Games and Play [Devi]

To say that the demon put on airs for people just to impress them was a grave error. The way he was was just how he was. He could be friendly, but just as easily flip to annoyed or angry in a second it honestly depended on what was happening. Speaking of happenings, the demon would flick his tail again as he shook his head slightly. "If I was annoyed by every little thing, you wouldn’t be safe up there puss puss,” the demon said and then huffing a bit he would continue. “Do you think I would be constantly poking at the subject of a name if I wasn’t interested in introductions? Tell me something puss puss: would you even answer the question if I asked in a “normal” fashion?” the demon would ask wondering if the cat would be straightforward even if had started this encounter in the normal way. It was hard to say. Cats were tricky by nature and this one seemed to fall into the same boat...whatever it was.

And perhaps the thing that bothered him most was that he didn’t quite know what to do with this cat. He was used to having the upper hand not someone on the same level with him. Did this make him angry. Not really, but it certainly turned his usual behavior around a bit as he took the moment to adapt to the creature that he allowed to sit on his head. Could this make what he wanted confusing? Yes, but one just had to deal with it for the time being. While he pondered that little matter, he would find his thoughts interrupted as the cat decided to make a comment to his vague one of whether he wanted the cat to go or not. To what he heard, the demon would snort. “Well someone has to be kind around here,” he said before becoming distracted as B and Sinclair came over.

As for what happened, despite him complaining about the cat the little demon’s face seem to melt into something akin to true sadness as the cat hopped off his head to escape. Did he actually like the cat on his head? It was hard to say because in the next second, he was a bit distracted by boobs in the face instead as B somehow did not stop herself when she missed the cat….and now she was smooshing his face against her chest?

“The baby cat hates me!” she was saying in the most dramatic way as the demon wiggled to get free from the death embrace...and then found himself being pretty much ripped out of his seat and tossed to the side as the cat spoke and B spun around with a delightful squeal. “Oh it speaks!” she would say as she promptly took the now vacant seat. Too pleased, she would rest her elbows on the table before looking over the cat with a bright smile.

“How are you little darling?” she would ask in friendly tones not seeming to pay the smaller demon in mind as he picked himself up from the ground and then grumbling something about why women like B should not be allowed to drink, he would begin to clean the grass off of him. Sinclair would only shake his head as his eyes drifted from B and the cat to Devi to make sure the guy wasn’t actually injured. Maybe that one drink she had was more powerful than its description said. Hmmm..Hopefully, she wouldn’t get out of control. In any case, he would remain observing for now.

The demon would close his eyes at that one as his tail swished in thought. That was honestly one that harder to answer than one would think for various reasons; however, the demon would keep it simple enough as he gave a light snort. “More like a warning to be careful is all.” ...and he wasn’t even being sarcastic or cruel with this one. Just honest. If he was ticked off in the wrong way nothing ever good came out of it….nothing; however, that messy matter was not here thankfully, so let’s just roll away from that one okay? Either way the demon didn’t seem to mind the movement on his head and when the cat gave a reply back to the name matter, the demon would just facepalm a bit. “Is that so?” he would ask as his eyes reopened to look around the area.

Ah well, he would that one go for now as his mind went to other things until that charity comment came up. To this one, the demon actually chuckled - a surprisingly friendly and pleasing sound despite his behavior. “Heh. I am not the type of guy to do that. My girl would though, but me? Nope.” His patience for that sort of stuff was short anyway. Like he was all for helping people and all, but still trying to do all that work and yadayadayada that went into those sort of things? Man it would drive him up the wall, so he left that stuff to the other two who had way more tolerance for all that than he did.

Speaking of tolerance and what not, the demon would find himself a bit grumpy from being thrown around and such as B made such a scene over nothing really. It was a little confusing, but not surprising when she was overly hyped or drunk. In any case, the smaller demon would finish dusting himself off nodding a bit at Sinclair before his eyes turned back to B as she spoke to the cat.

“Oh, I am sorry, sugar! Perhaps you prefer petting instead?” she was say, but thankfully didn’t move towards the cat as she watched it with eyes full adoration. Even when the cat made his sarcastic remark the woman would not be phased as she lifted a gloved hand and giggled. “And it is so charming to with its little smile and jokes too! You're almost as cute as Devi. Almost,” she would say amused and then seeming to remember something she would hop up from her chair just as Devi was rolling his eyes at the comment and began to come back over. He would like to sit again ya know? “You know what else exists? A sale on funnel cake. Come on we’re going to get some right now!” she would say as she moved from her spot and grabbed Devi right by the collar and yanked him away. The smaller demon would make a little fuss as he was dragged away, but soon both him and the overly bubbly woman would be gone leaving the cat with the last of the trio, the wolf.

The wolf would watch the pair go before, his eyes turned back to the small cat on the table. Folding his hands quietly on the table he would observe the cat for a moment before speaking.

“You’ll have to forgive her. She likes her parties a little too much and can get...how should I put it? Overzealous about things,” the wolf would begin in calm low tones, his behavior the most chilled of the group so far. He would give the cat a small smile before continuing. “My name is Sinclair. The woman you met is B and the other Devi. I must admit I am impressed. I have yet to see anyone sit around Devi longer than a few seconds before leaving because he is too much. Tell me little one, what is your name?” The voice would remain as level as always as the wolf kept calm and steady eyes on the cat.

The demon would hear the chuckle from the cat that remained on his head, a very faint smirk of pleasure actually crossing his face; however, to catch it one would have to have a good eye for detail and be repetitively quick to catch the action. He didn’t seem to mind the cat not answering him, so he made no comment towards the action. Once the cat spoke on charity though, the demon would blink a bit.

“I honestly don’t have the patient for all the paper and stuff that goes with it. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for helping folk by doing and such, but I am not about to sit behind a desk or table trying to get donations and do all that admin work. I’d do better as someone out in the field. I find doing better than just sitting around waiting is all.” It drove him crazy to just sit still doing nothing normal to be honest, unless of course it was like this where he chose to sit for relaxation purposes. Besides while he could entertain and act certain ways on a stage before an audience, when it came to being off stage he could be nice, but putting on that sort of face all the time had a limit making him not the best at charming people to donate. No he was better just focusing on a task and doing stuff, so charity stuff wasn’t a high thing on his list unless he was put to actual work.

In any case, the chatting would come to an end in time as B and Sinclair came over and what happened well happened. To what the cat said, B would puff her cheeks out a bit in disappointment. “No, but you can be a sweet heart and accept some love,” she said with a huff seeming agitated for a few seconds before mind went to food and she perked up again before dragging the smaller demon away. Left with more or less silence now that the more lively pair was gone, Sinclair would speak to the cat taking note of its behavior and in turn its response to the words he had spoken earlier.

The wolf smirk a bit. “I was the same way when I first met him. I thought he was annoying and just a headache to be honest; however, he has proved he is more than he seems if you just give him a chance. Granted, you need patience for days for that,” the wolf would give a low chuckle before continuing. “She is attracted to cute things and unfortunately cannot resist wanting to snuggle or pet said things; however, I can understand the need for space and she does need to work on not doing that everything she sees. I have a feeling it may get her in trouble if she does that to the wrong thing.” She had been lucky so far, but he was always concerned what said target would do to her or himself or Devi due to her actions. How long would Lady Luck side with them before she was like nope on that front? That wandering thought aside, it looked like he got a name. “A pleasure to meet you, Cryox. Tell me are you a native of this place?”
