Of all the gin joints in the world, really.
The Devil had been invited to many strange places for meetings; clubs, lounges, sporting events. The bath house was usually a good way to ensure nobody was coming armed-- the Devil didn’t need a weapon to be dangerous, though. That was why he’d come anyway at the vague summons up North to some sort of spa resort that was a feeble cover for a drug den and brothel under the floorboards. At least the baths were legitimate, that was clear by the pleasant smells.
And the creature lounging in the water, content as a very familiar cat.
Devil’s lips pursed and his eyelids lowered, not quite a smile but not quite a frown; surmising. He shifted to rest his weight on one leg, his tail flipping behind him cautiously. He was never one to be embarrassed over dressing in just the towel, but nakedness felt different around someone who’d seen him naked before. Usually he saw that coming. “...Razkiel.”
Devil didn’t move closer, but his shoulders lowered just a touch. “Either you have a very specific way of calling up your exes, or this is a real hell of a coincidence.”
