Finally something to keep his interest. 

He says nothing else on the matter, already turned on his heels to make his way back to his palace. Truth be told, Mammon hadn't paid much attention to the battle going on in Pentagram city. He just knew small details that their hotel shtick was being rebuilt. He merely offers a small shrug of his shoulders when Adam speaks up again. 

So be it for him if he wanted to believe Mammon was joking about offering a safe haven for him while in his ring. Hell, to be fair, it was weird for him to even offer such a thing to a fallen, but he was feeling generous that day. "Hey, it's yer call, mate. You can eitha take it or jus' keep survivin' out here in that get up." 

Though, he is pleasantly surprised when Adam does finally decide to follow him. Good, keep entertaining him. 

"The catch ? " He repeats nearly innocently, head tilted curiously & everything. "Hm, no catch. Well, unless you count th' fact I may want ya t' stay with me even if you get back on yer feet. & Don't worry, ain't no one gonna find ya ... unless you were stupid enough to leave a trail or somethin'." 

But Mammon's been leading him through the city without a care and Adam had been too lost in thought to notice where they were going until they'd arrived.

"Look I may be down here but I ain't dumb, and I didn't get incompetent overnight either, alright?" He huffed at the dig to his skills. He's ADAM for fuck's sake! Anything that tried tailing him is long dead and rotting in an alleyway by now, thank you very much.

He meets Mammon's gaze when the other glances behind him and with perhaps uncharacteristic seriousness, he nods at the question. "Yeah. Yeah we're on the same page alright. I ain't gonna kick up a fuss when you're getting me out of a tight spot for fuckin' free." Everything he knows says that's not how it works down here, especially when Mammon is the sin of Greed, but if there'll be consequences those can wait till later.

— Sorry, tonight I just want to rest. Hehe, very nice. It's good to take the mask off once in a while... even just for one night.

ooc / mun meme.   using anon or not — send me a canon character you believe i could write, and why you think i could write that muse. 

           DREAMS SAVE US; DREAMS LIFT US UP AND TRANSFORM US.            AND ON MY SOUL I SWEAR… UNTIL MY DREAM OF A WORLD            WHERE DIGNITY, HONOR AND JUSTICE BECOME THE REALITY WE                                                                    ALL SHARE,                                             I WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING!

Yeah, it was definitely Adam, his voice just gave it away. 

"Oh, I dunno, maybe cause it seems like such a long shot fer ya to even be here. Coulda sworn you'd go straight t' Lucifer after the whole ... incident." He decided to choose his words carefully for the time being. Despite Adam appearing weak, he didn't want to test him, even if he had such a growing urge to. 

He especially didn't want a fucking fight breaking out while he was out in the open. The hell born would be all over that shit. 

He's inching closer, leaning forward to rest his elbow upon Adam's shoulder. "Look, I'll cut ya a deal. You can stay here & I'll offer ya a room at my place. Jus' don't steal my shit, got it ? " Mammon's careful with this, not wanting to give Adam any wild ideas or anything.

Listen, just because the fallen first man was in Hell now, didn't mean he owned his ring all of a sudden. Gaze is still on his form, watching him closely. Come to think of it, looking at him in a different light —— Adam was kind of cute. KIND OF.

& Now he clears his throat, pushing that thought off to the far back burner of his mind. ... Fucking dick. 

Growling under his breath, Mammon turns to leave, stopping for a moment to glance over his shoulder. "Well, are ya comin' or what ? " He asks, waiting patiently for Adam to make up his mind.

Yet clearly it doesn't stop him from getting into Adam's space. If he paid attention, Mammon might notice Adam's wings lightly fluffing up underneath his cloak, clearly not pleased with the intrusion yet at the same time not confident enough to shove him… Nor would he be moving away, that'd just make him look weak. Weak equals dead down here, he's seen enough to know it's true for sure by now.

"Go to Lucifer?" His entire body language exudes incredulity along with his tone, as though the one indicator could not nearly be enough to display his disbelief and abhorrence at the very idea of going to Lucifer after his defeat, begging for shelter after he'd tried to kill his daughter? Yeah, that'd not only be stupid but there's no way his pride could've taken the hit.

Lucifer had meant to spare him, the way Vaggie had spared Lute, a curse rather than a mercy for warriors like them… But coming back from death hadn't exactly been the plan. He'd died once already, as a human. You don't get a second death… Right? Everything he knows of the afterlife says that's not how it works, yet here he is. And there Mammon is, still talking—

Wait, what?!

"You're joking—" Surely he had to be? Going from wary and invasive to just… Inviting Adam to live with him? Why not just leave him out here to struggle to survive? He'd managed so far, sure, but something was gonna get him one way or the other and wouldn't that be a win for the rest of them?

For all of his increased awareness, he'd been too lost in thought to catch Mammon checking him out, but when the other turns to leave and calls out to him, Adam is quick to kick himself back into gear and follow. He's being offered a place to stay, seemingly no strings attached, safe from this hell scape— He'd be a fucking idiot not to take it.
