" Mai Kujaku. "

The voice is faint, but present, somehow both a mere whisper on the wind and louder than she could fathom. at first, it could just be a nightmarish echo, reminding her of an experience she wished she could forget. But that presence was familiar, and in the moments that pass, it grows stronger, closer, more eager.

He fades into reality, the shadows writhing upwards like snakes to form his body. not a nightmare -- just a ghost. a demon. watching her with expectant glee. " i hope you haven't forgotten me. "

Such a response would earn a soft hum and faint trace of amusement too from this mystery person, "And why not? Nearly all humans be adorable in their own ways after all? Especially with an esteemed lady like yourself that seems to be a bit off guard of my little statement now." the manner of how Lucifer spoke had some oddity to it but then again observing humans from the early eons did have it's moments.

"I do stand by such an observing point, dare I inquire of your name before giving my own? It's not every day when visiting such a place and frankly it's refreshing when not busy with work, hrm..."

Having that air of a prideful man but yet was he truly human? Even if his shadow would have inhuman look despite his appearance before said shadow would flicker to being human like after a while as if trickery of magic or something be at play.

"Beklager, I mean no offense at all. I actually think it was an article."

Even still, bag slung over his shoulder, he'd only just recently become renowned for something else. Johan of the Crystal Beast's? Not much of a title but it was out there and he was lucky if he found someone who didn't recognize his name or appearance. A lot of popular figures tended to show up for tournament's, but it also meant opportunity for students, taking the chance he'd all but jumped to partake, to study abroad and gain a better understanding of Domino City compared to his homeland.

He's gazing intently by now, finger tapping at his chin as he hums, before realization flashes across his face, the echoing statement from Sapphire Pegasus is the only reason for this clarity. Albeit the spirit couldn't be heard, still he speaks, excited. "Wait. Mai Valentine right? I saw your duel in the last tournament! Although I was in a different branch." Holding out a hand in greeting, more for a hand shake he smiles warmly. "Johan. Johan Andersen."

Home is wherever he feels most comfortable. It's where he can curl up on the couch under blankets with his partner or friends and eat all sorts of junk food and laugh at movies or games. It's where he is safe from prying eyes, where he can escape from the day and be himself. Where he can scream or cry or sing while he cooks.

It's where he's happiest.

' fear rules men. ' - Mai (to your choice)

"Could say that but it doesn't necessarily mean it rules all the time, although pushing through the fears does bring merit when conquering such fears. Be it in dueling or not." Atem be sounding old when he speak like that but then again seeing many things and experienced so much it be normal he would think, "Apologies if I sounded too odd when saying that but that be my thoughts on that, also it's been a while as well too." offering a warm smile to one he recognized and nodding at Mai when he was not so busy at the moment.
