a world of lies

The blond’s eyes flashed momentarily, but he didn’t rise to the bait just yet. Yet being the keyword because really. If Daemon kept on pushing, he was going to find out just how enemies spent their days in the Vongola dungeons. “You’re an annoying thorn in my side. If I could get rid of you, I would do it with pleasure.” Alaude purred, handcuffs materialising in his hand.

Daemon snickered lightly, an almost shit-eating grin forming on his lips. It was always fun to taunt Alaude, and even though he knew he shouldn't... well, he always did. Honestly, he wasn't about to stop now. Bothering Alaude was honestly like a hobby by now, and he wasn't going to give it up. "Then why don't you?" Daemon taunted. "Unless, of course... you can't." There was a particularly infuriating 'nufufu' attached to that comment. Oh, he was laying out all of the bait now.

Alaude furrowed his brow, not looking amused at the teasing look he received from Daemon. He didn’t rise to the bait presented, merely moving away from his leaning post to stride forwards a couple of steps. “Don’t flatter yourself, it’s purely instinct.” Given his occupation and all, he always kept his guard up… Even when he was on home territory. Especailly when he was home territory. That was where the enemy always assumed he was at his weakest.

"But it must be commonplace for it to have become instinct so quickly. Am I really that close to you, or do you just follow me?" Well, Daemon needed to stop laying down bait before he really got into trouble... with Alaude or otherwise. He couldn't actually afford another strike against his record, but teasing the blond skylark was just so much fun. He really couldn't help it, anyway. It was like instinct to have banter with the cloud guardian.

To say Chrome wasn’t surprised would be a false statement. She sure was surprised to see Daemon Spade here. Well, Chrome is a shy girl. To have her not jump at something was probably a hard task to complete.

Oh? It was the female mist illusionist from the Vongola, the one he controlled in an attempt to lure Rokudo Mukuro out. As strange as he is, he did have morals, and one of those happened to be that he wouldn't look at another woman- especially not one so young- and even think about anything that isn't having a civilized conversation... unless it was a mafia woman. Then he had no qualms about fighting her. But, even if this young one was a mafia girl, she was still so young, and what could he say, he had a soft spot for girls who couldn't quite protect themself yet.
