bruce chuckles at the sight of a COLLAR. he scoffs to show surprise. victor was the last person he'd expect to have a PET. it wasn't that the elder wasn't dominant. he wasn't even denying that it's obvious that victor loved some sexual deviance. but a pet? now that was interesting. the younger takes a bite of his food and watches carefully as the girl is escorted out. he begins to speak to the elder, though the words are washed behind the thick walls of the castle. various words slip through the cracks. something about TRAINS and BALLS.
the two finish their meals in private, after the GUEST leaves. victor still demanded on calling her that, despite bruce's accusations that victor has CLAIMED a human pet already. victor makes his way to his chamber for a deep sleep. the human world was never the easiest to travel back from and he needed his strength. bruce, on the other hand, had plenty of energy. other than morning sparring, the male rarely had any activity.
he liked strolling through town some nights, wandering and hollering at some of the beautiful succubuses that lived among the other demons. but tonight it felt like demon women wouldn't fix the curious ITCH that he could feel tingling under his skin. instead he decides to stay within the confines of the castle.
after hours of rest, the male walks through the halls, finally making it to the chambers that the girl is given. it's the GUEST room, only furthering victor's stance on her title while also validating bruce's theory that this isn't a PERMANENT placement. he balls his strong hands into a fist and knocks on the door, but only waits a moment before entering; uncaring if she allows him to enter or not.
the door slides open and the confident male walks in to see her. "so, GENISIS," he starts, "i think we're BOTH very confused as to your purpose here, but i think if we put our heads together, we'll be able to figure out why victor would want you as a PET." bruce hums. "i've never seen him take much interest in human pets but it looks like you've swayed our precious cerberus." the joke rolls off his tongue, loving to call victor any of the VICIOUS beasts that they've slain.
bruce isn't even sure she KNOWS what the demon world does with human pets. the kind of devotion that a pet needs to have isn't something that is done unwillingly. that fact is likely the reason victor is adamant on making her time here COMFORTABLE. does she know of the promise a pet has to their master? is she aware of the life she will have to lead now that victor OWNS her SOUL? bruce thinks on this as his bright eyes look down at the collar, then up into her eyes.
"what makes YOU so special?"
