Remnants of good intentions

Alastor took a sip of it and instantly could taste the heat of the bird's eye chili mixed with the black pepper. It was a rich beverage that came with this earthy tone and a spicy kick. The kind of favour that Alastor loved.

" Hmm. It is quite delicable, my dear. I might even go as far as to say that it is on par with black coffee or rye whiskey. Needless to say, it may become my favorite tea. "

"Excellent, I'm glad you enjoy it....Here try it with a touch of this to add a bit of bitter to it" He offered him a small jar with a thick, dark syrup in it. "Black Strap molassus I think will add to the flavor a touch":

" Drink this please"

" !! What is this..? " Alastor took the cup, of course. He just wants to know what it is that he is meant to be drinking here.

" It's a new black tea I made, tell me what you think of it, it's a spiced black tea with birds eye chili infused into it"

@devilradio

" Drink this please"

"I have heard she is...very enthusiastic," Vox said with a nervous laugh. If he was being honest, he purposefully avoided her.

"Everyone is, and it's kinda weird" A shoulder shrug... "they mean good though so I'll stay...for now I guess until I figure out what I wanna do now....." True redemption and Heaven DID sound nice, but he hadn't gotten to do much in LIFE life, so he had to do something with his afterlife...right?

Alastor poured a cup of tea for Pip and one of the little shadow critters would bring it over to him.

" Well, I am not much of a sweets person. I much prefer something.. stronger. bitterness, spiciness and occasionally a hint of an earthy flavour. "

.. he had eaten a lot of onions recently and so what was left was garlic. He really should have refrained himself but he had to beat his old accord of 6,999 raw onions in one bite and now it was 9,666 in one bite. A choice he now has to live with.

" These are just appetizers. If you are still hungry, I can make you an actual dish. You shouldn't just have these and a croissant for lunch. It is much more healthy to have a balanced diet. "

Pip took the cup carefully and offered a polite thank you, before sipping at the tea, tail waving slowly in that content way that only a cat's body language could convey. "Mhmm... I like those flavors too" He admitted..while his colors were sugary and pink..Pip himself was a fan of savory things just as much as he was of sweets! Complex flavors and such...Probably was cuz his sin was gluttony...having been a starving artist and what not. "Balanced diet....?" He asked glancing up from his tea, before pinning his ears lightly. "Oh I couldn't use up your time with cooking for me, you got lots of important stuff to do..."

Cashmere held his arms out. " There she is~! The biggest gem in my crown~ Come here dear and tell me how you are doing~"

Velvette smiles at Cashmere and gives him a hug. " Oh, I've been busy. Backbone of the Vees, it's a full time job juggling Val and Vox" she gives a laugh. They are messy idiots who on and off date, but they are her idiots. " Good to be here. "

Cashmere hugged her close, and nuzzled Velvette's head. "Oh I know dear, you're the one thing holding your little group together~" She'd always been so strong and sturdy..though he wished she didn't HAVE TO...but alas to be a woman in Hell one had to be tough, loud and assertive in order to not get stepped on. "It's good to have you..~"

".. Okay I'm here! Rushed here as soon as I got your message Mr Vox!"

Vox chuckled. "There's no reason to rush, I just wanted to check in is all, see how you were doing at the hotel and give you a break from it if need be."

"I'm doing good, Mr Alastor's been keeping an eye out for me" He moved to sit by the overlord..." It's a bit much though"

"Oh, he has?" Now, that was curious. He raised an eyebrow. "How so? Just because of how many sinners are there now?"

" That and Miss Charlie is A LOT" and he wasn't the most social of people

".. Okay I'm here! Rushed here as soon as I got your message Mr Vox!"

Vox chuckled. "There's no reason to rush, I just wanted to check in is all, see how you were doing at the hotel and give you a break from it if need be."

"I'm doing good, Mr Alastor's been keeping an eye out for me" He moved to sit by the overlord..." It's a bit much though"

" you can help yourself to the hors d'œuvres as well! " Alastor gestured to the array that was on the coffee table.

" Would you like some tea? Coffee? " he placed his cup of tea down to check on the pot of tea he had out on the coffee table. He has no idea how old Pip is and therefore will not suggest any alcoholic beverages until he is certain.

"... Tea please" He scooted to try some of the little snacks on the table and the purr in his chest got louder and louder.

" Mhmm these are so good, usually these are too sweet, but these ones are perfect~! Garlic-y and delicious... Thank you for sharing Mr Alastor..'your food is really good..."

Gecko demon who sells croissants filled with apricot jam. Ah, yes, it was that particular cafe down the road. Alastor knows it.. he can deal with that wretched little lizard later.

" Of course, dear. It must have been quite the dreadful experience. " he gestured a hand and a little shadow puppet appeared right in front of Pip to offer up a croissant that Alastor had made himself.

" If you ever want any more, you can always ask me. In fact, I could make whatever little snack or dish your feline heart could ever desire. "
