Ugh why did he accept this invatation again? He hasn’t been to a formal ball since Lilith —- well no need to think about that .. perhaps he could just send an IOU duck and be done with it ? It was so tempting and yet ironically the first tempter ignored it as he got ready in his palace at least he still had his old formal where and it was a Masquerade so he could hide his face —
ah right that was his mask , gold and copper dragon like mask left little to the imagination as to who was behind it, if the Royal gold and red suit with flame motifs didn’t give it away. Riiight back then he had more pride , he wasn’t as depressed as he was now. Fuck,
Well you know what they say Fake it till you make it, besides he promised Charlie he’d help her with the hotel and the only way to do that was to be more active again .

“• You won’t be going alone I’ll be here as I always have, remember you have no one else but me•”
That was true he would always have his real best friend at his side ever since the garden .
“All right let’s do this ,” he sighed .

Getting to Gluttony was no issue Royals had special access to private guarded elevators and well as King of Hell he could just appear whenever and wherever he wanted . The door men scrambled to lay out the welcome For him, and grab the large doors to the area it would be held at , it was nice to see the Hellborn at least show some respect, maybe he should get out some more .
Right confident, In charge he could do this .. make an entrance say hello and then dip to the back as quick as you can Lucifer .
His steps echoed as he entered , his jewelry gleaming the eye slits of his mask glowing red from his eyes as Monty curled around his neck , the infernal crown alight on Lucifer’s head , His ever present Cane making a hollow thunk on the marble flooring his sword ever present, the servants bowed and kept their eyes low as the Dragonic King strode Past a small hush falling upon the place before picking up again as his entrance was announced he was bowed too.
Ah fuck he forgot about that , damn now he was gonna Have to talk to people oh well, perhaps he could say hi and then dip before he was called upon to play mediator between Satan and His Brother , please just let this night go well.
Dom watched the headmaster with narrowed eyes, someday he’d be bowing down to him. A smirk grew on his lips at the thought as he continued to watch the man introduce some woman. “Seriously? All of this for some lady. The headmaster must be overcompensating for something...” he grumbled out loud without a thought.
As the orchestra continued playing his makeup lined eyes scanned the room, examining all the outfits. “Mm still the best dressed” he chuckled to himself as he watched peopled break off into couples and begin dancing. “Why is everyone dancing like that....A waltz? This shit is way to fancy dancy for me...” he grumbled as he swiped a glass of wine from a passing server and moved to lean against gently against one of the hedges
