‘ you know, you could come visit me more often. i feel.. unloved. ‘
‘i could also start the apocalypse, but i’ve been banned from doing that.’
“that why you’re bothering me at work?” She looked up a small smile on her lips, “Pretty sure I heard that somewhere too, it’s all a matter of perspective. I got a shit ton of power, but here I am wasting it to play pretend.” With a careless shrug, she closed her laptop, “Hows the getting more power thing working for you?”
He snorted. “I was in the area – I thought i’d drop by and playing pretend is overrated.” Not that Ky could talk, he spent more time around humans than he’d like, but at least they didn’t bicker constantly about infernal pissing contests. Well, not all the time at least. “— And perfectly fine. No problems at all.”
“Unfortunately for you I’m not the type to care.” At least when things didn’t involve him directly, but he doubted that it truly mattered. “However, i’m quite sure I could possibly be… persuaded.”
“Oh please. They’re weak, and pretty shit at tracking people down. I could snap their necks with a snap of my fingers if I wanted to. If we get him now while he’s weak, Hell could go back to how it’s supposed to be—- and under its rightful queen.”
There was a roll of his eyes. “Suit yourself, but I doubt Hell will ever get back to normal.” Not anytime soon at least. While he truly wanted the job, even Ky knew he wasn’t ready for such a task. He didn’t know if he ever would be, but he’d get around to it eventually. “Even if most demons are weak.. enough of them can become a threat.”
“and here we sit again, foe or friends? i think i’ll leave that decision to you, ky’lar.” @hellfirebound
keeping his tongue in check was key here; admitting to himself he never really had a choice was one thing, but voicing it another. so, he oped to be respectful for once. “friends. If such a thing is possible.”
