Will you hate me now that you know that I’m a demon?”
“I can help you.. But will you trust a demon?”
“Want to make a deal?”
“My deals can not be terminated.”
“If you want… You can have your dream life. But after ten years I’ll come for your soul.”
“Congratulations, you have just sold your soul.”
“Now your soul is mine.”
“Never trust a demon.”
“I will make you suffer!!”
“I will enjoy your pain.”
“It looks like I’ll have a feast tonight.”
“Your soul smells delicious.”
“Scream! No one will hear you!”
“Pray as much as you want! It won’t help you anyway!”
“Aaaaaahhhhh!!!! Not the Holy Water! It buuuurrrnnsss!!”
“A circle of salt? Wise.”
“Pour as much salt as you want.. But you can’t stay in that circle forever.”
“Uh oh… it looks that you’re out of Holy Water.”
“You will never understand me, human.”
“You think you’re strong human?! Think again!”
“No one cares about the demon..”
“Why would you care about me? You know that I am a demon.”
“I don’t need your compassion.”
“Why are you not scared of me? Do you understand that I’m a demon?!”
“Have you summoned me?”
“Why have you summoned me?”
“Who dared to disturb me?!”
“You’ve summoned me.. now we must make a deal.”
Towards a demon muse:
“I know what you are..”
“You’re a demon!”
“What are you?!”
“No… this can’t be true.. you can’t be something so foul.”
“I always knew that there’s something wrong with you!”
“I’ve sensed that you’re not a human.”
“I knew that you’re not a human.. Just never showed it.”
“Even if you’re a demon I still care about you.”
“I… I don’t care that you are a demon.”
“Demon or not, you’re still important to me.”
“You have been a demon.. all this time?”
“Stay back!. You.. you monster!!”
“Please, don’t hurt me! I’m begging you!”
“Don’t kill me… Please…”
“Are you going to posses me?”
“What do you need from me, you filthy creature?”
“Posses me… Take my body.”
“I thought that I knew you..”
“Stay away from me. You’re scaring me.”
“I’ve killed hundreds like you.”
“I know how fight against you.”
“So demons are real?”
“Don’t tell me that demons are real.”
“I’ve trained to kill demons.. And it’s time for you.”
“Salt, Holy Water, book about exorcism.. believe me I’m prepared.”
“You’re heartless.”
“How could you do that?!”
“I want to make a deal.”
“I don’t know what else can I do.. help me.”
“I’ll give you my soul for their life.”
“I don’t care anymore… I want to make a deal.”
“Your eyes… they’re black.”
“You are unusually friendly for a demon.”
“Aren’t demons supposed to be merciless killers?”
“You’re different from other demons.”
“You will help me?.. But you’re a demon.”
“Why would demon want to help me?”
“Why would I help a demon?”
“Why would I trust a demon?”
“I don’t trust you.. You’re a demon.”
“How could someone love a demon?”
“How could I feel something towards you?”
“Monsters like you don’t deserve to be loved.”
“Monsters like you don’t deserve happiness.”
“Even demons need some love.”
“It doesn’t matter that you’re a demon.. You still deserve to be happy.”
“I’ve never thought that I’ll have so much fun spending time with a demon.”
“I never thought that I’ll be calmly talking with a demon.”
“Are other demons also so nice to be around?”
“Can you feel something else that a need to kill?”
“Are you truly so cruel like everyone is saying?”
“What do you want?! My soul?!”
“Take my soul! I don’t care! Just leave me alone!”
“Take my soul! I don’t care! Just leave them alone!”
“Yes.. I’ve summoned you.”
“I’ve summoned you and you much obey me.”
“What?! I wasn’t trying to summon a demon!”
“I didn’t knew that reading this will summon a demon..”
“Give me back my soul!”
“I want to end the deal.”
“You’ve tricked me! I knew I shouldn’t have trusted a demon!”
“Wait.. you haven’t tricked me?”
“You’re a demon.. there’s no way that I’ll allow you to stay alive.”
“Go back to hell!”
“I’ve finally summoned you my master.”
“Let me serve you.”
“You won’t be able to get me in this circle of salt!”
“Taste some Holy Water!”
“It burns you doesn’t it, you scum?!”
“You won’t lay your nasty fingers on anyone else!”
“Come! They will not find you here!”
“No! They will find you!”
“What have you done to me?”
“You shouldn’t have left hell.”
“Why do you care? You’re a demon.”
“So how do souls taste like?”
“A demon?.. Here?”
“I’ve imagined demons differently.”
“This is exactly how I’ve imagined demons.”
“I’m honoured to meet you.”
“Even if you made everyone else trust you, demon… know that I never will.”
“May I ask… how actually old are you?”
“What does hell look like?”
“What will happen to me after You take my soul?”
“You’re a demon.. You wouldn’t be able to understand me.”
(incubus/succubus saliva is an incredibly powerful aphrodisiac- hense tav's reaction should they choose to lick the dead spider. It tastes different to everyone, always causing the sensation of the eating your favorite treat and sudden flood of serotonin. Some people have even gotten literally addicted to it, if their constitution is low enough.)
Cassian blinked at the incubus, this was not what he expected to see in the house of hope. He really should have known Raphael would have such a consort. Though he was a touch curious about why a devil would need an incubus. "I just think I made a wrong turn."
"Oh no, no, no-" up to their knees and with a simple wave of the hand, the double doors behind cassian slammed shut. "This is, absolutely, the right turn... Maybe not the one you were looking for, but a right one all the same." fiendish eyes stared unblinking at the lost little tiefling, and saw all- saw past the surface and it made them grin. "Don't you think you at least owe me an explanation? You're in my home. But why?"
THERE'S A HEAT THAT CLIMBS UP HIS COLLAR; he juts his chin up to try to swallow some pride. It doesn't really work. " You know just as well as I do that was —— " He digs, digs, digs, tries to find shame; he fails at that, too, because there's been this hollow space where shame used to reside for so many years he's not sure he remembers what it felt like. He clears his throat. " —— transactional. "
His skin hums, burns, as though he's aware of every little inch of it. He won't deny that; he's spent enough time trawling through war and blood and sweat and steel that pleasure is a rare commodity. Still, he doesn't turn away. " Sorry, " he says, with a flat smile. " I don't have much to bargain. " A heartbeat. " You look —— " A war in his mind — ( don't engage, don't engage, don't engage ) —— " —— different. "
"I look like me," haarlep a shoulder. "I don't walk around glamored up as Raphael all the time- in fact, you really weren't supposed to see that. Oops. I guess that's what happens when you go sneaking around someone's private den." but the incubus' words didn't sound angry. in fact, there was a playful tone about them, a smile that dripped of faux innocence. "And if you really have nothing left to bargain with, why are you here, little thief? Perhaps-- you just missed me," the suggested.
"Perhaps you felt me, enjoying your form. I'm a lot of fun with it." and in an infernal flash, a wave of their hand, they were changed. the leather straps were now over a paladin that was certainly so familiar- a mirror image, except the iris of his eyes were shaded haarlep's infernal purple. "As good as it feels, it's a bit of a tease, isn't it? Nothing like the real thing." they approached the other, his hand teasing over his stomach, knowing that the telepathetic tether was there. paerin would be able to feel the ghost of it. "I'm not strictly transactional, you know. The best pleasure is something taken for pure hedonistic want, in my opinion."
(@vchloras got me thinking REALLY hard about Incubi/Succubi. While, don't mistake, they are devils. They are fiends from the Hells. But seeing as they are servants to devils and their reputation, I doubt many at all bother to get to know their kind further than their sexual prowess. Don't really think much about their capability to care for others on a deeper level, have wants and needs that aren't related to sex- or even get to know their personality even at base level. Haarlep is very capable of having all sorts of different dynamics with people, if given the chance.)

Haarlep @1000lvrs runs to Raphael and jumps in his arms ...
It was always a surprise how the incubus was going to react to his returning to their private den. That was part of the fun, if Raphael was entirely honest. All other aspects of his infernal life was so tightly controlled, choreographed and rehearsed like his carefully swooped back hair, and finely tailored clothes. All to project the desired image, the intended effect – a stage so intricately masked to seem like an open ended playground, so one wouldn't notice it was a maze, meticulously constructed to lead every path to the same end: the unconditional freedom, to choose the only option left open.
But for Haarlep, the garden was left open, and free to be roamed.
Haarlep leaped, and Raphael's eyes widened in only a split second of surprise before reflex kicked in. Wings unfurled, thrusting out like a magnificent cape to make balance as his arms captured and wrapped securely around the incubus' form. An arm behind Haarlep's back, and a hand under the incubus' rump, grabbing the base of their thigh, supporting the hips for Haarlep to hook their legs around his waist. He spun with the momentum of the other running into him. The air swirled around them, responding to the Lord of the House's command and casting up an infernal whirlwind that, by the end of it, he had entirely transformed. His skin was bright red, his fangs sharp. A pair of splintered, spiked horns curled gloriously over his head. Marigold eyes glowed with infernal flames, and a deeper, more smoldering heat as he gazed upon Haarlep in his arms.
“ Why, have you conducted yourself well in my absence, love? ” Raphael chuckled lowly. His clawed finger tracing down the bare expanse of the incubus' back. “ You know ... I've always found the creatures in the mortal realms and their habits grating and repulsive. I could ill fathom the pervasiveness of such comparison as a term of endearment. But in you, I may have discovered an appreciation for it ... kitten. ”
as raphael was catching his balance, haarlep's hand was embracing the round of his skull and meshing their lips together. they missed his taste but more so, they wanted the cambion to miss their own; incubus' tasted so sweet by nature. a pheromone, or something, they produced to create a forever craving in victims- they'd heard speak about it but never cared much to know all the inner workings of their fiendish biology. it's effect on devils, they weren't sure, but regardless of that, there would be no denying that haarlep tasted like his favorite dessert and then some. by the time they pulled back, raphael was devil once more. his mortal guise was handsome but nothing could compare to his natural glory. magnificent and eloquent. the incubus' smile bared sharp teeth. they crossed their arm along the back of raphael's shoulders and their ankles locked together at the small of his back; refusing to be let down.
"I might have," haarlep teased. "I... woke up late. And had a big breakfast. I was still tired after, so I laid back down and took a nap for a few hours. And then had some lunch. I wasn't too sleepy, so I've just been entertaining myself in a myriad of ways since then." their life was filled with much of nothing and, despite the mischievous disposition of the incubi, would do nothing to compromise such an existence. their race were servants of the hells and haarlep could not have gotten luckier. mephistopheles was a cruel master for hundreds of years- but now, they lived lavishly and got anything their heart desired, all they had to do was ask; raphael denied them nothing. "I'm glad you're back."
one last kiss, and haarlep was carefully lowering their self back to the ground but their hands were not leaving him entirely. palms rubbed against the other's chest at first, then slipped down, under his arms and around his sides to hug against him. adoringly, their head rested against his shoulder, infernal lavender eyes staring up into raphael's. "Just in time, too. I was thinking about taking a hot soak with oils and maybe some rose petals- do you want to join me? You can tell me about your day. Your dealings with um..." what was their names? it clearly slipped haarlep's mind, and they simply extended an arm and waved their hand vaguely to indicate that. "Whatever- Whoever- Are they close to getting you your thingie yet?"
(Making eye contact with an Incubus is an incredibly dangerous thing to do. Unless the other person has high constitution and/or wisdom, it could end in them being charmed by them. Once charmed, it's hard to deny the Incubus' verbal or telepathic commands. This is their main means of defense as Incubus' are not known to be physical fighters- but they can charm someone, and command the person to harm themselves instead. And, the charmed target, doesn't even have to be in the Incubus' range. The Incubus may still have control even if the charmed is in an entirely different plane of existence.)
