“Something like that,” she admits after a moment, eyes sweeping over him. A monk? She didn’t need that sort of trouble or headache. She’s here for answers and absently rubs her sweaty palms against her pants. What had she been doing before nearly colliding with him?

The truth of the matter was she was new to the city too and had no idea where to begin her search. She’s only been in Eridia for a day and already she feels even more lost than when she arrived. It almost feels as if she’s forgetting something vitally important.

Weird.

“You… you don’t want to hear my troubles,” she assures him with a weak smile. “I’m sure there’s people around that could use your time more than me…” Which sounds like a lame excuse even to her ears.

@retriibutions asked - i know what you want. / billy dent

“Do you?” And she cocked her head to the side, blue eyes curious and innocent. He had no idea what she wanted and that fact just made this whole thing amusing for her. He didn’t even know what she was! Oh, this was going to be fun.

@xunreinx asked - if you want him dead, why come to me? you seem capable. // cain eveson (the first murderer) w/e verse you'd like

She shrugged, head tilting to the side a moment later as she gave his question some serious thought. “Yes and no,” she said finally, laughing softly to herself. “No because of what you are, but I guess I can’t hold that against you. It’s not your fault,” she waved a hand dismissively.

@mosttrusted said - don’t say that name aloud . - for hellhound Mel

“Or what? It won’t fucking summon him,” she rolled her eyes and took a step back from him. “Lucifer! Lucifer! Lucifer! Lucifer!” she shouted in rapid succession, then waited a handful of seconds before giving him a look that clearly said “I told you so.”

Angels. Always so damn jumpy.

Blue eyes flashed red as they cut over to the owner of that annoyingly familiar voice. Gods above and below, what did he want now? She flashed him a smile that didn’t meet her eyes, head tilting to the side as she turned to face him.

@noctuserenade said - "what brings you out here?" from hellboy!

“Wanted to see what all the fuss was about,” she admitted with a mild shrug, eying him carefully before moving around him to take him in. “Not too many… people like us up here,” and she motioned vaguely at the area around them. She was one of the lucky few that could walk among humanity without effort.

She stopped in front of him again, a faint smile tugging at her lips. “I imagined you’d be taller,” she laughed. If he had his horns he definitely would seem taller, but it was clear he kept them trimmed. She wondered why. Then again, she imagined they’d make his life more difficult otherwise.

She was glad she didn’t have to worry about such things.

Dog? Well, she’d been called worse and it was a fair description. “Can’t a girl go on a stroll without being accosted?” She knew the answer and was being purposefully cheeky. She shouldn’t be there, especially given his reputation and the fact that they were technically enemies.

Good thing she didn’t care about technicalities.
