Phew...the throne room sure is a nerve-racking place, huh? I thought I was gonna have a heart attack or something...

Anyway, I had a little talk with the king...reul? He's got a really interesting name, I almost thought he was gonna be someone else. I wanted to know what they were actually fighting for here...but, uh, he's really intense, it was so hard to focus. He said something about a true end, and the seelie have something to do with it? I've been thinking about it since then this whole time...

[And pretending to be an easily intimidated teenager sure is a handy excuse to not mention anything else she was told.]

So I was wondering, anyone know what the deal with that is? Has anyone asked the Seelie monarchs something like that? I'd be interested in hearing what they have to say, especially their involvement with something so sinister sounding.

I guess I just don't wanna end up helping the bad guys by mistake.

[Not that she genuinely believes life's so easily divided into black and white, but she'll get some amusement out of it if someone tries giving the whole "good and evil are subjective" lecture to her of all people.]

[With a sigh, he slips into his own voice, deeper than Jekyll.]

There is no need to make distinctions. We are one in the same, despite anything my other half might say.

[Really, don't, the numbers sound stupid, he'd rather give his real name than listen to that.]

Now you've changed the topic.

[Alright, a bit more seriously:]

I'll keep you in the loop like you asked, but I can't promise anything soon. I doubt this one instance makes the King and I best friends or something.

You might be out of luck hoping to meet him anyway. People seem surprised he did speak with me, so apparently he's very careful about the company he keeps.

[cagedinflesh]

I expect nothing, only to be told if there is something. I do not share the same spineless attitude and am only interested in knowing whether I should become loyal to the king for some reason.

[Like being the devil.]

[individualist]

And you'd be loyal to him based on that? On being Lucifer?

[cagedinflesh]

It would give me a greater inclination. Of course, the rest is still dependant upon specifics. And I would offer my life to none.

[individualist]

What a weird thing to say.

[She laughs though, sounding amused.]

It's not been all that long, but...you're way more interesting than the other guy, you know that? That mysterious edge of yours, I just don't know how a girl like me is supposed to resist it.

Could you tell me more? Why you feel that way?

[cagedinflesh]

[Don't sound like you're flirting with him, that's the worst possible thing anyone could do. But just like that, with such fine compliments, placing him above Jekyll, he accepts the conversation. Even decides she might not be so bad as she's seemed.]

Of course. That man is boring in every way, and what's more, a hypocrite. That is the reason for which I feel this way, everything he denies should be increased tenfold in me, until I cannot be denied. There is nothing worse than those who put on airs or masks, hide their true thoughts and interests for the sake of appearances, and call it morality or goodness. I would imagine one such as Lucifer would be just the opposite. Someone therefore far more admirable.
