It does not surprise the king to find the majority of his followers getting comfortable in their homes and with his new reign. Valkyrie and Lucaya were completely within their rights to keep close and make good with the lands of his domain. Kirastasia and Hocus Pocus, on the other paw, had more than enough acquaintance with this particular territory. Those he expected to be off and find others who fit Malignant's knew bill. Well, Hocus was expected to. He had not seen the white girl as of yet, nor had he seen her young son. Kira had been asked to fix Lucaya, who had refused treatment. This actually worked to the young woman's advantage, giving her a leave of duty that Lucifer simply could not have. Despite all of the iconic hearsay, Lucifer hated idle paws.

This day finds the demonic male basking in a newly favored sunspot, his massive form flat on his side. White legs shine as the snow beneath them, his brindled markings giving the look of fallen nettles on the floor of the dense forest. It is the sound of approaching paw steps that see his broad cranium rise from its lazy position on the ground, ears tipped forward as those red eyes catch sight of the russet and beautifully scarred Valkyrie. "Getting the lay of the land?" He asks as she passes where he lay. Sitting up in a more regal position, Lucifer watches his new follower. How her face moves as she speaks, what her body does when she moves, it all gave him a sense of who she was and how she liked to live her life. Judging by her scarred visage, the male guessed she found it exciting to start fights - or maybe, finish them. He read the boredom on her face all to plainly and it had him rising to his paws.

Standing to follow her motions, Lucifer is quiet as he walks with her. There was an unspoken aura of power about him, a deep set confidence that came with winning a crown. He wondered what this female could bring to his pack, or if she were here for a free ride. If she gave something, she would have something to give to. If she was only here for the snacks and refreshment, Lucifer would show her exactly what he thought of idle paws. Time would tell, and he was watching the raven queen just as closely. This girl, this magnificent warrior woman seemed to need something more...stimulating to do. Lucifer, clever devil that he was, knew exactly what they could do to liven up the day.
