then we'll lie, cheat, steal and murder everything

It was only a moment after his words erupted from his jaws that her soft voice responded, "I don't think I'm hurt. Maybe my pride a bit.. But physically I'm okay." The faintest of smiles oddly crossed his kissers as his crimson hues flicked to look at her. “You shouldn’t be embarrassed.. After all, I am the only one who saw,” he uneasily teased at her. The smile on Lucian's maw would fade for a moment; his red hues glazing over as he realized that her ears had drawn back. She was.. scared of him? In any other instance, the demon would use this to his benefit. Others strayed away from him because of his size and usual aggressiveness. He did not commonly take to strangers easily; and yet, he found his stomach wrenching at the idea that this female was afraid of him. Although, it seemed as though the distress she experienced has dispersed. Lucian dully observed her as she proceeded with her short laughing fit. He rehearsed their conversation in his cranium, but for the life of him, he could not imagine what would come off so funny.

"I'm sorry for laughing.. It's just a bit funny that essentially I trampled over you, and then you introduce yourself.” An awkward mixture of a grin and relief crossed his heavy maw; she would probably find it even funnier if she ever knew that Lucian never introduced himself a day before in his years. Lucian was a naturally introverted being, and for him to be even out at this hour of day was odd for himself. “Perhaps I wanted to learn the title of the woman who squashed me,” his shadowed façade contorted jokingly.

When her vocals quivered at her next phrase, the demon's red hues struggled to meet with hers. “My name is Amari.. I don't have a horrid impression of you.. It's just I'm not very good around others without my sister... I hope my horrible social skills haven't scared you off.” Lucian’s face furrowed faintly with her words, and after a short hesitation, he responded; this time, his usually heavy lyrics coming out as hushed as he could manage, “I understand.. I'm not much of a talker, myself.” His large audits immediately perked back up, however; there was a part of him that desperately urged him to further his conversation with the Miss. He had only encountered two other lifeforms in his short time at Blossom; the Queen of Munashii Gekko and the fallen beast who he had happened to come across during one of his nightly visits to the plateau. The chestnut vixen had definitely caught his attention quicker than any others. “It is nice to meet you as well, Amari.”

“I have not been in this land very long.. However, I don’t think I’ve seen you before,” his large frame now shifted to regain his resting spot from before; Lucian’s thick cranium resting upon his pillars as his red hues watched the Miss for her reaction. “So, tell me. What brings you here?”

"if you don't want to dwell in the light, then dwell in the shadows with me."
