Tender as a lover, desperate as an addict; darkness coiled in a sinister manner around a hand so frail, dainty. No physical or spiritual force in this plane, his world, this EXISTENCE, could wisp away something so tantalising. Our beast’s eyes curved, shaped like upper moons whose rejoice breached the very fabric of existence. ❝ Ahaha, of course! ❞ A human teaching mannerisms on how to propose ‘deals’ by enquiring, all this euphoria truly must’ve been clouding our monster’s senses; much so that various tentacles, claws and other beastly limbs desperately touched this magnificent jewel’s body parts in midst of their conversation.
❝ But first, allow me to take a more appropriate apparition before you. ❞ Humans craved similarity, comfort; earn his trust by assimilating to the very ‘same’ human skin. Suddenly without warning, darkness began to run rampant, the beast’s essence cavorted in spirals ahead of Envy ‘till that same darkness he held onto? It became a charming gloved hand, belonging to a charming man. He was perfection, for it would take perfection to earn this ‘magnificent’ possession’s approval.
❝ Does my appearance seem more suitable? Or would you prefer that I sport something different for you? ❞ Donning a suit made for servants, our beast desperately sought for anything that somewhat gave a good response. Duke Cain has never been weaker for someone, much so that he’d be willing to abandon power as a trial JUST to ‘sate’ his hunger: eat him, defile him, taste him. O’, our beast smiled with an unworldly happiness, never releasing Envy’s palm like a star struck lover who wanted his ‘reward’ for being patient.
