It was a remarkable gesture, the one the raven queen gave to the tiger king. His recent win against Carnival had him feeling rather excited and aggravated at the same time. The source of the aggravation was what to do with an empty pack if none of the members wished to stay. So far only Hocus Pocus and her small boy, Drizzt, had arrived though he had no doubt more would show. Still, even with the recent victor and others bowing their heads to him, the heathen regarded the dark female with something of a suspicious look. "Perhaps, I should take a lesson from the ones who don't speak. Hm?" Those deep, rolling vocals wash over the landscape, the look in those lava pool eyes was murder, but his posture relaxes and he reclines.

"You seem curious enough, maybe I will just tell you." Lucifer smiles, the brindle pattern on his face moving to emphasize the handsome appeal of his face. "But, I will only show you mine, if you show me yours first." The devil looked her up and down, grinning from ear to ear like a lion sizing up a deer. Maybe the woman would just tell him her name, maybe then they could both relax. Lucifer's attitude may not change much, but something about his regard for the the small woman before him had. She laughed when he threatened, and he would not feed the suicidal. The raven female had turned him off, took away that killing rage that was still so fresh from the defeat of Carnival.

Forgive his brutish ways, he knows not what he does.
