Despite himself, he begins to feel slightly more at ease. Perhaps itās the motherly tone, or the smile, or maybe itās the way she speaks to him conspiratorially, as though the two of them are in on a secret that the rest of the world is entirely unaware of. Whatever it is, itās working ā though he will take care to proceed with caution. She is much more powerful than he is, and there is nothing that unnerves him more than losing his status as the most powerful one in the room.
Leaving with her would probably be a bad move. He shouldnāt. He still does not know her motives, and the little knowledge he does have is what made him a nervous, stuttering fool. She could be dangerous.Ā
But, in the end, Zero will always be Zero, and despite his anxieties, despite his common sense, he finds himself wanting to take her up on her offer. This party is dull, he is bored, and being murdered by a demon is at least an exciting way to spend the remainder of his night.
Eyes wander toward Angelo, always in his mask, talking to people who look both important and unapproachable, and then toward Ivy, who is pretending to be amused by some young gentlemanās joke. They donāt need him here, they wonāt miss him. Heāll shoot Ivy a text to say heās leaving and see what happens from there.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā Ā Nah, I mean, no, no. I donāt need to stay here. What did you have in mind?Ā Ā ā
Ā OH SHE IS DANGEROUS but not to him.Ā heās something to be harnessed , not murdered.Ā itās unlikely heāll ever leave his other agent , but the least she can do is try.Ā an attempt to gain more power than she already had. greed was something she rarely touched herself , but it was something that was easily manipulated in others.Ā people --- mortals were GREEDY for fame , greedy for money and love.Ā and she could give them all three.Ā was it fair that she wanted a little more than she was given.Ā Ā
she wouldnāt hurt him , but she could try and tip the skills to her favor.Ā whether or not she would be successful was another story.Ā her smile is gentle , motherly seemed to work with him and she would like for it to stay that way.Ā the last thing she wanted was his wrath.Ā that would not work for her.Ā Ā
her hand finds his shoulder once he speaks , and she gently holds onto it.Ā enough pressure to be firm , but easily removable if he so wished for the contact to stop.Ā sheāsĀ excited now , as if a whole new world had opened for her.Ā Ā
she did love her job , how DESPERATE they could be , but was it so bad that she wanted more ?Ā demons were creatures of sin after all , it wasnāt wrong for her to give into her OWN greed.Ā Ā Ā ā how about to a bar where they actually serve good alcohol ?Ā they play this as if it were expensive , but itās cheap. ā
